Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI voice

22, May 2025

Telnyx is excited to share that with our Model Context Protocol (MCP), technical teams can now connect secure AI voice, messaging, and storage workflows directly to Claude Desktop and ChatGPT Playground.

Managing multi-channel AI workflows used to mean jumping between tools and fighting platform silos, but this update changes that. With no middleware, there’s no friction, making it even easier to get started.

What’s new

  • MCP integration for Claude Desktop and ChatGPT Playground. Connect Telnyx as a remote (or local) model server in minutes.
  • Secure authentication using your Telnyx API key. Meets enterprise compliance standards.
  • Full API action support. Automate call control, AI assistant management, messaging, phone number procurement, and more.
  • Real-time outbound calls and messaging. Initiate voice, send SMS or MMS, and embed content from your AI interface.
  • Cloud storage operations. Create and manage buckets and files inside your workflows.
  • Simple setup. Add a single entry to your config file and start building.

Why it matters

High-volume, regulated, or distributed operations need voice tools that are secure, reliable, and flexible. The Telnyx MCP lets you automate complex call flows, manage voice assistants, and handle compliant messaging or storage from your preferred AI desktop. This reduces manual work, cuts deployment time, and keeps all communications auditable. Technical teams can now deploy compliant, scalable AI voice right from where they already work.
