Use CallForMe in OpenClaw

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

Short answer: Install the callforme skill from https://callforme.tel/skill.md into your OpenClaw skills folder, or add the MCP server with openclaw mcp set callforme and the URL https://callforme.tel/mcp. Run openclaw mcp login callforme once to connect. The first real call returns one setup link, which OpenClaw sends you in chat.

OpenClaw runs in the background and talks to you over chat apps, which suits phone calls well: ask from your phone, get the answer back in the same thread.

Skill (recommended)

The skill teaches OpenClaw the whole call flow. Without MCP, it places calls with curl against the REST API:

mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills/callforme
curl -fsSL https://callforme.tel/skill.md -o ~/.openclaw/skills/callforme/SKILL.md

OpenClaw picks it up on the next session.

MCP server

openclaw mcp set callforme '{"url": "https://callforme.tel/mcp", "transport": "streamable-http", "auth": "oauth"}'
openclaw mcp login callforme

Signing in from OpenClaw

With the MCP server, run openclaw mcp login callforme once. A browser tab opens and closes by itself. There's no email, no form and no card. That creates your CallForMe account, and OpenClaw keeps the credentials.

With the skill alone, there's nothing to connect. OpenClaw uses curl against the REST API, and the first real call hands it an account_key. Set it as the env var CALLFORME_KEY on the machine OpenClaw runs on (or put it in a secret store) so later calls skip the link. Keep it out of OpenClaw's memory: it's a bearer key.

Other ways to connect

If you'd rather not use OAuth with the MCP server:

• 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 the header Authorization: Bearer cfm_..., using a key you create on the account page.

For a header, re-run openclaw mcp set with a "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer cfm_your_key"} field.

Your first real call in OpenClaw

The first time OpenClaw places a real call, CallForMe sends back a one-time setup link and OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw

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

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):

Wait on hold with Skyway Airlines customer service and call me at 214-555-0142 when a live agent picks up.
