What you can do
Check on your account
Check on your account
“List my agents”, “what’s my wallet balance?”, “show me the numbers on my account” — quick lookups without opening the dashboard.
Debug a call
Debug a call
“Get the last 5 executions for agent X and show me the transcript for any that failed” — the assistant chains the lookups for you.
Build and change agents
Build and change agents
“Create a Hindi lead-qualification agent using Sarvam and GPT-4o mini”, “update agent X’s welcome message” — describe the change, the assistant makes the API call.
Run batches and set up dispositions
Run batches and set up dispositions
“Create a batch from this CSV and schedule it for 9am”, “add a disposition that captures appointment_time from the call” — campaign and post-call setup without leaving the chat.
Build and run multi-step workflows
Build and run multi-step workflows
“Create a workflow that calls this agent and, if there’s no answer, retries in an hour then follows up over WhatsApp”, “run this workflow against +91XXXXXXXXXX”, “start a workflow campaign from this CSV of leads” — author, publish, and run per-contact automations, or check where any contact is stuck.
Manage phone numbers, SIP trunks, and sub-accounts
Manage phone numbers, SIP trunks, and sub-accounts
“Buy me a US number and route it to my support agent”, “add this number to my Twilio trunk”, “what did the Acme sub-account spend this month?” — the enterprise and telephony surface, not just agents.
Add a knowledgebase
Add a knowledgebase
“Create a knowledgebase from our pricing page and check when it’s done processing” — give an agent RAG over a URL without leaving the chat.
Review flagged calls
Review flagged calls
“List any pending violations on my account” — see calls flagged for content policy, regulatory, or fraud review.
Look up the docs
Look up the docs
“How do I set up a webhook?”, “show me the MCP tool list page” — the assistant searches Bolna’s documentation and reads back the actual page content, instead of guessing from training data.
How it works
Your client sends your Bolna API key as a Bearer token tohttps://mcp.bolna.ai/api/mcp. For the 82 account tools, the server checks the key, calls the matching Bolna REST API endpoint, and hands back trimmed JSON your assistant can reason about. search_docs and get_doc skip the account API entirely — they read Bolna’s public documentation (llms.txt and its doc pages) instead.
Switching accounts mid-conversation
Every tool also accepts an optionalapi_key argument that overrides the connected account’s credential for just that one call. This is built for sub-accounts: ask the assistant to list_sub_accounts, grab the key (sa-...) for the one you want, then pass it as api_key on any later tool call to act as that sub-account — no reconnecting required. A sub-account key also works as the primary connection credential from the start, exactly like a main account’s bn-... key.
How the Bolna MCP server connects your AI assistant to your account
Confirm before it acts
23 tools are flagged as destructive in their tool definitions — irreversible deletes, a real-world effect like spending balance or breaking something still in use, or a change to something already published or running. Most clients ask you to confirm before running them:update_agent, delete_agent, start_outbound_call, schedule_batch, delete_batch, delete_disposition, buy_phone_number, delete_phone_number, delete_sip_trunk, delete_sub_account, remove_provider, delete_knowledgebase, rename_workflow, delete_workflow, save_workflow_draft, publish_workflow, run_workflow, delete_workflow_campaign, start_workflow_campaign, pause_workflow_campaign, resume_workflow_campaign, abort_workflow_campaign, and cancel_workflow_execution — see the Tool List for what makes each one destructive.
Reference
Tool List
Every tool the server exposes, grouped by agents, calls, batches, dispositions, knowledgebases, phone numbers, SIP trunks, sub-accounts, voice, violations, workflows, workflow campaigns, workflow executions, and account
Prompt Cheatsheet
Copy-paste prompts for common tasks — works in any client, chat-only included
For coding agents
Example: Monitoring Dashboard
Requires Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or another agent that can write and run files — use the MCP server to explore your data, then have it build a small dashboard around it
Bolna Skills
A code-native alternative — teaches the same operations to Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex directly, no MCP connection needed
