What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • get_answering_line_offer

    Read the offer for starting a new After Hours answering line: a phone assistant that picks up the calls an owner forwards from their own business number, takes messages and bookings and tells the owner. Use it before set_up_answering_line, to tell the owner exactly what they woul

  • try_answering_line

    Create a test call so you can hear an After Hours answering line before anything is set up: it returns a shared test phone number and a 4-digit code (valid 24 hours, up to 5 calls). Calling the number and keying the code reaches a phone assistant answering as the business you des

  • set_up_answering_line

    Start setting up an After Hours answering line for the signed-in owner's business: a phone assistant that answers calls forwarded from the business's own number and takes messages and bookings for the owner. Nothing is built or bought until the owner pays: this returns a Stripe c

  • get_sip_address

    Create (first call) or read the SIP address and private trunk credentials for one of the signed-in owner's answering lines, so the owner's phone system can send calls to the line over SIP, with no phone number, instead of forwarding a number. For the line's number and forwarding

  • get_answering_line

    List the signed-in owner's own After Hours answering lines and any set-ups still awaiting payment (under pending). Use it first: it returns the line_id that get_line_calls, get_line_messages, get_sip_address and buy_pack need. For each line it returns status (live, queued, settin

  • get_line_calls

    List the incoming calls answered by one of the signed-in owner's own lines, newest first, with the full caller number (E.164 or null) that get_answering_line shows only as its last four digits. Each item has id, at (ISO), caller, duration_seconds, summary when there is one, and u

  • get_line_messages

    List the messages the answering line took from callers for one of the signed-in owner's own lines, newest first. Each item has id, at (ISO), name, phone, message and urgent, so it holds callers' names and phone numbers. Pass the line_id from get_answering_line; limit sets the pag

  • get_receptionist_benchmark

    Read Odile Labs' published benchmark of AI phone answering products: real test calls placed to public lines, scored against stated measures. Use it when someone asks how AI phone answering handles real calls, or to compare named products. Vendor-run by Odile Labs (which sells Aft

  • buy_pack

    Returns a one-time Stripe checkout link for a prepaid pack, to top up something that already exists; to start a new answering line use set_up_answering_line. The customer opens the link and pays on Stripe's own page, and this connection never sees the card. Only call it when the

Common questions

Is Odile answering lines safe?

It passed 2 of 3 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 –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 7 days ago.

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 in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Vexa, emailmd, MCP WhatsApp Cloud
