Before you connect
Questions about Retell AI.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the Retell AI MCP make outbound phone calls automatically?
Yes. It allows your AI to initiate outbound calls to specific numbers using your configured phone lines and voice agents.
How do I get transcripts from my calls using Retell AI?
The Connector can pull the full text of past conversations along with a sentiment analysis score, which you can use to track customer feedback.
Can I change the voice of my Retell AI agent?
You can browse all available text-to-speech voices and update your agent's settings to use the one that best fits your brand.
Does Retell AI MCP support web-based voice interactions?
Yes, it includes a capability to register web calls, which allows your agent to work within browser-based voice applications.
Can I manage multiple phone numbers with Retell AI?
You can list and manage all the phone numbers associated with your account directly through the chat interface.
Is Retell AI MCP good for customer support?
It's ideal for support because it lets you build specialized bots that can handle high volumes of calls and provide consistent, human-like responses.
Does Retell handle the telephone lines, or do I need my own Twilio/carrier?
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.
How do I create an outbound call programmatically with my assistant?
Simply ask your assistant to "Call X using my Y agent." Behind the scenes, the AI relies on the create_phone_call capability, transmitting a JSON payload supplying the from_number (a Retell registered phone number), to_number (destination), and an override_agent_id parameter to assign your voice agent correctly.
Can the AI initiate voice calls in a web browser instead of over the phone?
Yes. Use the register_web_call capability to create a browser-based voice session. This returns a connection URL and access token that your frontend application can use to start a real-time WebRTC conversation with a Retell voice agent, without requiring any phone line.
