Below: how it works, the setup in claude.ai, Claude Desktop, the Claude mobile apps and Claude Code, what to ask, what happens on the call, and what it cannot do yet.
1. How Claude Makes a Call With UIRIX
- You ask Claude. For example: "Call the garage and ask whether my car will be ready by Friday."
- Claude checks with you. It is instructed to repeat the number, the task and the timing and to wait for your yes.
- Your assistant calls. Your UIRIX personal agent dials from its own number and talks with the person who answers.
- You read the result. Ask in the same chat how it went, and Claude shows what was agreed.
Because the call comes from your assistant, the caller ID people see is your assistant's number, not yours. The same assistant can also answer calls to that number and take messages, and Claude can tell you who called.
2. How to Set It Up
- Create a Personal AI Agent. Sign up at UIRIX. In the dashboard choose Create agent, then Personal AI Agent. It needs no website and is ready in seconds.
- Give it a phone number. On the agent page choose Get Number. A saved payment card is required, and any monthly price is shown before you confirm.
- Add UIRIX to Claude. Use the one-click link, which opens Claude's Add custom connector dialog with the name and URL filled in. Or, in claude.ai, open Customize, then Connectors, choose Add custom connector, name it UIRIX and paste
https://dashboard.uirix.com/api/ext/v1/mcp. Leave the OAuth fields empty (if the dialog asks about the OAuth client, choose Register automatically) and select Add. - Sign in and switch on Outbound calls. Sign in to UIRIX. On the permission screen, switch on Outbound calls: it is off by default, and without it your assistant cannot place calls.
- Ask. In a chat, check that UIRIX is on under + and Connectors, then type "uirix" and choose your personal agent, or just say what you need.
Plans and apps:
- Claude plans. As of October 2026, Anthropic says custom connectors work on the Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans, and the Free plan allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner adds UIRIX under Organization settings, Connectors, and each member then connects it under Customize, Connectors.
- Claude Desktop and the mobile apps. A connector you add on claude.ai is also available in Claude Desktop and in the Claude apps for iOS and Android the next time you sign in. In Claude Desktop you can also add it yourself under Customize, Connectors.
- Claude Code. Run
claude mcp add --transport http uirix https://dashboard.uirix.com/api/ext/v1/mcp, then type /mcp in Claude Code and finish the sign-in in your browser. If Claude Code is signed in with your claude.ai account, a connector you added on claude.ai shows up there too.
3. What You Can Ask Claude to Do
- "Call Luigi's and book a table for 4 at 7pm Saturday under Cohen. If they're full, find out what times they have and get back to me."
- "Call the garage and ask if my car is ready."
- "Call these three tile guys, ask what they'd charge to regrout my shower and how soon they could start, and put the answers in a table."
- "Call the hotel and ask for a late checkout tomorrow."
- "Call Rosa's Cantina and ask if anyone turned in a black jacket last night."
- "Who called me today? List the calls I need to return and what each one wanted."
Your assistant cannot check with you in the middle of a call, so if Luigi's is full, booking another time is a second call and a second yes. One yes can cover a quick comparison of up to three businesses for the same errand, with every number shown to you first. Say "call my dentist" or "call Dana" and it looks them up among the people and businesses it already knows; for a new business, give Claude the number or let it look one up, and you see the number before it calls. More ideas: what to ask your AI phone assistant.
4. What Happens on the Call
A call goes out right away unless you give a time or a window of hours, and a window follows the local time of the number being called. If nobody answers or the line is busy, it can try again, up to three calls in all, at least 30 minutes apart, and only inside a window you set. If it reaches voicemail, it is instructed to leave one short message: who it is, who it is calling for, why, and the number to call back.
Ask it to get someone on the line and it calls them, checks it reached the right person, and asks if it may put them through. On a yes your phone rings and you are connected. It connects only the person you named, not a receptionist, a voicemail or a phone menu, and your own part of a connected call is billed too.
When the call ends, ask Claude in the same chat how it went. Claude does not notify you by itself, so stay in the chat or set up a scheduled task.
5. What It Cannot Do Yet
- No phone menus or hold. It cannot press keys or wait on hold. Silence, hold music or repeated hold messages usually end the call within the first minute or two, so big companies such as banks, cable companies, airlines and insurers are not a good fit yet.
- No business search of its own. It finds the people and businesses it already knows; for a new one, you or Claude supply the number.
- No front desks. When it connects you, it puts through only the person you named.
- No payments. It is not meant to pay for anything, and your profile refuses card numbers. Never put passwords, PINs or card numbers in a task.
- No recurring calls on its own. Each errand needs your yes.
- Not for emergencies. Call emergency services yourself.
- Short calls. A call lasts at most 10 minutes.
6. Other Ways to Add Phone Calls to Claude
Quick answers
Can Claude call a restaurant for me?
Yes, with the UIRIX connector and a personal agent that has a phone number. Type something like "Call Luigi's and book a table for 4 at 7pm Saturday. If they're full, ask what times they have." Claude is instructed to repeat the details and get your yes, and then your assistant makes the call. More in AI that calls restaurants for you.
Does Claude call from my number?
No. Calls go out from your UIRIX personal agent's own number, so that is the caller ID people see. You get the number in the UIRIX dashboard, from countries such as the US, Canada, the UK and Israel, subject to availability.
Will Claude call someone without asking me?
Claude is instructed to repeat the number, the task and the timing and to get your yes first, and the UIRIX connector refuses a call that is not marked as approved. One yes can cover up to three businesses for the same errand, with every number shown to you first.
Can Claude tell me who called me?
Yes, for calls that reach your assistant's number, for example when you forward your mobile to it. Ask "Who called me today?" and Claude lists who called and what they wanted, from the call summaries. It can look back over the last 30 days.
Is UIRIX in the Claude connectors directory?
Not yet. UIRIX was submitted to Anthropic's connectors directory in October 2026 and is not listed yet. You can add it today as a custom connector: in claude.ai open Customize, then Connectors, choose Add custom connector and paste https://dashboard.uirix.com/api/ext/v1/mcp.
How much does it cost to have Claude make a call?
Each call is billed by the AI voice usage it takes, plus a short summary. Pay as you go starts at $10 a month for up to five agents, and that fee counts toward your usage; calls beyond it are paid from a prepaid wallet, which your first payment funds with $100. Getting a phone number requires a saved payment card. See pricing.
