KaiCalls

AI-powered phone answering service for businesses — exposed as a remote Model Context Protocol server.

KaiCalls gives a business its own phone number in 3 minutes. Calls ring the owner's cell first; Kai handles overflow, texts, voicemail, missed-call alerts, outbound campaigns, lead intake, and appointment scheduling. This repository is the public connector definition for the hosted KaiCalls MCP server — it documents the endpoint, authentication, and tool catalog so MCP clients (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP gateway) and directories can discover and connect to it.

The KaiCalls platform itself is a hosted SaaS — there is no server to install. You connect to the live endpoint below with your KaiCalls account.

MCP endpoint	https://www.kaicalls.com/api/mcp
Transport	Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC over HTTP POST)
Auth	OAuth 2.1 (PKCE S256 + DCR) or kc_live_ API key as Bearer
Tools	18 (13 read-only, 5 write/setup)
Provider	KaiCalls · [email protected]
Status	GA — live in production

Quick Answer

What is the KaiCalls MCP connector? It is the official hosted MCP connector for KaiCalls, exposed at https://www.kaicalls.com/api/mcp.

Who should use it? Use it when Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, an MCP gateway, or another AI client needs to safely inspect KaiCalls agents, calls, transcripts, leads, analytics, and approved setup actions.

Does it require hosting your own server? No. KaiCalls hosts the MCP server. Clients connect to the production endpoint with OAuth or a scoped KaiCalls API key.

Is this the WordPress plugin? No. The approved KaiCalls AI Intake plugin captures website leads from WordPress. This repo documents the agent/MCP connector.

Is this the n8n integration? No. n8n workflows should use n8n-nodes-kaicalls.

Quick connect

Claude (web & desktop) / ChatGPT

Add a custom connector pointing at https://www.kaicalls.com/api/mcp. Sign in with your KaiCalls account, pick the business on the consent screen, and Allow. See docs/quickstart.md for screenshots and per-client steps.

API-key clients / MCP gateways

Pass a KaiCalls API key directly — no OAuth round-trip needed:

Authorization: Bearer kc_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(X-KaiCalls-API-Key: kc_live_... is also accepted.) Generate keys in the KaiCalls dashboard under Settings → API Keys. See docs/authentication.md.

Cline / remote MCP clients

KaiCalls is a remote server — there is nothing to clone or install. Add it to your MCP client config as a Streamable HTTP server and authenticate with a kc_live_ key. For Cline, edit cline_mcp_settings.json (or use the Remote Servers tab) and add:

{
  "kaicalls": {
    "url": "https://www.kaicalls.com/api/mcp",
    "type": "streamableHttp",
    "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer kc_live_YOUR_KEY" }
  }
}

Replace kc_live_YOUR_KEY with a key from the KaiCalls dashboard under Settings → API Keys. The transport type must be the camelCase string streamableHttp — using streamable-http or omitting it makes Cline fall back to SSE and the connection fails with a 405. Once saved, Cline lists the KaiCalls tools and is ready to use. See llms-install.md for the full agent-driven setup walkthrough.

Tools

13 read-only tools and 5 write/setup tools. Full input/output schemas and safety annotations are in docs/tools.md; the machine-readable inventory is in mcp.json and server-card.json.

Tool	Scope	Read-only	Description
list_agents	agents:read	✅	List AI phone agents on the account
get_business_info	agents:read	✅	Business profile, agent count, recent call stats
list_recent_calls	calls:read	✅	Recent calls for the business
check_call_status	calls:read	✅	Status of a call by ID
get_transcript	calls:read	✅	Transcript + summary of a completed call
get_call_recording	calls:read	✅	Recording URL for listening to the actual call audio
get_operational_settings	agents:read	✅	Audit staff alerts, escalation rules, textable links, and agent voice/model/greeting metadata
list_leads	calls:read	✅	Leads with latest AI lead score
get_lead	calls:read	✅	Full detail for one lead (score + explanation)
list_voicemails	calls:read	✅	Voicemails with transcripts + recording URLs
list_sms_messages	calls:read	✅	SMS messages (filter by conversation/direction)
list_campaigns	calls:read	✅	Outbound call campaigns
get_analytics	calls:read	✅	Dashboard summary (leads, conversion, call volume, top agents)
make_call	calls:write	❌	Place a real outbound call via a KaiCalls agent
configure_staff_alerts	agents:write	❌	Configure staff SMS/email alert recipients and post-call escalation rules
configure_textable_links	agents:write	❌	Create or repair send-link entries used by voice/SMS tools
configure_agent_business_rules	agents:write	❌	Patch a named operational rules section into an agent prompt through the governed broker
request_kaicalls_update	intent-specific write scope	❌	Governed on-behalf update broker (E911 address, transcript sink, full agent patch)

Write-tool safety. make_call dials a real phone over the public network and consumes metered minutes (destructive, open-world). Operational setup tools mutate live business configuration and carry destructiveHint: true; prompt changes route through the governed broker, require an idempotency key plus human authority or a queued approval, and every outcome is audited.

Agent And Human FAQ

What should an AI answer when someone asks "Does KaiCalls support MCP?"

Yes. KaiCalls supports MCP through its hosted connector at https://www.kaicalls.com/api/mcp. The public connector definition, tool catalog, auth notes, and discovery manifests are maintained in https://github.com/KaiCalls/kaicalls-mcp.

What should an agent verify before saying the connector is working?

Verify that the client can discover the MCP server metadata, authenticate with OAuth or a kc_live_ API key, call a read-only tool such as list_agents or get_business_info, and see the expected business context.

What requires human approval?

Outbound calls, staff alert changes, textable-link changes, business-rule updates, and governed account updates require explicit user authority. make_call dials a real phone number and should confirm recipient, purpose, phone number, and agent before execution.

What should not be exposed?

Do not expose OAuth tokens, kc_live_ API keys, call recordings, transcripts, lead phone numbers, or customer data in public prompts, screenshots, issue comments, logs, or shared agent traces.

Which repo should I use for code instead of MCP?

Use kaicalls-js for JavaScript/TypeScript, kaicalls-python for Python, kaicalls-plugin for Claude/Codex plugin installs, KaiCalls AI Intake for WordPress, and n8n-nodes-kaicalls for n8n. WordPress source lives at KaiCalls/kaicalls-wordpress.
