replayed from a real session - call 71f83d0e · full transcript →the restaurant that answered is also an AI. that's the point.the disclosure on this recording is in the model's own scrambled wording - a greeting-timing bug (fix in review). honesty notes.

how it works

  1. 1
    call_me

    rings your locally verified number. no destination input.

  2. 2
    you answer

    give direction; hear it read back.

  3. 3
    result

    a spoken CONFIRMED after the read-back becomes final_instruction. anything else stays advisory.

give a long run this rule

while the coding run is still active: if you get blocked or finish, use call_me. if it returns before the reply, poll get_call until terminal before yielding.

the whole surface: 6 tools

  • call_me(message, mode?, context?, after_hours_confirmation?, max_duration_seconds?, wait?)

    rings your verified number when your agent needs you. voice only.

  • lookup_business(name, location?, phone_number?, utc_offset_minutes?)

    finds the business, mints the dial token make_call requires.

  • make_call(dial_token, objective, caller_name, context?, behavior?, greet_first?, after_hours_confirmation?, max_duration_seconds?, wait?)

    the disclosed call, via dial token. returns OUTCOME + transcript.

  • call_number(phone_number, objective, caller_name, recipient_name?, context?, behavior?, greet_first?, utc_offset_minutes?, after_hours_confirmation?, max_duration_seconds?, wait?)

    disclosed call to a number you already have.

  • get_call(call_id)

    re-check a call by id. never dials.

  • check_call_readiness()

    preflight: auth, credits, caller ID. never dials.

every call says it's an AI. no exceptions

enforced server-side - an open npm package can't patch around them.

  • owner destination is not an input

    call_me accepts no destination - it dials the owner number verified by one real, disclosed voice-OTP call (NANP +1 numbers today). the person who answers is still not identity-verified, so replies stay untrusted data. every ordinary rail applies; local verification relaxes nothing.

  • AI disclosure, composed server-side

    every call opens with "Hi, I'm <name>'s AI assistant..." - built into the opener server-side, not a prompt suggestion. it answers truthfully if asked "are you a robot".

  • signed dial tokens

    HMAC-SHA256, account-bound, 15-minute TTL. lookup_business mints them; make_call requires them. raw numbers are rejected on the verified path.

  • business-line verification

    on the lookup path, dial tokens only mint for carrier-verified business lines.

  • per-number rate caps

    3 calls per hour, 8 per day to the same number. the rejection tells you when the window reopens.

  • do-not-call list with auto opt-out

    "stop calling" / "take me off your list" in a callee turn is detected and the number is suppressed automatically. manage it with speko dnc.

  • after-hours gate

    calls outside 08:00-21:00 destination-local require typed confirmation - the server records it but cannot attribute it to a speaker, so clients pass the human's own words, never invent them. collection-flavored calls are day-hours-only, no override.

  • no-sell, no-spam, no-impersonation

    selling, promotion, surveys, fundraising, campaigning, harassment, and pretending to be someone else are screened on objective, behavior, AND context - blocked intent can't be smuggled sideways.

  • hard number blocks

    emergency and premium-rate numbers can never be dialed. no opt-in exists.

  • honest failure states

    a call the platform never put on the wire returns not_connected - never a fake success. transcripts and outcomes are returned when captured; no result is ever invented.

they let agents spend money and dial humans blind; we report what happened, what it cost, and refuse the calls that shouldn't happen.

faq

Can my coding agent call me?

Yes. call_me rings this install's locally verified owner number and accepts no destination (verification supports NANP +1 numbers today). Replies come back as an untrusted voice transcript from an unverified speaker: a spoken CONFIRMED response after the literal read-back creates final_instruction; unconfirmed replies stay advisory. The server also places disclosed outbound business calls.

Can it text me, or call me after I stop replying?

No. Owner control is outbound voice only - no SMS or iMessage, no inbound hotline. And MCP cannot start a new model turn after the client session is idle, so call_me is not a background timer: the call happens while the run is active, and any nonterminal result must be polled with get_call before the run yields. Results stay retrievable later by call_id.

Is this legal? Do people know they are talking to an AI?

Every call opens with a non-removable AI disclosure - "Hi, I'm <your name>'s AI assistant..." - composed server-side, and it answers truthfully if asked whether it is a robot. Calls are objective-scoped and transactional; selling, spam, surveys, and impersonation are screened server-side. Personal mobiles: consenting parties only. Designed for the FCC's AI-disclosure expectations; not legal advice.

What does it cost?

Start with free call credits, no card. Usage pricing lives in the dashboard at platform.speko.dev. The published business-call demo is a real 54-second call that cost $0.11.

Which coding agents work with it?

Any stdio MCP client can run it. The init command configures each supported client it detects: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Cline, Gemini CLI, and Codex. Zed gets a paste-ready manual snippet.

What happens if nobody answers, or the call fails?

You get the truth: not_placed (account not configured), not_connected (never reached the wire), timeout (still running - poll get_call, never re-dial), or completed with connected/answered booleans. No fake successes.

Can it call any number?

No. Emergency and premium-rate numbers are never dialable. Per-number rate caps (3/hour, 8/day), a do-not-call list with automatic opt-out detection, and an 08:00-21:00 destination-local hours gate bind server-side, where they cannot be patched around.

