Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

Vapi works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Vapi to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Vapi, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Vapi. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Vapi owners hand off.

This MCP is for professionals who need to bridge the gap between AI reasoning and real-world voice communication.

  • 01

    Sales Engineers

    They tell the agent to place outbound demo calls to prospects immediately.

  • 02

    Customer Support Teams

    They pull voice transcripts to summarize customer issues and action items.

  • 03

    Voice AI Developers

    They iterate on TTS voices and LLM models without leaving their code editor.

  • 04

    Operations Managers

    They audit active phone numbers and toolsets across Vapi environments.

FAQ

Questions Vapi owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I start making calls with this MCP?

    You use the create_phone_call capability by providing a phone number ID and the recipient's details.

  • 02

    Can I change the AI model used by my Vapi assistant?

    Yes, you can use the update_assistant capability to change the model or system prompt of an existing assistant.

  • 03

    Where can I find the transcripts of my calls?

    You can use the get_call_details capability to retrieve full transcripts and metrics for any specific call ID.

  • 04

    Does this work with my existing Vapi setup?

    Yes, you just need to provide your Vapi Private API Key to connect this MCP to your account.

  • 05

    Can I manage multiple assistants at once?

    You can list all your assistants using the list_assistants capability and manage them individually through the update capability.

  • 06

    Can the agent place an outbound phone call for me?

    Yes! Through the createPhoneCallTool, you can ask your agent: Initiate a phone call to +15551234567 using our 'Sales Assistant' persona. It will format the payload correctly and instruct Vapi to dial the human using the specified AI persona.

  • 07

    How can I read the transcript of an old automated voice call?

    Just tell your chat assistant: fetch the transcript details for call ID '3fbea5x...'. The getCallTool reaches into Vapi, extracts the raw audio-to-text transcript logs, and the assistant can even summarize the entire human-to-AI interaction for you.

  • 08

    Can I tweak system prompts or models sequentially in my chat editor?

    Yes, especially if you're in an IDE like Cursor. You can iterate: Update Assistant 'Agent A' to use GPT-4o and set its prompt to 'Always be highly overly enthusiastic'. The agent will use the updateAssistantTool to reconfigure the live voice persona instantly.
