Hot lead. Wants a quote this week, budget fits. I replied with your Thursday 2pm slot and logged it.
Built-in MCP server: one endpoint, a copy-paste config, no middleware
Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any Model Context Protocol client
Eleven tools: contacts, conversations, search, send, and a workspace summary
Scope-gated: a read-only key produces a genuinely read-only assistant

ONE ENDPOINT

The phone line your AI can plug into.

MCP is the open standard assistants use to reach real tools. One endpoint sits between your AI and your Ody line, so a single pasted config wires the two together. No middleware, no custom connectors, no glue code.

SCOPED BY DESIGN

Permissions that hold.

Every MCP tool is gated by the same scope its REST endpoint uses. If the key can’t send messages, the send tool simply isn’t offered to the assistant. There’s nothing to jailbreak. Everything runs as the member who created the key, in that workspace only.

Better with your stack

ChatGPT can drive Ody. Astra can drive your other tools.

MCP lets Claude or ChatGPT search contacts, read threads, and send texts. Connected integrations are how Astra files a ticket, posts to Slack, or creates a Close lead while she's still on the line.

Never miss another customer.

Port your number, train your agent in minutes, and put your line on autopilot. Or keep the AI off entirely. Your call.
