Read Spoke calls, transcripts, directory and users; manage phonebook contacts and send SMS. For admins and team leads who run their business phone system in Spoke Phone. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"spoke-phone": {
"url": "https://spoke-phone.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"spoke-phone": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://spoke-phone.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other MCP clients (Windsurf, Cline, Zed and more): add the URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser. Do not add an Authorization header: see Before you connect.
The AI lists calls from a time window with caller, direction, duration and the assigned user or team. You see who handled what and which calls went unanswered.
spokephone_list_calls spokephone_get_call
The AI finds the call and its transcript, reads both, adds the stored AI content analysis, and sums up what was said and agreed.
spokephone_list_calls spokephone_list_transcripts spokephone_get_transcript spokephone_list_call_content_analysis
The AI reads the directory and the users with their live availability, so you can see who can take a call and which team they belong to.
spokephone_list_users spokephone_list_teams spokephone_list_directory
The AI lists the locations and the users assigned to each one, together with the teams, to give an overview of your setup.
spokephone_list_locations spokephone_list_location_users spokephone_list_teams
Give a name and number. The AI saves the contact in a shared phonebook so it shows in caller ID, or removes one that is out of date.

After you confirm the recipient and the wording, the AI sends an SMS from a company number. The message shows in the Spoke conversation.

The login page asks for your OAuth 2.0 Client ID and OAuth 2.0 Client Secret.
An administrator creates the key in the Spoke account portal: Settings → Other → Developers → API key. It shows an OAuth 2.0 Client ID and Client Secret. They are used only to call the Spoke API on your behalf and to derive a private account id.
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: the login page asks for your OAuth 2.0 Client ID and OAuth 2.0 Client Secret. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
Turn on the Spoke Phone connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.

For heavy use (near Pro's limit): "plus" or "plus_yearly" — Pro+, $39/month or $390/year, unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 100,000 a month); an existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once).

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Spoke Phone. The server calls the Spoke Phone API with your own Spoke Phone access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
No. Do not use this server with protected health information (PHI). We do not sign HIPAA Business Associate Agreements (BAAs). See Terms, Health data.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your OAuth 2.0 Client ID and OAuth 2.0 Client Secret. See Before you connect for where to find them.
No. 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: the login page asks for your OAuth 2.0 Client ID and OAuth 2.0 Client Secret. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Spoke Phone API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Spoke Phone.
Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 27 Spoke Phone tools can create or change data. The other 24 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this Spoke Phone server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run spokephone_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run spokephone_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run spokephone_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with spokephone_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
