Use CallForMe in Kiro

By Jake Marsh · Updated Nov 2, 2026 · 1 min read

Short answer: Add a callforme entry with url https://callforme.tel/mcp to ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json, or to .kiro/settings/mcp.json in a workspace. Accept the one-time Authenticate prompt; no email or card. Kiro's agent can then plan calls and look up businesses, and shows one setup link on the first call.

Kiro supports remote MCP servers in its IDE and CLI.

Install in Kiro

Open the Kiro panel, go to MCP Servers, and click the edit icon, or edit ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "callforme": {
      "url": "https://callforme.tel/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Kiro reconnects when you save. A workspace file at .kiro/settings/mcp.json overrides the global one.

Signing in from Kiro

After you save, Kiro shows an Authenticate prompt for callforme. Accept it. A browser tab opens and closes by itself. There's no email, no form and no card. That creates your CallForMe account.

If Kiro doesn't show a Connect step

If your version of Kiro can't do OAuth sign-in, use one of these instead:

• https://callforme.tel/mcp/open needs no sign-in. Your agent gets a setup link in each new session unless it saves the account_key it receives.
• A personal URL, https://callforme.tel/mcp/k/<your key>, or "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${CALLFORME_KEY}" } (Kiro expands environment variables), using a key you create on the account page.

Your first real call in Kiro

The first time Kiro places a real call, CallForMe sends back a one-time setup link and Kiro shows it to you. Open it, check the call it describes, and add $5. Turn on auto-reload (one click right after paying) and the balance tops itself up, so you do this once. Details in how setup links work.

Try it in Kiro

Start with a free demo call. Paste this into Kiro:

Call Maple Street Pizza at (469) 770-7412 and ask how long a large pepperoni takes for pickup and what it costs. Tell me what they say.

Demo lines are fictional and free. Then swap in a business you use ($1 if answered, nothing if not):

Call Westside Auto Glass and move my windshield appointment from Tuesday to any time Thursday. Name on it is Priya Shah.
