Odile Labs — MCP server

Odile is a hosted, paid service run by OdileUSA L.L.C. This repository holds only the MCP connector listing and instructions, not the service's source code, and is not open source.

A hosted Model Context Protocol server at https://odilelabs.com/mcp, so an agent — Claude Code, Codex, or anything else that speaks MCP — can work with Odile Labs on a person's behalf.

Before any sign-in, four tools answer:

• get_receptionist_benchmark — Odile Labs' published benchmark of AI phone receptionists: real test calls to public lines, scored against stated measures, with the evidence per measure. Run by Odile Labs, which sells two of the lines tested, and the output says so first.
• get_answering_line_offer — the After Hours answering line billed per minute: the packs, what is charged, what happens at zero, and what the owner has to do.
• get_catalog and estimate_media_job — the live Odile Formats price list, and the price of a job before anything is uploaded.

Signed in, the agent can use:

• A free test line — try_answering_line returns a shared test number and a 4-digit code; calling it reaches an AI receptionist answering as the business the agent described. Nothing is booked, sent or charged. Any signed-in account.
• After Hours answering line — set up an AI answering line for a US business, billed per minute from a prepaid pack, with no monthly fee, and read its status, calls and messages.
• Packs — a one-tap Stripe Checkout link for Odile Formats credits, meeting minutes or phone minutes. The owner pays on Stripe's own page; the connection never sees a card.
• Odile Formats — turn footage or photos into platform-ready video and images for Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.
• Meeting notes — send a note-taker to a Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams call and email the summary to the people the account owner names. These tools appear only on a deployment where Meeting notes is switched on.

The monthly After Hours plans (United States and Canada) and Dusklin, the same receptionist sold everywhere else, are still set up on the website (odilelabs.com/afterhours, dusklin.com). The per-call line is the one set up through this server, for businesses in the United States, billed per minute.

This repository is the public record of the server: what it exposes, how it authenticates, and what it costs. The service itself is closed source.

Connecting

Streamable HTTP, at https://odilelabs.com/mcp. Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http odile https://odilelabs.com/mcp

Anything else that takes a remote MCP URL works the same way. Sign-in happens in a browser on first use.

Authentication

Four tools are public; everything that touches an account is OAuth 2.1. Without a token, a client can complete the handshake, list the tools, and call get_receptionist_benchmark, get_answering_line_offer, get_catalog and estimate_media_job — constants, arithmetic and a published dataset, none of it about any account. Every other tool, and any request that carries a token (valid or not), gets the standard 401 with the discovery header the MCP specification asks for:

WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm="OAuth",
  resource_metadata="https://odilelabs.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp"

Both documents a client needs are served:

• https://odilelabs.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource
• https://odilelabs.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server

Permissions are ticked on a consent screen. The two that lead to a payment, billing:checkout (checkout links) and lines:manage (the answering line), start unticked; the owner ticks them. A connection made before they existed does not gain them: reconnect and tick them.

Nothing on this server takes a card. buy_pack and set_up_answering_line return a Stripe Checkout link, and nothing is charged until the owner pays on Stripe's page. unlock_job is the only tool that spends a balance a person already holds, and it never runs without a ceiling the owner agreed to.

The tools

Sixteen are always present. Four more appear only on a deployment with Meeting Notes enabled, so a client that sees twenty and a client that sees sixteen are both correct.

Public — no account

After Hours answering line — per minute

The line is paid for in prepaid minute packs, with no monthly fee:

Answered phone calls are billed by the second, with a 20-second minimum. Robocalls, calls from the owner's own numbers, website chats, text messages and calls whose transcript cannot be read are not charged.

At zero the line keeps answering and the balance goes below zero; the next pack pays that first. The owner is emailed at 5 minutes left, at zero, and at 10 minutes below zero, and nothing switches the line off on its own. The owner forwards their business line to the new number with their carrier's forwarding code; get_answering_line returns the codes. The greeting always says the call is recorded and that the caller is speaking with an AI. Lines set up before per-minute billing keep their answered-call packs.

The same calls are on a REST API at https://api.odilelabs.com/v1 with an API key made at odilelabs.com/developers; the OpenAPI 3.1 spec is odilelabs.com/openapi.json.

Packs

Odile Formats — video and photos

unlock_job takes an explicit max_credits the customer agreed to, and unlocking the same job twice charges once.

Meeting notes

Meeting minutes are reserved when a call is scheduled and the unused part is returned. Every minute on the call is charged, rounded up to the minute.

What it costs

Phone minutes for the answering line, credits for media, minutes for meetings, each bought in prepaid packs and quoted before anything is spent. Phone minutes are 40 for $10 and 200 for $50 ($0.25 a minute), with no monthly fee, and the test line is free. get_answering_line_offer, get_catalog and estimate_media_job are the honest way to find out what something costs without committing to it. Every price is on odilelabs.com/developers, is the same for everyone, and is read live by the server; if this file and the server ever disagree, the server is right.

Registry entry

server.json is the entry for the official MCP registry, published under the com.odilelabs namespace, which is authenticated by DNS on odilelabs.com.
