Before you call either
Infobip Calls API + MCP
- Create a calls configuration and a VOICE_VIDEO subscription with your webhook before calling POST /calls/1/calls
- Use your account's own base URL, not api.infobip.com
- Give a monitoring agent a key with only
voice:logs:readandcalls:recording:read - For a quick spoken notification, the Voice MCP is simpler than the Calls API
Sinch Voice API + MCP
- Start new work on Voice API v2 at voice.api.sinch.com. v1 is the older callout model
- Send an Idempotency-Key (a UUID v4) on v2 call, batch and service writes, and reuse it when you retry within 10 minutes
- Use the MCP tts-callout tool for one-off spoken notifications, and the REST API for anything that streams audio
- Trial accounts dial verified numbers only, one call at a time, so verify the test handset first
- Verify the webhook signature and deduplicate on
ce-idandce-source, since fallback delivery can repeat events
