Verdicts

Infobip Calls API + MCP

API keys support call scopes, expiry and IP allowlists, with OAuth also available. US outbound calls cost about $0.067 a minute.

SignalWire Voice API

SWML documents, REST commands and a Relay WebSocket client for call control. Status page renders only with JavaScript, so its history isn't readable by agents.

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

SignalWire Voice API

  1. Send dial with a url pointing at a SWML document, then use calling.* commands on the returned call ID
  2. Don't retry a dial on a 5xx. Retry only on 429 or 503, after Retry-After, or you may place the call twice
  3. Use your own Space subdomain as the host, there is no shared API host
  4. Create a token with only the Voice scope for a calling agent
  5. Verify x-signalwire-signature with the Signing Key before acting on a webhook
