Agent setup guides
Give the agent you already use a phone line.
Twelve setup guides for popular assistants, always-on agents, and coding agents. Ten document a first-party remote-MCP path. Meta AI and DeepSeek use a compatible host or the server-side REST API.

Grok Bot and OpenAI dots keep working on your goals from their own cloud computers. Connect ClawCall once and they can finish the tasks that need a real phone call.
Phone calls from Grok Bot
Make real US phone calls from Grok Bot. Ask your Bot to add the ClawCall MCP, approve OAuth, and it reports what was said. Live-tested steps.

Give your OpenAI dot a phone: install the official ClawCall plugin once from ChatGPT’s plugin directory, then ask your dot to call a US business.

Setup belongs to the host, not only the model. Each guide covers permissions, a read-only check, automatic tool selection where the host supports it, and cited sources. The full list of 11 tools is in the docs.
ChatGPT
Set up the ChatGPT phone call plugin step by step with screenshots: install ClawCall, allow access, run a read-only check, then make calls from ChatGPT.

What a direct connection requires
A direct ClawCall connection needs remote Streamable HTTP MCP and an OAuth client that supports discovery and registration. If the host lacks that, use a supported host or the server-side REST or skill fallback. Never paste an API key into a consumer chat.

- Authentication
- OAuth + PKCE + DCR

How the twelve were selected
The list favors global reach and practical distribution. “Popular” is an editorial priority that balances disclosed adoption, independent cross-platform rankings, and whether the vendor publishes a usable integration surface. It does not claim that vendors report directly comparable global MAU figures.
Adoption evidence comes from vendor disclosures and Andreessen Horowitz’s cross-platform consumer-AI ranking. Setup claims come only from first-party product documentation. Documentation review is not labeled as live compatibility testing.
Grok Bot and OpenAI dots joined the list in October 2026 as always-on agents that can add a remote MCP server themselves or through their host’s plugins. Both were tested live; the dots guide reuses the ChatGPT plugin setup screens.

Start with a read-only check
Create a ClawCall account, connect your agent, and confirm the connection before the first call. The trial includes 30 calls and 30 minutes, whichever lasts later.
