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.
Vonage Voice API + MCP
Websocket audio as 16-bit linear PCM at 8, 16 or 24 kHz, both directions. First call needs an application, a private key and a signed JWT.
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
Vonage Voice API + MCP
- Generate a short-lived JWT with an ACL limited to the call paths the agent needs, and keep the private key out of prompts
- Use a
connectaction with a websocket endpoint andaudio/l16;rate=16000for speech models - Keep the api.nexmo.com hostname, Vonage's llms.txt says not to swap it
- Enable signed webhooks and verify the HS256 JWT on each event
- Expect RFC 7807 errors (
type,title,detail,instance) and back off on a throttling error, since no Voice rate limit is published
