VOYP Call Automation MCP server

The Voyp Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI assistants like Claude to make and monitor phone calls through the Voyp platform. This integration allows AI models to place calls to businesses for appointments, reservations, or inquiries, while providing real-time call status updates.

Prerequisites

Before using the Voyp MCP server, you need:

• Voyp API key and credits purchased through the Voyp platform
• Claude Desktop, Goose, or other compatible MCP clients
• Node.js (v20 or higher)
  • Verify with: node --version
• Git (only required for Git installation method)

Installation for Goose

To add the Voyp MCP server to Goose:

1. Open Goose
2. Navigate to the extensions section
3. Add the Voyp MCP server extension manually

Installation for Claude Desktop

There are three methods to install the Voyp MCP server:

1. Installing via Smithery

npx -y @smithery/cli install @paulotaylor/voyp-mcp --client claude

2. Running with NPX

npx -y [email protected]

3. Git Installation

git clone https://github.com/paulotaylor/voyp-mcp.git
cd voyp-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Configuring Claude Desktop

After installation, you need to configure Claude Desktop to use the Voyp MCP server:

For macOS:

# Create the config file if it doesn't exist
touch "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json"

# Open in TextEdit
open -e "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json"

# Or open in VS Code
code "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json"

For Windows:

code %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add Server Configuration

Replace your-VOYP-api-key with your actual API key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "voyp-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "voyp-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "VOYP_API_KEY": "your-VOYP-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

If you used the Git installation method, use this configuration instead:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "voyp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["/path/to/voyp-mcp/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "VOYP_API_KEY": "your-VOYP-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using Voyp in Claude Desktop

After installation and configuration:

1. Completely close and reopen the Claude desktop app
2. Look for a hammer icon in the bottom left corner, indicating available MCP tools
3. Click the hammer icon to see details about the start_call and hangup_call tools

Claude can now use these tools to:

• Construct call contexts
• Search for business information
• Make calls for appointments, reservations, or inquiries
• Monitor call status
• End calls

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Server Not Found

   • Verify npm installation: npm --version
   • Check configuration syntax: code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Ensure Node.js is installed: node --version

2. NPX Related Issues

   • Find the npx path: which npx
   • Replace "command": "npx" with "command": "/full/path/to/npx" in your configuration

3. API Key Issues

   • Confirm your Voyp API key is valid
   • Ensure it's correctly set in the config file
   • Check there are no spaces or extra quotes around the API key

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "voyp" '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","voyp-mcp"],"env":{"VOYP_API_KEY":"your-VOYP-api-key"}}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "voyp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "voyp-mcp"
            ],
            "env": {
                "VOYP_API_KEY": "your-VOYP-api-key"
            }
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "voyp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "voyp-mcp"
            ],
            "env": {
                "VOYP_API_KEY": "your-VOYP-api-key"
            }
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
