RetellAI MCP Server — Forked & Maintained by [Rob Raux]

This project is a fork of abhaybabbar/retellai-mcp-server, originally licensed under the MIT License. This fork is independently maintained and extended under the same license.

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for RetellAI, allowing AI assistants to interact with RetellAI's voice services. Based on the RetellAI API.

Features

The RetellAI MCP server provides tools for:

• Call Management: Create and manage phone calls and web calls
• Agent Management: Create and manage voice agents with different LLM configurations
• Phone Number Management: Provision and configure phone numbers
• Voice Management: Access and use different voice options
• Test Case Definitions: Create and manage simulation test cases for voice agents (undocumented API)

Claude Desktop Setup

1. Open Claude Desktop and press CMD + , to go to Settings.
2. Click on the Developer tab.
3. Click on the Edit Config button.
4. This will open the claude_desktop_config.json file in your file explorer.
5. Get your Retell API key from the Retell dashboard (https://dashboard.retellai.com/apiKey).
6. Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json file. See here for more details.
7. Restart the Claude Desktop after editing the config file.

Environment Variables

The RetellAI MCP server uses a two-tier authentication system:

Required: Standard API Key

• RETELL_API_KEY: Your RetellAI API key for all documented APIs
• Get this from: RetellAI Dashboard > API Key
• Required for: All 31 documented tools (calls, agents, phone numbers, voices, LLMs, knowledge bases)

Optional: Undocumented API Credentials

• RETELL_UNDOCUMENTED_BEARER_TOKEN: Bearer token for undocumented APIs
• RETELL_UNDOCUMENTED_ORG_ID: Your workspace/organization ID
• Required for: Only the 4 Test Case Definition tools (simulation testing)
• These are completely optional - the server works perfectly without them

How to Find Undocumented Credentials

If you want to use the Test Case Definition tools, you can find these values using your browser's Developer Tools:

1. Open Browser DevTools: Press F12 or right-click and select "Inspect"
2. Go to Network Tab: Click the "Network" tab in DevTools
3. Login to RetellAI: Navigate to your specific workspace in the RetellAI Dashboard
4. Monitor Network Requests: Look for API requests to api.retellai.com
5. Find Headers: Look for requests that include both:
   • Authorization: Bearer <token> (this is your RETELL_UNDOCUMENTED_BEARER_TOKEN)
   • Orgid: org_<id> (this is your RETELL_UNDOCUMENTED_ORG_ID)

Note: The Org ID is your Workspace ID and follows the format org_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Example use cases:

1. List all the numbers I have in retellai
2. List all the agents I have
3. Tell me more about pizza delivery agent
4. Creating agent and calling example:
   1. Create an agent that calls my local pizza shop, make sure to keep the conversation short and to the point.
   2. Order a margeritta pizza
   3. Payment will be done by cash on delivery
   4. Send it to
   5. The agent should pretend to be me. My name is <your_name>
   6. Make an outbound call to my local pizza shop at <phone_number>, using the usa number

Repo Setup

1. Install dependencies:

   npm i

2. Create a .env file with your RetellAI API key:

   RETELL_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   

3. Run the server:

   node src/retell/index.js
