Overview

AI-generated overview

Telenow is a remote MCP server that lets an AI assistant place real phone calls, run calling campaigns and build voice agents from your own Telenow numbers.

What you can do
List your callable numbers and place a real call, then read its status, outcome, summary and transcript; list recent inbound and outbound calls and summarize follow-ups needed. Create, inspect and update voice agents, including multi-step flow agents, and list available voices. Estimate the cost per minute for an agent or planned setup. Create campaigns, add up to 1,000 targets, start, resume or pause them, and review per-person results.
When to use it
Use it when you want an assistant to make or review real phone calls, such as booking a table, confirming appointments, following up on leads, or checking what came in on a business line. Also useful for drafting and running outbound calling campaigns and building voice agents with a cost estimate.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at over Streamable HTTP; nothing to install. A Telenow account with at least one phone number, and either OAuth 2.1 sign-in (choosing organization, numbers and permissions) or an organization API key sent in the Authorization header. Calls are paid from your Telenow wallet.
Before you install
Calls are billed per minute from your organization's wallet within spend limits, so real money is spent. Several tools reach real people: place_call dials immediately, add_campaign_targets adds people, and start_campaign begins dialing. A write-capable API key has full permissions in its organization, while a read-only key gives read-only tools. Agent tools, webhooks and transfers stay off unless the agents:tools scope is granted.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Telenow — AI Phone Calls & Voice Agents in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/ai.telenow%2Ftelenow/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

Telenow MCP Server

Let your AI assistant make real phone calls.

Docs · Tools reference · Protocol & OAuth · Costs per minute

Telenow is a remote MCP server that gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Grok, Gemini CLI and any MCP client a real phone. Place calls from your own Telenow numbers, get the outcome, summary and transcript, build voice agents, quote the price per minute, and run outbound calling campaigns.

This repository holds documentation and client configuration only. The server is hosted by Telenow at https://api.telenow.ai/mcp; there is nothing to install or run.

What you can ask

  • "Call +1 415 555 0100 and book a table for 4 at 8pm Friday under my name. Tell me what they said."
  • "What calls came in on my sales line yesterday? Summarize anything that needs a follow-up."
  • "Build a voice agent that confirms dental appointments in Spanish, and tell me its cost per minute."
  • "Draft a campaign calling these 200 leads between 10am and 6pm their time, two retries on no answer. Don't start it yet."
  • "How did yesterday's renewal campaign go? Who asked to be called back?"

Install

You need a Telenow account with at least one phone number. When you connect, Telenow asks you to sign in and choose the organization, numbers and permissions the assistant may use.

Claude (claude.ai, Desktop, mobile)

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → URL https://api.telenow.ai/mcp → Connect and sign in.

Claude Code

bash
# OAuth sign-inclaude mcp add --transport http telenow https://api.telenow.ai/mcp
# or with an API keyclaude mcp add --transport http telenow https://api.telenow.ai/mcp \  --header "Authorization: Bearer vai_live_…"

ChatGPT

Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced → enable Developer mode → Create connector → URL https://api.telenow.ai/mcp, auth OAuth. On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

Cursor

[Add to Cursor]

Or add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "telenow": { "url": "https://api.telenow.ai/mcp" }  }}

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

json
// .vscode/mcp.json{  "servers": {    "telenow": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.telenow.ai/mcp" }  }}

Windsurf / Cline / other clients with OAuth

Add a remote (Streamable HTTP) server with URL https://api.telenow.ai/mcp. The client will open the Telenow sign-in page.

Clients without OAuth

Send an organization API key as a header:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "telenow": {      "url": "https://api.telenow.ai/mcp",      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer vai_live_…" }    }  }}

A read-only key gives read-only tools; a write-capable key has full permissions in its organization.

Gemini CLI

bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/TelenowAI/Telenow-AI-MCP

Grok

grok.com/connectors → New Connector → Custom → URL https://api.telenow.ai/mcp.

Safety and permissions

  • The assistant must ask before anything reaches real people.
  • It can only call from the numbers you chose when connecting.
  • It never sees or sets your API keys.
  • It can only change agents and campaigns it created.
  • Agent tools, webhooks and transfers stay off unless you tick Give agents tools (agents:tools scope).
  • OAuth scopes: calls:read, calls:write, agents:write, agents:tools, campaigns:write, offline_access.
  • Rate limit: 3,000 requests per 15 minutes per connection or API key.

Pricing

Calls are billed per minute from your organization's wallet, within your spend limits. A typical setup (Cartesia voice, GPT-4o-mini, Deepgram Nova-3, Plivo) is about $0.049/min; a 2-minute call to 100 people is about $10. Use the estimate_cost tool for an exact quote. Parts running on your own vendor keys or carrier are not billed by Telenow. See https://telenow.ai/docs/mcp-costs.
