10 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect your conversational assistant directly to Retell AI, a powerful platform for building voice-driven conversational agents. Empower your AI to orchestrate, analyze, and automate phone calls or web-based voice interactions seamlessly via simple text commands. From provisioning intelligent voice agents to placing outbound calls to customers, this integration brings the full telecommunication stack directly to your chat interface.

What you can do

  • Automate Phone Calls — Command your assistant to initiate outbound voice interactions on your behalf (create_phone_call) or register active sessions for web browser integration (register_web_call).
  • Build and Manage Voice Agents — Dynamically orchestrate AI agent personalities (create_agent, update_agent) and configure their underlying conversational brain (create_llm) with specific system instructions and models.
  • Analyze Telemetry — Keep track of your infrastructure by querying historical call logs (list_calls), investigating specific conversations for transcripts and sentiment analysis (get_call_details), surveying available text-to-speech voices (list_voices), and reviewing provisioned communication lines (list_phone_numbers and list_agents).

How it works

  1. Install the Retell extension module within your MCP environment.
  2. Obtain your Retell API Key from your official provider account and securely input it into the designated authentication parameter below.
  3. Simply chat with your assistant: "Review all my available voices, create a new AI voice agent configured as a customer support representative, and initiate a test phone call to my personal number."

Who is this for?

  • Founders & Operators — Spin up autonomous voice-driven receptionists or support bots to interact with inbound or outbound telecommunication traffic efficiently.
  • Developers & Integrators — Manage Retell AI configurations and rapidly prototype voice applications without using Postman or coding custom administration panels.
  • Workflow Orchestrators — Chain natural language instructions to dynamically assess previous call transcripts and adjust an active agent's system prompt accordingly.

Can you show me the transcripts for call ID `c_f3a123`?

I accessed the tool `get_call_details` probing for the unique identifier `c_f3a123`. The call lasted 4 minutes and the sentiment analysis registered as 'positive'. Below is the full transcript of the conversation generated by Retell!

List all available agents I can use.

I sent a request evaluating all active profiles using `list_agents`. I discovered 3 agents in your account, including your 'Support Bot' (ID: agent_1), 'Sales Executive', and 'Reception Voice'. Let me know if you would like me to modify any of their instructions using `update_agent`.

We are testing out new numbers. Please use 'from_number' `+18005551234` and dial `+14085551234` assigning my 'agent_555'.

Done. I engaged `create_phone_call` injecting your JSON settings to ring out! Retell processing is initiated. Monitor your active calls using `list_calls` to see when it connects and check its metrics after completion.

Retell AI is designed to integrate seamlessly into telephony workflows but generally focuses on the conversational agent side. They provide features to list and attach numbers (`list_phone_numbers`), but you often purchase those numbers or link a custom SIP trunk through Retell accounts. You can run `list_phone_numbers` to see your currently available direct lines.
