FAQ from Voice Call MCP Server
What phone number format is required?
All phone numbers must be in E.164 format (e.g., +11234567890).
What are the runtime dependencies?
Node.js >= 22, a Twilio account with API credentials, an OpenAI API key, and an ngrok authtoken are required.
Where does the call audio flow?
Audio is forwarded from Twilio to OpenAI’s realtime model and then streamed back to the destination phone through Twilio. An ngrok tunnel exposes your server publicly for Twilio webhooks.
Are there any rate limits or costs to be aware of?
Yes, be aware of your Twilio and OpenAI account’s rate limits and pricing. Call durations affect costs for both services.
How is the server secured?
Credentials are stored in environment variables. The ngrok tunnel uses a random URL protected by a random secret, but public exposure should still be considered.
