magpipe — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Connects AI assistants to Magpipe telephony, enabling outbound calls, SMS sending, and voice agent configuration directly from coding tools.
claude mcp add magpipe -e MAGPIPE_API_KEY=<MAGPIPE_API_KEY> -- npx -y magpipe-mcp-serverWhat magpipe does
The MCP server grants coding environments direct access to the Magpipe platform. It exposes tools to initiate phone calls, fetch audio recordings, inspect conversation transcripts, and dispatch text messages. You can also inspect contacts and manage booking slots.
Beyond live calling, it handles knowledge base ingestion via manual text or web URLs. Running the server requires a valid MAGPIPE_API_KEY token starting with mgp_. Without this credential, the server rejects API calls immediately.
What it helps with
- initiate outbound calls and retrieve signed audio recordings
- send SMS messages to contacts directly from the workspace
- purchase and release phone numbers for voice bots
- sync web pages or text into an agent knowledge base
Example prompts for the agent
- Check calendar booking availability and schedule an appointment via Magpipe
- Place an outbound phone call to
+1234567890using the support agent - List recent SMS messages and fetch the transcript of the last call
