Available tools 73

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

upsert

upsert_hours

Creates or edits a timezone-aware opening-hours schedule and optionally attaches it to an AI receptionist. Informational receptionist hours do not change DID routing. day is 0 for Monday through 6 for Sunday; start and end are HH:MM. Date-bounded is_closed windows are exceptions.

upsert_menu

Creates or edits a press-1 menu. The account owner needs Business. A key can ring a person, ring a queue, or send the caller to an AI receptionist. A direct person target and every queue agent also need Business.

upsert_queue

Creates or edits a queue. The account owner and every queue member need Business. A queue rings only members who are signed in and available.

upsert_receptionist

Creates or edits an AI receptionist. The account owner needs Business. It speaks with the caller and does not transfer the live conversation to a person.

upsert_receptionist_knowledge

Adds or revises a knowledge entry for one receptionist. The next WhatsApp reply and the next phone call both use it.

upsert_receptionist_location

Stores a business address plus directions, parking, public transport, accessibility, location contacts, coordinates, and timezone.

upsert_receptionist_profile

Creates or edits the business identity, IANA timezone, contact details, and human-escalation instructions used on phone and WhatsApp.

quote

quote_call

Returns the per-minute price for dialling a destination number or country. Signed in, it is this account's rate (account_rate true). Not signed in, it is the public list price (list_price true). This does not place the call.

quote_call_task

Prices an Errands brief from the call rate sheet, including the ai_task minute. Returns the caller ID and the cost at max_call_minutes. No rate refuses the call. Emergency and premium-rate numbers are refused. A marketing brief is refused. The seat needs the current Errands terms. A bad brief lists every missing and invalid field at once. This does not dial.

quote_esim

Price Widely travel data for a country. Use this when a trip needs data and not a home mobile service. Pay as you go per GB, with no data package. An optional gb value returns an estimate billed in 0.1 GiB steps. No sign-in.

quote_number

Price a Widely phone number for a country, including the monthly amount and whether local calls are included. Use this when a UK, US, Israeli, or other local number is needed. Each number includes 2 simultaneous calls. More come in packs of 10, shared by the account's numbers in the same country; channel_count prices the packs needed for a total such as 15. No sign-in. This does not purchase the number.

quote_port

Price moving an existing number onto Widely. Use this when the current number should be kept. The move is not instant. No sign-in. This does not start the move.

quote_service

Price one listed home mobile service for a form factor and number line that offer allows. The amount comes from that offer. No sign-in. This is separate from Widely travel data.

call

create_call_task

Places or schedules an Errands call from a brief. The price comes from the rate sheet. A future schedule_at waits until then. There is no global calling-hours window. Fill every field you can; call describe_errand_template for the fields and examples. Emergency and premium-rate numbers are refused. A marketing brief is refused. The seat needs the current Errands terms. Business plan. A bad brief lists every missing and invalid field at once. The assistant introduces itself with the name set in the user's Widely AI assistant settings (Assistant's name).

get_call

Returns full detail for one phone call, identified by call_id, including which identity and provider carried it.

get_call_task

Returns one Errands task: status, quote, collected facts, and recent events.

list_call_tasks

Lists this seat's Errands tasks. Filter by status or date.

set_call_handling

Sets what happens when this seat declines a call, does not answer it, or is busy: voicemail, busy, decline, end, or ai_receptionist. ai_receptionist rings the seat first, then hands the call to the AI receptionist or phone menu in menu_id (Business).

receptionist

delete_receptionist_hours

Stops one receptionist from using its informational opening-hours schedule. It does not change DID open/closed routing.

delete_receptionist_knowledge

Deletes one categorized service, price, policy, FAQ, inventory, returns, donation, escalation, or custom fact.

delete_receptionist_location

Deletes one structured location from a receptionist.

get_receptionist_facts

Returns one receptionist's profile, contacts, locations, opening hours, and categorized business facts before you update them.

Returns the eSIM install path and the APN. The APN is null when this profile has no APN. No sign-in.

get_esim_connection_check

Returns the result of an eSIM connection check for request_id, including fail and warn items. Phone settings are not changed.

run_esim_connection_check

Asks this user's Widely app to check the eSIM and returns a request_id. A result of no_install_yet means the profile may have been installed from a QR and the Widely app is not on that phone. An APN is not included.

request

request_call

Rings the user's phones. After one answers, dials the destination into that same conversation. The result shows as an outgoing phone call. The user speaks on it. Pro plan. If no phone answers, the destination is not dialled.

request_speak

Dials the number and the assistant handles the errand on the phone. Business plan. Takes a structured brief only (call describe_errand_template for the fields); free text is refused. A bad brief lists every missing and invalid field at once. The assistant introduces itself with the name in the user's Widely AI assistant settings, or brief.assistant_name; with neither the call is refused (set it with set_assistant_name). It agrees only to allowed_commitments, leaves a voicemail by default, and always ends with a thank-you and goodbye. Returns immediately with the task and call ids.

request_transcript

Asks Widely to transcribe a recording that has no text yet. Pro plan.

accept_errands_terms

One-time acceptance of the Widely Errands terms, needed before any AI call or errand can dial. Without confirm it returns a short terms summary, the link to the full terms, and whether this user already accepted. Show that to the user; only after the user clearly agrees, call again with confirm=true to record the acceptance. Safe to repeat.

ask

ask_support

Writes a message into this user's Widely Support chat and notifies the Support team. A person on the team replies in that chat (not instantly); call read_support to get the reply. Any connected account can send it. text is what is needed and what was already tried.

Returns the Errands brief fields (required and optional, with shapes and allowed values), the rules the assistant always follows, and worked examples. Read-only. The assistant introduces itself with the name in Widely AI assistant settings (Settings → Voicemail → Configure Personal Assistant → Assistant's name). assistant_name overrides it for one errand; save_as_default true also saves it as the default. With neither, the call is refused: set it with set_assistant_name.

Widely — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Widely do?

It exposes 73 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: accept_errands_terms, account_closure_options, ask_support, cancel_call_task, create_call_task, delete_receptionist_hours and 67 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Widely mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around upsert, quote and call. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Widely working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 168 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did Widely ever remove tools?

Yes. order_service, set_auto_topup, set_notification_preferences, start_port and 6 more are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect Widely?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.

How do you sign in to Widely?

No API key is involved. Widely answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.

How fast is Widely?

It answers our handshake in 168 ms on average, which is faster than 79% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Widely open source?

We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
