      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@abhaybabbar/retellai-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "RETELL_API_KEY": "<your_retellai_token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting: "No tools available"

If Claude Desktop shows the server but no tools, upgrade to the latest package version:

bash
npx -y @abhaybabbar/retellai-mcp-server@latest

This issue is typically caused by dependency/version mismatch in older installs.

Example use cases:

  1. List all the numbers I have in retellai
  2. List all the agents I have
  3. Tell me more about pizza delivery agent
  4. Creating agent and calling example:
    1. Create an agent that calls my local pizza shop, make sure to keep the conversation short and to the point.
    2. Order a margeritta pizza
    3. Payment will be done by cash on delivery
    4. Send it to
    5. The agent should pretend to be me. My name is <your_name>
    6. Make an outbound call to my local pizza shop at <phone_number>, using the usa number

Repo Setup

  1. Install dependencies:

    bash
    npm i
  2. Create a .env file with your RetellAI API key:

    RETELL_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
  3. Run the server:

    bash
    node src/retell/index.js

  1. Open TypingMind in your browser.
  2. Click the Settings icon.
  3. Go to Advanced Settings.
  4. Open the Model Context Protocol section.
  5. Click Setup Connector and choose This Device.
