Hello Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Himanshi Goyat- Product Marketing Manager at Exotel. At Exotel, we’re pushing the boundaries of how AI agents interact with the real world, introducing our Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server.
🚀 What is Exotel's Model Context Server?
Exotel’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server is a middleware layer that bridges AI agents with Exotel’s communication APIs. It translates high-level intents like “initiate a call” or “send SMS” into real actions on voice and messaging channels. Abstracting away API complexity, it lets AI systems execute workflows, trigger fallbacks, and automate interactions at scale, without manual orchestration.
⚙️ Why It Matters & How It Works
AI agents are only as good as the actions they can take. Exotel’s MCP Server gives them that muscle by translating natural language prompts like “initiate a call” or “fetch call status” into real actions using Exotel’s voice and messaging APIs. Instead of wrestling with telecom APIs, you simply:
Create an Exotel account
Grab API credentials from the portal
Get a virtual number
Configure the MCP server in your LLM’s settings
What Makes Exotel’s MCP Stand Out?
Action-ready AI- Turns high-level prompts into real voice and messaging actions.
Zero API hassle- Abstracts telecom complexity so agents can adapt workflows on the fly.
Enterprise-grade reliability- Built to handle large-scale, always-on customer engagement.
Voice + chat native- Optimized for omnichannel customer conversations, not just text.
Smart resilience- Supports fallback triggers, multi-step flows, and dynamic personalization.
👥 Who’s It For?
CX leaders who need scalable, AI-driven engagement across voice and chat.
Developers building agentic AI workflows without wrestling with APIs.
Enterprises running high-volume customer interactions that demand reliability.
Product teams experimenting with AI agents that can act, not just converse.
🔧Key Features
No-code API Access
Faster Time to Market
Reusable Logic Blocks
Centralized Orchestration
Infra-agnostic Deployment
Lower Engineering Overhead
🔥 Use Cases
Build a communication workflow for collections, sales, or support.
Trigger reminders, alerts, or follow-ups without manual effort.
Real-time status, delivery, and callback updates for every action.
🎁 For the Product Hunt community: we’re opening early access to MCP before it rolls out more widely. If you’d like to experiment, give feedback, or co-build use cases, drop me a line!
Excited to hear what you think and swap ideas with this community.
Cheers!

It's super cool that you’re making that AI agents can actually *do* things like triggering calls—way better than just chat. Is there any way to customize fallback flows for different use cases?

@cruise_chen Yes! The Exotel MCP server lets you use call status to drive fallbacks. If a call fails or isn’t answered, your agent can instantly trigger an SMS, switch to another call flow, or retry- so you control exactly how fallback happens depending on the use case. Would love to hear about your use case so we can help shape it better.

This is exciting! Exotel’s MCP Server feels like a real unlock for anyone building agentic AI workflows. Instead of AI being limited to just chat, now Claude (and other MCP-enabled models) can directly make and manage calls using Exotel’s APIs — retrieving call details, recordings, and more.
The potential is huge:
AI SDRs booking demos end-to-end
Automated support agents resolving queries in real time
Compliance teams getting instant alerts from live calls
Big step towards making AI not just conversational, but actionable. Curious to see what the community will build on top of this!
