Overview

Vapi MCP is a set of voice AI tools that integrate with Cursor IDE, allowing users to create and manage voice assistants and make outbound voice calls using AI technology.

To use Vapi MCP, clone the repository from GitHub, install the necessary dependencies, and configure the Cursor IDE to include the Vapi tools. Users can then interact with the voice assistants through commands in the IDE.

  • Outbound voice calling with AI assistants - Management of voice assistants with customizable voices and behaviors - Retrieval and analysis of conversation transcripts
  1. Making customer service calls using AI assistants.
  2. Creating personalized voice assistants for different applications.
  3. Analyzing conversation data for insights and improvements.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vapi-mcp-matthewdcage": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-vapi-mcp-matthewdcage"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop
