AgentPhone MCP Server

Give AI agents real phone numbers, SMS, and voice calls via the Model Context Protocol.

AgentPhone lets your AI agent buy phone numbers, send/receive SMS, and place voice calls — all through natural language in Cursor, Claude Desktop, or any MCP-compatible client.

Agents are the core concept — each agent gets its own phone numbers, voice personality, system prompt, and webhook. Think of an agent as a virtual team member with its own phone line. You can create agents for different purposes (support, sales, scheduling) and configure how they sound and behave on calls.

Quick Start

1. Get your API key

Sign up at agentphone.to and create an API key from Settings.

2. Connect via MCP

Option A: Remote server (recommended)

Point your MCP client at the hosted endpoint — no install needed:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentphone": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.agentphone.to/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Works with any MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP transport (Switchboard, remote agent platforms, etc.).

Option B: Local server (stdio)

Runs locally via npx — works with Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and Claude Code:

Cursor: Settings > MCP or ~/.cursor/mcp.json Claude Desktop: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentphone": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentphone-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AGENTPHONE_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option C: Self-hosted HTTP server

Run your own HTTP MCP endpoint:

AGENTPHONE_API_KEY=your_api_key npx agentphone-mcp --http --port 3000

Then connect to http://localhost:3000/mcp.

What Can It Do?

Once configured, just ask your AI agent things like:

• "Buy me a phone number in the 415 area code"
• "Create a support agent that greets callers and helps with billing"
• "Call +14155551234 and have a conversation about scheduling a dentist appointment"
• "Text +14155551234 saying 'Your appointment is confirmed for 3pm tomorrow'"
• "Show me my recent calls and transcripts"
• "List the available voices and switch my agent to a different one"
• "Set up a webhook so I get notified when someone calls or texts my number"
• "Show me this month's usage breakdown"

Transports

| Transport | Command | Use case | |-----------|---------|----------| | Streamable HTTP (remote) | https://mcp.agentphone.to/mcp | Agent platforms (Switchboard, etc.), remote clients | | Streamable HTTP (self-hosted) | npx agentphone-mcp --http --port 3000 | Your own infrastructure | | stdio (default) | npx agentphone-mcp | Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Claude Code |

Authentication

• stdio: API key via AGENTPHONE_API_KEY environment variable
• HTTP (self-hosted): API key via env var or Authorization: Bearer <key> header per request
• HTTP (hosted): API key via Authorization: Bearer <key> header per request

Endpoints (HTTP mode)

| Method | Path | Description | |--------|------|-------------| | POST | /mcp | MCP Streamable HTTP endpoint (stateless — each request is independent) | | GET | /health | Health check |

Highlights

• Phone numbers — buy and manage numbers in any US/CA area code
• SMS — send and receive text messages, view conversation threads
• Voice calls — place outbound calls with built-in AI conversation (no webhook needed) or bring your own webhook
• Inbound handling — set up webhooks to receive and respond to inbound calls and texts in real time
• Agents — create agents with custom voices, system prompts, call transfer, and voicemail
• Usage & billing — monitor your plan limits, message/call volume, and daily/monthly breakdowns

All Tools (26)

Account

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | account_overview | Get a full snapshot of your account — agents, numbers, webhook, and usage | | get_usage | Get usage stats, plan limits, and quotas. Use breakdown for daily or monthly time-series. |

Phone Numbers

SMS

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | send_message | Send an SMS from one of your agent's numbers | | get_messages | Get messages for a specific number | | list_conversations | List SMS conversations. Pass agent_id to filter by agent. | | get_conversation | Get a conversation with full message history | | update_conversation | Set metadata on a conversation |

Voice Calls

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | list_calls | List calls. Filter by agent_id, number_id, status, direction, or keyword. | | get_call | Get call details and transcript | | make_call | Place an outbound call (webhook-driven) | | make_conversation_call | Place a call with built-in AI conversation — no webhook needed |

Agents

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | list_agents | List all agents with their numbers and voice config | | create_agent | Create a new agent with voice, system prompt, call transfer, and voicemail | | update_agent | Update an agent's configuration | | delete_agent | Delete an agent (numbers are kept but unassigned) | | get_agent | Get agent details including phone numbers and voice config | | attach_number | Assign a phone number to an agent | | detach_number | Remove a phone number from an agent | | list_voices | List available voices for agents |

Webhooks

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | get_webhook | Get webhook configuration | | set_webhook | Set a webhook URL for inbound messages and call events | | delete_webhook | Remove a webhook | | test_webhook | Send a test event to verify your webhook works | | list_webhook_deliveries | View delivery history for debugging |

Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description | |----------|----------|-------------| | AGENTPHONE_API_KEY | stdio: yes, HTTP: no | Your AgentPhone API key (HTTP mode can use Authorization header instead) | | AGENTPHONE_BASE_URL | No | Override the API base URL (defaults to https://api.agentphone.to) | | PORT | No | Port for HTTP mode (defaults to 3000, overridden by --port) |

Development

git clone https://github.com/AgentPhone-AI/agentphone-mcp.git
cd agentphone-mcp
npm install
npm run dev     # Run with tsx (hot reload)
npm run build   # Compile TypeScript
npm start       # Run compiled JS (stdio)

How It Works

This MCP server connects your AI assistant to the AgentPhone API. Your assistant talks to the MCP server, which calls the AgentPhone API, which talks to the phone network.

Your AI Assistant  <-->  agentphone-mcp  <-->  AgentPhone API  <-->  Phone Network

Outbound: your assistant places calls and sends texts through AgentPhone's API.

Inbound: when someone calls or texts your number, AgentPhone sends a webhook event to your server — you can then respond programmatically or let your agent's built-in AI handle it.
