Bring Voice Ai
to OpenAI Agents SDK
Learn how to connect Retell AI to OpenAI Agents SDK and start using 11 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Retell AI MCP Server?
Connect your Retell AI account to any AI agent and take full control of your conversational voice orchestration through natural conversation. Retell AI provides a premier platform for building human-like voice agents, and this integration allows you to create agents, initiate phone or web calls, and monitor LLM configurations directly from your chat interface.
What you can do
- Agent & Persona Orchestration — List all managed voice agents and retrieve detailed persona metadata, including creating new agents programmatically.
- Call Lifecycle Management — Initiate and monitor real-time phone or web calls and retrieve detailed call metadata including recordings and transcripts directly from the AI interface.
- LLM & Brain Control — Access and monitor your Retell LLM configurations to ensure your agents always have the correct logic and knowledge via natural language.
- Phone Number Intelligence — List available phone numbers to maintain a clear overview of your telephony infrastructure.
- Operational Monitoring — Track system responses and manage agent settings using simple AI commands to ensure your voice operations are always optimized.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Retell AI API Key from your dashboard settings
3. Start managing your voice agents from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual call logs or complex agent configuration. Your AI acts as a dedicated voice operations manager or AI lead.
Who is this for?
- AI Developers & Product Managers — quickly retrieve call details and monitor agent performance without switching apps.
- Customer Support Operations — automate the management of voice personas and track call history via natural conversation.
- Operations Teams — streamline the retrieval of agent metadata and monitor organizational voice health directly within the chat.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically create a new phone call to a customer using a specific agent?
Yes! Use the create_phone_call tool. Provide the destination phone number and the agent_id, and your agent will trigger the outbound AI voice call instantly.
How do I list all my available Retell voice agents?
Simply ask the agent to run the list_agents action. It will retrieve the full catalog of voice agents configured in your Retell AI account.
How do I find my Retell AI API Key?
Log in to your Retell AI dashboard, navigate to Settings > API Keys, and you will find your unique secret API key there.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
