What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 14, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • rinkel_list_calls

    List call detail records (inbound and outbound calls) with date, direction, status (ANSWERED, MISSED, VOICEMAIL, ANSWERING_SERVICE), duration, external and internal number, the users involved, notes, and (when the account has Rinkel AI insights) the AI summary and sentiment. Use

  • rinkel_get_call

    Get one call detail record by its Rinkel id (the `id` field of rinkel_list_calls): numbers, users, status, duration, notes, voicemail and call-recording ids, AI insights. Rinkel API: GET /call-detail-records/{id}.

  • rinkel_get_call_by_network_id

    Get one call detail record by its network `callId` (the id Rinkel sends in webhook events), optionally with insights and notes. Rinkel API: GET /call-detail-records/by-call-id/{callId}.

  • rinkel_get_call_transcription

    Get the raw transcription of a call by its network `callId` (needs Rinkel AI insights on the account; 404 when the call has none). Rinkel API: GET /call-detail-records/by-call-id/{callId}/transcription.

  • rinkel_get_call_recording_url

    Get a temporary URL (valid 3 hours) to stream or download a call recording. The id is `callRecording.id` of a call record. Append `download` as a query parameter to the URL to download instead of stream. Rinkel API: GET /call-recordings/{id}/stream.

  • rinkel_list_voicemails

    List voicemail messages (call records with status VOICEMAIL): caller, date, duration, whether new, and the voicemail id. Newest first. With is_new=true Rinkel ignores every other filter and returns only unplayed voicemails. Rinkel API: GET /voicemails.

  • rinkel_count_new_voicemails

    Number of voicemails that have not been played yet. Rinkel API: GET /voicemails/new-count.

  • rinkel_get_voicemail_url

    Get a temporary URL (valid 3 hours) to stream or download a voicemail. The id is `voicemail.id` of a call or voicemail record. Rinkel API: GET /voicemails/{id}/stream.

  • rinkel_list_contacts

    List the contacts shared with everyone in the account (plus the Rinkel system contact, tag 'system'): names, company, phone numbers, email. Rinkel API: GET /contacts.

  • rinkel_get_contact

    Get one contact by id. Rinkel API: GET /contacts/{id}.

  • rinkel_find_contact_by_number

    Find the contact that owns a phone number (E.164 such as +31612345678 works best). 404 when there is none. Rinkel API: GET /contacts/find-by-number/{number}.

  • rinkel_list_users

    List the account's users: name, email, phone number, role (ADMIN, USER, ANSWERINGSERVICE), availability schedule and status, and `fixed`/device info (`deviceId` is needed to start a call). Rinkel API: GET /users.

  • rinkel_get_user

    Get one user by id, including preferences, notification settings, schedule and `deviceId`. Rinkel API: GET /users/{id}.

  • rinkel_list_numbers

    List the account's Rinkel phone numbers: id, label, number, status (ACTIVE, SUSPENDED, PENDING_PORTING_IN ...), activation date and the users assigned. Rinkel API: GET /numbers.

  • rinkel_get_number

    Get one Rinkel number with its full dial plan: greeting, business hours schedule, call forwarding targets and ring logic, voice menu, call recording and caller-id settings. Rinkel API: GET /numbers/{id}.

  • rinkel_list_recordings

    List the uploaded audio recordings used in the dial plan (greetings, announcements, voice-over scripts): name, description, duration and where each is used. Not call recordings. Rinkel API: GET /recordings.

  • rinkel_list_webhooks

    List the webhook subscriptions (events incomingCall, outgoingCall, callStart, callEnd, callInsights) with URL and active flag. Webhooks need the Expert plan. Rinkel API: GET /webhooks.

  • rinkel_validate_phone_number

    Check a phone number for a country and return its normalised form. With check_inventory=true Rinkel also checks whether the number is available to order. Rinkel API: GET /misc/validate-phone-number.

  • rinkel_add_call_note

    WRITE: add a note to a call record (visible to everyone in the account who sees the call). The id is the call record's `id`; if Rinkel answers 404, retry with the record's `callId`. Rinkel API: PUT /call-detail-records/{callId}/note.

  • rinkel_update_call_note

    WRITE: replace the text of an existing note on a call record (the note id is in `notes[].id` of the call record). Rinkel API: PATCH /call-detail-records/{callId}/note/{noteId}.

  • rinkel_delete_call_note

    WRITE, irreversible: delete one note from a call record. Needs confirm=true after the user approved it. Rinkel API: DELETE /call-detail-records/{callId}/note/{noteId}.

  • rinkel_create_contact

    WRITE: create a contact. It is shared with everyone in the Rinkel account (all users see it and calls from its numbers show its name). Rinkel API: POST /contacts.

  • rinkel_update_contact

    WRITE: update a contact (PUT semantics). `numbers` is required and REPLACES all stored numbers, and an omitted default_outbound_number_id CLEARS it; omitted names, company and email keep their stored value. Read the contact first (rinkel_get_contact) and resend what must stay. Th

  • rinkel_delete_contact

    WRITE, irreversible: delete a contact for the whole account. Needs confirm=true after the user approved it. The Rinkel system contact cannot be deleted. Rinkel API: DELETE /contacts/{id}.

  • rinkel_block_number

    WRITE: block a number from calling ANY of the account's numbers. Accepts an E.164 number, 'anonymous', or a prefix wildcard such as '+31*' (a wildcard must end the value and include a country code; a broad wildcard blocks every caller from that country). Undo with rinkel_unblock_

  • rinkel_unblock_number

    WRITE: remove a number (or the same wildcard pattern that was blocked) from the block list so it can call again. Rinkel API: DELETE /privacy/unblock-number.

  • rinkel_start_call

    WRITE, COSTS CALL MINUTES: starts a real phone call. Rinkel rings the given user device first and, once it is answered, dials `to` using the chosen Rinkel number as caller id, so call charges apply to the account and the person called sees the number. Needs confirm=true, set only

Common questions

Is Rinkel MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (1.18.1) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

Live endpoint: https://rinkel.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/rinkel

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://rinkel.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http rinkel https://rinkel.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "rinkel": { "url": "https://rinkel.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Rinkel credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/rinkel/

On first connect you'll paste your Rinkel API key (create it in My Rinkel > Settings > Integrations; API access needs the Professional or Expert plan).
