# Telnyx Remote MCP

> Integrate Telnyx with Claude and other AI assistants using the hosted Telnyx Remote MCP server — no local MCP process required. Quick setup with API keys.

# Telnyx Remote Model Context Protocol (MCP)

## Remote endpoint

The canonical Telnyx API MCP endpoint is `https://api.telnyx.com/v2/mcp`.
Use this endpoint for MCP clients or scanners that need Telnyx API actions. It uses streamable HTTP and Bearer authentication with `Authorization: Bearer <TELNYX_API_KEY>`.

The [API action server card](https://telnyx.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json) describes this API endpoint. Inspect the selected endpoint schema and obtain authorization before invoking billable or state-changing actions.

For documentation search and retrieval, use `https://developers.telnyx.com/mcp`. Its [documentation server card](https://developers.telnyx.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json) describes a separate, documentation-focused service. It is not a mirror of the API action server card. Documentation search and retrieval are read-only, but the `submit_feedback` tool writes documentation feedback. Documentation retrieval does not execute Telnyx API actions; connect to `https://api.telnyx.com/v2/mcp` for those actions.
