# Telnyx Remote MCP

> Integrate Telnyx with Claude and other AI assistants using the hosted Telnyx Remote MCP server — no local MCP process required. Quick setup with API keys.

# Telnyx Remote Model Context Protocol (MCP)

## Remote endpoint

The canonical Telnyx API MCP endpoint is `https://api.telnyx.com/v2/mcp`.
Use this endpoint for MCP clients or scanners that need Telnyx API actions. It uses streamable HTTP and Bearer authentication with `Authorization: Bearer <TELNYX_API_KEY>`.

The canonical MCP server card is published at `https://telnyx.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json`. The `developers.telnyx.com` server card is a secondary discovery mirror for the documentation site and points back to that canonical card.

`https://developers.telnyx.com/mcp` and other `developers.telnyx.com` MCP discovery paths may expose documentation/search MCP capabilities. Do not treat those docs endpoints as the API action MCP; API actions should connect to `https://api.telnyx.com/v2/mcp`.
