Asterisk MCP Server
MCP server for Asterisk — the open-source VoIP PBX and telephony platform. Enables AI agents to manage Asterisk phone systems through the AMI (Asterisk Manager Interface): originate calls, control call routing, query channel status, manage voicemail, and interact with the PBX programmatically.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Full PBX control. Restrict AMI to localhost. AMI credentials required. Real call effects. Never expose AMI externally.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
A telecom engineer or IT team managing an Asterisk PBX wants AI agents to automate call routing, originate calls, and monitor telephony operations — reducing manual PBX management overhead.
Avoid When
You use cloud telephony platforms. Asterisk requires self-hosted PBX infrastructure and telephony expertise.
Use Cases
- • Originating calls and controlling call routing from AI telephony agents
- • Monitoring active calls and channel status from operations agents
- • Automating IVR and call queue management from customer service agents
- • Building AI-powered call center automation on Asterisk infrastructure
Not For
- • Organizations using Twilio, AWS Connect, or other cloud telephony (Asterisk-specific)
- • Teams without an Asterisk PBX deployment
- • Consumer-grade VoIP without Asterisk infrastructure
Interface
Authentication
Asterisk AMI credentials required. Configure AMI manager account in Asterisk's manager.conf with appropriate permissions.
Pricing
Asterisk is free open source (GPL). MCP server is free. Infrastructure costs for PBX hosting apply.

Known Gotchas
- ⚠ REAL TELEPHONY: Call origination creates actual phone calls — test in lab environment first
- ⚠ AMI interface varies by Asterisk version — verify compatibility with your Asterisk build
- ⚠ Asterisk AMI commands require careful understanding of dial plan — consult telephony expert
- ⚠ AMI connections should be restricted to localhost — never expose AMI port externally without TLS
