The Vapi Model Context Protocol server allows you to integrate with Vapi APIs through function calling.

Claude Desktop Setup

  1. Open Claude Desktop and press CMD + , to go to Settings.
  2. Click on the Developer tab.
  3. Click on the Edit Config button.
  4. This will open the claude_desktop_config.json file in your file explorer.
  5. Get your Vapi API key from the Vapi dashboard (https://dashboard.vapi.ai/org/api-keys).
  6. Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json file. See here for more details.
  7. Restart the Claude Desktop after editing the config file.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vapi-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
          "-y",
          "@vapi-ai/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "VAPI_TOKEN": "<your_vapi_token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Example Usage with Claude Desktop

  1. Create or import a phone number using the Vapi dashboard (https://dashboard.vapi.ai/phone-numbers).
  2. Create a new assistant using the existing 'Appointment Scheduler' template in the Vapi dashboard (https://dashboard.vapi.ai/assistants).
  3. Make sure to configure Claude Desktop to use the Vapi MCP server and restart the Claude Desktop app.
  4. Ask Claude with the following message:
I wanna schedule an appointment, can you connect me with Riley assistant using my phone number +1234567890?

Remote SSE Connection

To connect to Vapi's MCP server via Server-Sent Events (SSE) Transport:

  • Connect to https://mcp.vapi.ai/sse from any MCP client using SSE Transport
  • Include your Vapi API key as a bearer token in the request headers
  • Example header: Authorization: Bearer your_vapi_api_key_here

This connection allows you to access Vapi's functionality remotely without running a local server.

Development

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the server
npm run build

Update your claude_desktop_config.json to use the local server.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vapi-local": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "<path_to_vapi_mcp_server>/dist/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "VAPI_TOKEN": "<your_vapi_token>"
      }
    },
  }
}

Testing

The project has two types of tests:

Unit Tests

Unit tests use mocks to test the MCP server without making actual API calls to Vapi.

# Run unit tests
npm run test:unit
End-to-End Tests

E2E tests run the full MCP server with actual API calls to Vapi.

# Set your Vapi API token
export VAPI_TOKEN=your_token_here

# Run E2E tests
npm run test:e2e

Note: E2E tests require a valid Vapi API token to be set in the environment.

Running All Tests

To run all tests at once:

npm test
