Use tool ↗About PhonePi MCP
PhonePi MCP is a free, open-source bridge between AI assistants and an Android phone, built on the Model Context Protocol. Once the companion Android app is installed and connected over the same network or Tailscale, an MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cline gets access to more than twenty phone actions: sending texts, placing calls, managing contacts, reading notifications, and storing snippets. It is a solo project by developer Priyankar Kumar, released under the MIT license with source published on GitHub, rather than a commercial product backed by a company. An iOS companion app is listed as still in development, so today it only works with Android phones.

Pros & cons of PhonePi MCP
A genuinely useful bridge if you already use an MCP client and want it to text or call from your own phone, but it is a one-person open-source project rather than a maintained product, so continuity and support depend entirely on one developer. iOS users cannot use it yet.
Pros
- Free and open source with the code publicly available
- Covers a wide range of phone actions rather than just one, including messaging, calls, contacts, and notifications
- Works with multiple MCP clients, not locked to a single AI assistant
Cons
- Android only; iOS support is not shipped yet
- Maintained by a single developer with no company backing it
- Requires local network or Tailscale setup, which is a real barrier for non-technical users
Best for
- Developers already running Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cline who want phone actions available as MCP tools
- Android users comfortable installing a companion app and configuring local network or Tailscale access
- Hobbyists experimenting with MCP servers rather than teams needing an SLA
Not for
- iOS users, since the companion app is not released yet
- Anyone needing vendor support or an uptime guarantee
Watch out: Granting an AI assistant the ability to send texts and place calls from your phone is a meaningful permission grant — review exactly which actions are enabled before connecting it.
