Before you connect
Questions about TeleSign.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does TeleSign MCP help prevent bots?
It provides a risk score for every phone number. Your AI agent can use these scores to automatically block high-risk numbers during the sign-up process, keeping your platform clean from bots.
Can I send voice calls for verification?
Yes, the Connector supports automated voice calls. This is a great fallback for users who do not receive SMS messages or prefer voice authentication.
How do I know if a phone number is active?
You can check the deactivation status of any number. This ensures you aren't wasting credits on dead numbers and helps maintain high delivery rates.
What kind of phone data can I get?
The Connector can identify the carrier, the line type (like mobile or landline), and the general location of the phone number.
Can this handle high-volume SMS?
Yes, it connects to TeleSign's enterprise-grade infrastructure, making it suitable for high-volume verification needs.
How does the fraud scoring work?
It analyzes the phone number against known risk patterns to generate a score. Your agent can then use this score to decide whether to allow or block a registration.
Can I use push notifications instead of SMS?
Yes, you can send push-based verification. This is a great way to offer a modern authentication experience for users who already have the app installed.
Can my AI send and verify OTP codes?
Yes. send_verification sends the code, then check_verification validates the user's response.
Can I check fraud risk for a phone number?
Yes. score_phone returns a fraud risk score based on carrier intelligence and historical data.
Can I identify if a number is mobile or landline?
Yes. get_phone_type returns whether the number is mobile, landline, VoIP, or toll-free.
