DeepSeek phone-call integration guide
DeepSeek and ClawCall: compatibility and safe fallbacks
Do not try to add ClawCall to the DeepSeek model API as if the model were an MCP host. Run DeepSeek in a compatible coding agent that supports remote Streamable HTTP MCP and OAuth, then follow that host's ClawCall guide; or call ClawCall's REST API from your own server-side agent runtime.
Setup is based on the cited first-party host documentation; exact ClawCall compatibility is not claimed as live-tested.
Compatible OAuth host or server-side REST APIBefore you start
DeepSeek is included because independent global rankings show unusually broad cross-regional adoption. Its public API documentation does not establish a first-party arbitrary hosted-MCP client, so the guide focuses on the host/model distinction.
- A DeepSeek account or workspace where Use DeepSeek inside a compatible host or custom runtime is available.
- A ClawCall account or, for a documented fallback, a trusted server-side runtime.
- A real US destination in +1 E.164 format for any call you choose to place.
- A clear, user-directed task with destination and decision boundaries specified before a real call.
Use ClawCall safely with DeepSeek
These steps use the cited host documentation. Screenshots appear only where the signed-in flow was live-verified; text and commands remain the complete guide.
Identify the host around DeepSeek
Name the application actually running the model—Cursor, a coding agent, or your own server. That host owns tool configuration and approvals.
Prefer a compatible OAuth host
If the host supports remote Streamable HTTP MCP and OAuth discovery/DCR, add ClawCall there using the relevant dedicated guide.
Do not add MCP fields to the model API
DeepSeek's model endpoint and ClawCall's MCP endpoint serve different protocols. Do not paste the ClawCall URL into a model base-URL field.
Use REST for a custom runtime
From a trusted backend, call ClawCall's REST API with a server-side API key. Never ship the key in browser or mobile code.
Implement the full workflow
Read the calling guide, start one user-directed call, retain call_id, poll until finalized, and read the transcript before claiming success.
Apply permissions at the real host
On a compatible host, follow ClawCall's official Always allow/Allow all recommendation after reviewing all tools. In custom code, enforce equivalent allowlists and user authorization.
Run a controlled first call
Check balance, call a number you control, and verify lifecycle, outcome, and transcript separately.
Authentication and tool permissions
OAuth belongs to the compatible host. A custom REST runtime instead uses a server-side ClawCall API key. Never paste that key into a consumer chat, prompt, client bundle, or public repository.
If you use a compatible MCP host: Always allow all ClawCall tools
Set all ClawCall tools to Always allow/Allow all in the compatible host that runs DeepSeek. If you built the runtime, model the same trust explicitly with a server-side tool allowlist and authenticated users; the DeepSeek model itself does not own that setting.
A server-side REST runtime has no host approval toggle. Restrict the API key and authorize users in your own backend.
A custom model runtime can execute tool calls without a consumer-host confirmation layer. Validate tool arguments server-side, restrict destinations and users, and keep every call tied to an explicit user request.
Always allow removes repetitive host prompts; it does not expand OAuth scopes, bypass host or organization policy, authorize spam or robocalls, increase service limits, or turn ClawCall into a bulk campaign tool.
Server-side REST fallback
These commands run in a trusted backend—not in a consumer prompt, browser bundle, or model base-URL field. Keep the API key in an environment secret.
curl https://api.clawcall.dev/balance \
-H 'X-Api-Key: clawcall_sk_...'curl -X POST https://api.clawcall.dev/call \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'X-Api-Key: clawcall_sk_...' \
-d '{"to":"+1XXXXXXXXXX","task":"Call my phone and say this is a controlled test"}'What the fallback runtime must implement
- Authenticate the user and keep the ClawCall key server-side.
- Start one explicit, user-directed call and retain the returned
call_id. - Poll
GET /call/:iduntil lifecycle is finalized. - Read the complete transcript before reporting task success.
Troubleshooting
The consumer app has no custom MCP setting
That is expected for this fallback-only path. Use a compatible host from the guide index or a trusted server-side REST runtime.
The REST request returns 401
Keep the ClawCall API key in the server environment and send it in X-Api-Key. Never paste it into a consumer prompt or ship it in browser code.
The REST request returns an invalid phone error
Use a real US number in +1 E.164 format: +1 followed by ten digits.
The call is still running
Save call_id and poll GET /call/:id until lifecycle is finalized. A client timeout is not itself a call failure.
The model claims success too early
Require the runtime to retrieve and read the complete transcript before reporting that the real-world task succeeded.
Disconnect and revoke access
DeepSeek and ClawCall FAQ
- Can I connect ClawCall directly to DeepSeek?
- Not through a first-party consumer hosted-MCP path established in the cited documentation. Use a compatible host or a trusted server-side REST runtime.
- Where does ClawCall's Always allow recommendation apply?
- It applies in the compatible MCP host that actually owns tool approvals. A custom REST runtime has no host toggle and must enforce equivalent server-side authorization.
- Does a successful network outcome prove the task succeeded?
- No. Poll the call, then read the full transcript before claiming the real-world task was completed.
- How do I revoke fallback access?
- Disconnect ClawCall in the compatible OAuth host, or rotate/revoke the API key used by the server-side REST runtime.
