Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
CallMeMCP Tools (6)
setup
Return first-setup instructions and a clickable App Store download link when no number is available.
call
Ring the human's iPhone, read `question` aloud word for word, and return
what they say back. It does not have to be a question: an update or a
summary of the day ahead works too, up to 2000 characters (about two
minutes of speech). Waits up to ~30s; if the result comes back status
"ringing" or "in_call", follow up with poll_result. On a local client, read `to` from
`~/.aiphone/config.json` → `user_number`; this hosted server cannot read
that file itself. It is a Call Me app number, not a regular phone number.
If missing, returns setup_required with the App Store link. Pass a previous
session_token to stay in the same thread on their phone.
poll_result
Check on a call that was still ringing or in progress. Waits up to ~25s
for it to settle; returns the final status and transcript once the call
ends, the human declines, or the ring times out ("missed").
text
Send a one-way text to the human's phone (push notification, no ring).
On a local client, read `to` from `~/.aiphone/config.json` → `user_number`;
this hosted server cannot read that file itself. If missing, returns
setup_required with the App Store link. Pass a previous session_token to
stay in the same thread.
