jambonz

OpenAPI 3.1 and AsyncAPI documents, an llms.txt and Markdown pages cover the REST and WebSocket APIs, and session prices are public.

Before you call either

Infobip Calls API + MCP

  1. Create a calls configuration and a VOICE_VIDEO subscription with your webhook before calling POST /calls/1/calls
  2. Use your account's own base URL, not api.infobip.com
  3. Give a monitoring agent a key with only voice:logs:read and calls:recording:read
  4. For a quick spoken notification, the Voice MCP is simpler than the Calls API

jambonz

  1. Send Authorization: Bearer <token> to https://api.jambonz.cloud/v1, the server in the OpenAPI files. The REST introduction page gives https://jambonz.cloud/api instead, so confirm the base URL with the operator
  2. Create a call with from, to and either application_sid or call_hook. Do not retry a timed-out create without checking GET /Accounts/{AccountSid}/Calls first
  3. Read ratelimit-remaining and ratelimit-reset on every response and stop when a 429 arrives
  4. Append #rc=3&rp=5xx,ct to an application URL to turn on webhook retries. HTTP webhooks are not retried by default
  5. Check the account has a carrier and speech credentials before dialling. jambonz does not supply numbers, minutes or speech services
