# ictpbx-mcp

Bridges your ICTPBX phone system into an AI assistant. Extensions, inbound numbers, carriers, tenants and live counters come back as plain answers.

## What it does

The server talks to the ICTCore REST API underneath ICTPBX. On the first request it authenticates over email and password, takes the JWT from `POST /authenticate`, then keeps it fresh on its own. Five tools cover the usual questions: how many extensions, devices, ring groups, queues, IVRs, voicemails, conferences and gateways exist; which extensions are configured; which DID numbers are active; which upstream SIP carriers are set; which customer organizations live on the box.

Node.js 18 or newer is the baseline. You supply the REST base address (usually ending in `/api`), the account email and its password. Requests time out after 30000 ms unless you change `ICTPBX_TIMEOUT_MS`. There is also `ICTPBX_TLS_INSECURE` for skipping certificate checks — point it at a self-signed test install, never at a production PBX, because it switches off the check that the server is who it claims.

Everything is read-only by design. The tool set has no write path, so an agent cannot alter a trunk or dial out. Setup is a single npx launch with the credentials passed through the environment.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `ICTPBX_BASE_URL`, `ICTPBX_USERNAME`, `ICTPBX_PASSWORD`, `ICTPBX_TIMEOUT_MS`, `ICTPBX_TLS_INSECURE` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## When to use it
- count extensions and devices on the PBX
- list inbound DID numbers with active state
- see which SIP carriers the PBX uses
- pull the tenants registered on the system
- check queue and IVR totals in chat

## Example prompts
- Give me the PBX statistics: extensions, ring groups and conferences.
- List every DID number with its tenant and whether it is active.
- Which SIP trunk providers are configured on our ICTPBX?
