My agent finally has a phone number and I made the infra Opensource.

Summary

The author built and open-sourced a telephony layer for AI agents, enabling them to make calls and send texts via a REST API and MCP server, designed to work with frameworks like OpenClaw, Hermes, LangChain, and Claude Code.

been messing around with OpenClaw for a few weeks and kept hitting the same annoying wall. my agent could do basically anything except actually call or text someone. every time I tried to bolt on Twilio directly it turned into a whole afternoon of auth headers and webhook config just to send one SMS. ended up building my own little telephony layer for this instead of doing the Twilio thing again. it's open source (GitHub link ), so you can spin it up yourself with your own keys, or there's a hosted version if you don't want to deal with self-hosting. it's framework-agnostic since it's just a REST API and MCP server under the hood, so it plugs into whatever you're building with. I've used it with OpenClaw, but people have hooked it up to Hermes, LangChain agents, even Claude Code and Codex. wrote a small OpenClaw-specific skill too, so for that one you just tell your agent to read the setup doc and it configures itself. now my agent can actually pick up the phone and call people, which honestly still feels a little unreal to watch happen. anyone else building stuff that needs real phone numbers? curious what use cases people have for this, feels like a pretty unsolved corner of the agent tooling space.