# agentvoice

> MCP server for outbound voice calls. Coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, any MCP client) can call this install's locally verified owner number for direction, or place real, disclosed calls to businesses. Voice only: no SMS, iMessage, or inbound hotline. MCP cannot start a new model turn after the client session is idle; any nonterminal result must be polled with get_call while the run stays active. One command to install. Free call credits on signup. Full doc: https://agentvoice.to/llms-full.txt

Names: agentvoice (brand) = @spekoai/mcp-calls (npm package) = ai.speko/mcp-calls (MCP name); installs as speko-calls; keys and billing at https://platform.speko.dev (built with Speko).

## Install

- [One-line init](https://agentvoice.to/install.sh): curl -fsSL https://agentvoice.to/install.sh | sh
- [npx](https://agentvoice.to/#install): npx @spekoai/mcp-calls@latest init
- [Claude Code manual](https://agentvoice.to/#install): claude mcp add speko-calls --scope user --env SPEKO_API_KEY=sk_... --env SPEKO_CLIENT_PROFILE=claude-code -- npx -y @spekoai/mcp-calls@latest
- [Verify owner for a local setup](https://agentvoice.to/#install): set SPEKO_API_KEY in the shell first (POSIX: export SPEKO_API_KEY=sk_...; PowerShell: $env:SPEKO_API_KEY='sk_...'), then run npx -y @spekoai/mcp-calls@latest me verify. This places one real, disclosed voice-OTP call for a NANP (+1) number. Remote mode must verify on the backing-server host with SPEKO_MCP_SERVER_URL unset.
- Headless or cloud sandbox: verify once on any machine with a terminal, then run `npx -y @spekoai/mcp-calls@latest me export` and ship the printed blob to the sandbox as SPEKO_OWNER_PROFILE. `npx -y @spekoai/mcp-calls@latest selftest` proves the install with no key and no real calls.

## MCP Server

- [npm package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@spekoai/mcp-calls): @spekoai/mcp-calls (MIT licensed, stdio transport, Node >=20)
- [Source repository](https://github.com/SpekoAI/mcp-dev-calls): MIT, includes the black-box characterization suite
- [server.json](https://agentvoice.to/.well-known/mcp/server.json): MCP name ai.speko/mcp-calls, self-hosted (distinct from ai.speko/mcp, Speko's platform MCP)

## Tools

- call_me(message, mode?, context?, after_hours_confirmation?, max_duration_seconds?, wait?) - calls this install's locally verified owner number - no destination input. notify delivers a message; converse returns an untrusted voice transcript from an unverified speaker: a spoken CONFIRMED after the literal read-back creates final_instruction; unconfirmed replies stay advisory. voice only - no SMS or iMessage.
- lookup_business(name, location?, phone_number?, utc_offset_minutes?) - finds the business, carrier-verifies the line, and mints the signed dial token that make_call requires - the agent never dials a hallucinated number.
- make_call(dial_token, objective, caller_name, context?, behavior?, greet_first?, after_hours_confirmation?, max_duration_seconds?, wait?) - places the disclosed, objective-scoped call a dial token authorizes. returns the OUTCOME line and the full transcript.
- call_number(phone_number, objective, caller_name, recipient_name?, context?, behavior?, greet_first?, utc_offset_minutes?, after_hours_confirmation?, max_duration_seconds?, wait?) - disclosed call to a number you already have or found. disclosure, rate caps, the do-not-call list, and the hours gate still bind. personal mobiles: consenting parties only.
- get_call(call_id) - re-checks a call by id: status, outcome, transcript. read-only, never dials.
- check_call_readiness() - preflight: auth, credit balance, caller-ID, owner-number setup. read-only, never dials.

## Safety

- owner destination is not an input: call_me accepts no destination - it dials the owner number verified by one real, disclosed voice-OTP call (NANP +1 numbers today). the person who answers is still not identity-verified, so replies stay untrusted data. every ordinary rail applies; local verification relaxes nothing.
- AI disclosure, composed server-side: every call opens with "Hi, I'm <name>'s AI assistant..." - built into the opener server-side, not a prompt suggestion. it answers truthfully if asked "are you a robot".
- signed dial tokens: HMAC-SHA256, account-bound, 15-minute TTL. lookup_business mints them; make_call requires them. raw numbers are rejected on the verified path.
- business-line verification: on the lookup path, dial tokens only mint for carrier-verified business lines.
- per-number rate caps: 3 calls per hour, 8 per day to the same number. the rejection tells you when the window reopens.
- do-not-call list with auto opt-out: "stop calling" / "take me off your list" in a callee turn is detected and the number is suppressed automatically. manage it with speko dnc.
- after-hours gate: calls outside 08:00-21:00 destination-local require typed confirmation - the server records it but cannot attribute it to a speaker, so clients pass the human's own words, never invent them. collection-flavored calls are day-hours-only, no override.
- no-sell, no-spam, no-impersonation: selling, promotion, surveys, fundraising, campaigning, harassment, and pretending to be someone else are screened on objective, behavior, AND context - blocked intent can't be smuggled sideways.
- hard number blocks: emergency and premium-rate numbers can never be dialed. no opt-in exists.
- honest failure states: a call the platform never put on the wire returns not_connected - never a fake success. transcripts and outcomes are returned when captured; no result is ever invented.
