Details

From the project README

Placetel MCP by usefulapi

Read Placetel calls, recordings, numbers and routing; edit contacts, start calls, send SMS.

Live endpoint: https://placetel.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/placetel

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://placetel.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http placetel https://placetel.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "placetel": {
      "url": "https://placetel.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Placetel credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/placetel/

On first connect you'll paste a Placetel Web API key (Placetel → Integrations → Web API, web.placetel.de/integrations/web_api; an API v1 key works too). The key acts with your account's permissions. Your credentials are validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
