## FAQ

### Which calling MCP servers work in Claude and ChatGPT?

Any remote MCP server over streamable HTTP. CallForMe, ClawCall, and Pine are remote servers you add by URL. PhoneBooth and open-source builds can run locally.

### Which one needs the least setup?

CallForMe needs only the URL https://callforme.tel/mcp and one click on Connect. No email or form. You add a prepaid balance once, through a link your agent shows you at the first call.

### Which is cheapest?

For heavy use, ClawCall's $4.99 per month unlimited plan. Per minute, PhoneBooth at $0.07. For a few calls a month, CallForMe at $1 per answered call and nothing when unanswered.

### What should a good calling MCP server do?

Handle phone menus and hold, disclose that it's AI, let your agent answer questions mid-call, return structured results, and keep guardrails like blocked emergency numbers and opt-out lists.
