MCP Client Setup

Connect the hosted Famulor MCP server to your AI client in a few steps. The full developer endpoint supports broad platform operations, while the consumer profile for ChatGPT and Claude is limited to reading assistants and history.
  • “Create an inbound receptionist that books appointments.”
  • “Show me why my last campaign call failed.”
  • “Add three leads to my follow-up campaign and start it.”
After setup, sign in to your Famulor account in the browser and approve the displayed permissions. No API key is required for the hosted OAuth flow.

What the full developer endpoint can do

Build & refine assistants

Inbound and outbound: system prompt, voice, language, model and call behaviour. Attach knowledge bases (your documents) and mid-call tools (live API lookups during a call).

Run outbound campaigns

Create campaigns, add and manage leads, and start, pause or resume them.

Review & improve

List calls, read full transcripts and post-call evaluations, then update the assistant or its tools — a complete build → review → improve loop.

Manage your account

Knowledge bases & documents, phone numbers & SIP trunks, WhatsApp senders & templates, conversations, folders, labels, API keys and your blacklist.
Read and write are separate tools. The full endpoint includes actions that can spend balance or delete data, so use it only with a trusted developer client and review every confirmation. Integration secrets (for example auth tokens on mid-call tools) are masked in responses. The Assistant & History profile exposes none of those actions.

Server URL

Full developer endpoint: https://app.famulor.io/mcp Assistant & History profile: https://app.famulor.io/mcp?profile=assistant-history Use the restricted Assistant & History profile for ChatGPT and Claude directory or consumer-facing connections. It exposes 11 read-only tools for assistant configuration and omnichannel call, messaging, and email history. Use the full endpoint only in developer clients when you intentionally need the broader write-capable tool catalog.

Before you start

  • A Famulor account at app.famulor.io.
  • An active plan for the features you use (some actions consume call minutes or chat credits).

Quick start

  1. Add the server in your client (see ChatGPT, Claude, or other clients below).
  2. When prompted, sign in to Famulor in the browser and approve the requested permissions.
  3. Ask in natural language, e.g. “Show my last 10 calls” or “List my assistants”.
Authentication uses standard MCP OAuth 2.1 (PKCE). The hosted flow uses your normal Famulor account session and does not ask you to paste an API key. Access tokens expire after 30 days; your client will prompt you to sign in again.

ChatGPT

Famulor is available as a custom app in ChatGPT (web). You need a ChatGPT plan that supports apps/connectors and Developer mode enabled.

Add the Famulor app

  1. Open ChatGPTSettingsApps (or Connectors).
  2. Click Create app / New app.
  3. Fill in:
  1. Confirm the security notice and click Create.
  2. Sign in to Famulor and approve the requested read-only permissions.

Use Famulor in a chat

  1. Start a new chat and enable Developer mode if required.
  2. Select Famulor from the tools/apps menu in the composer.

CLI clients — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI

Add the full hosted server to a CLI agent, then sign in to Famulor in the browser when prompted:
Prefer a full onboarding agent over raw tools? Install the Famulor Skill (works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes and more): npx skills add bekservice/Famulor-Skill — see Famulor Skill.

Other clients

One-click install: Add to Cursor · Add to VS Code Global: Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP → New MCP Server (opens ~/.cursor/mcp.json) Project: create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root.
Refresh MCP in settings after saving. Sign in to Famulor in the browser when prompted.

Try it

Start a new chat with the Assistant & History profile and ask, for example:

Assistants

“List my assistants and summarize how each one is configured.”

Improve

“Read my last 5 calls and tell me what my assistant got wrong.”

Messaging

“Show the latest WhatsApp and Instagram conversations that need attention.”

Email

“Summarize the latest email thread with this customer.”
With the full developer endpoint in a trusted developer client, you can also use prompts such as:
  • “Create a German sales assistant using GPT-4.1-mini and the Susi voice”
  • “Start campaign #42 and add these 50 leads”
  • “Show me all calls today where the goal wasn’t reached”
  • “What were my last calls?”

Security & privacy

  • OAuth 2.1 with a branded consent screen — the hosted flow does not require an API key.
  • Scoped to your account — the connector can only see and change your own data.
  • Secrets masked — auth tokens stored on your tools are never returned in plain text.
  • No chat-history harvesting — the connector acts only on your Famulor resources.
  • Privacy policy: famulor.io/privacy.

Self-hosting

To run your own instance instead of the hosted server, see MCP Server — Self-hosting.

FAQ

This page covers ChatGPT, Claude, CLI agents, and other MCP clients such as Cursor or VS Code. For a full connector walkthrough with screenshots, see Claude & ChatGPT Connector.
No. The hosted MCP server uses your normal Famulor account through OAuth. API keys remain available for server-to-server REST API integrations, but they are not part of this connector flow.
The Assistant & History profile is limited to your authenticated workspace and has no write, purchase, send, call, campaign, delete, telephony, settings, or billing tools. The full developer endpoint should be used only in a trusted client with confirmations enabled.
No. The Assistant & History profile cannot place calls, send messages, start campaigns, buy phone numbers, or perform any other balance-consuming action. The full developer endpoint can.

Troubleshooting

OAuth / sign-in fails

  • Sign out of Famulor in the browser, then start the connector authorization again.
  • Try signing in again — tokens expire after 30 days.
  • For ChatGPT, ensure Developer mode is on and OAuth is selected.

Server not connecting

  • For ChatGPT/Claude, use https://app.famulor.io/mcp?profile=assistant-history. The full developer endpoint remains https://app.famulor.io/mcp.
  • Check health: https://app.famulor.io/health
  • Restart your client and refresh MCP servers (Cursor: Settings → MCP → Refresh).

Tools not appearing

  • Complete OAuth sign-in after adding the server.
  • In ChatGPT, ensure the Famulor app is selected for the current chat.
