Give Claude a phone.
Phone Bud is an MCP server, so Claude — or any MCP client — can place a real outbound call, wait for it to finish, and get back a transcript and structured data. One tool call. No telephony stack to build.

A few quick questions
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to tools. Phone Bud exposes a hosted MCP server, so any MCP-capable client can use it to place calls.
Which clients work?
Anything that speaks MCP — including Claude Desktop and Claude Code. Connect Phone Bud once and the calling tools are available in your session.
What comes back from a call?
The call's status, a full transcript, a summary, and any structured fields you asked the agent to capture — ready for your agent to act on.
Is it just single calls?
No — you can launch campaigns that dial a whole list with one objective and return per-call results, all from MCP. Here's more on how an AI can call a business for you.
Isn't this just a robocall or a scam?
No. Phone Bud isn't a mass robodialer — the AI identifies itself as an AI calling on your behalf, has a real conversation, and follows recording-consent law. You approve every call and only reach people you have a legitimate reason to contact. More on how this stays legal →
