Connect Claude or ChatGPT

Let your own AI assistant read your workspace, in about a minute.

Connecting an assistant lets you ask it about your account in your own words — what the balance is, which numbers are live, how long yesterday’s calls ran — without opening the console.

  1. Add the connector

    In Claude or ChatGPT, add a custom connector and give it this URL. There is nothing to paste beyond the URL — no key, no secret.

    Server URLbash
    https://app.prepaid.ai/api/mcp

  2. Approve it in your console

    The assistant opens your browser at prepaid.ai. Sign in if you are not already, check the name of the app asking, and approve. The workspace it connects to is the one you are signed in to.

  3. Ask it something

    Try "what is my prepaid.ai balance" or "list my phone numbers". The assistant picks the right tool itself.

    NoteAmounts come back in credit-hundredths, so a balance of 1280 is $12.80. Assistants usually convert it for you, but it is worth knowing when one does not.

Clients that use a config file#

A terminal client has no browser to run an approval screen in, so it sends an API key as a bearer token instead. Mint one under Settings → API keys.

What it can and cannot do#

It can read four things: your balance, your agents, your numbers and your recent calls. It cannot spend credits, take an agent live, change what your phone line says, or delete anything.

Worth knowingThat is a decision, not a gap. Anything that changes what a real phone number says to real callers belongs on a screen where you confirm it, not inside a chat where a model decided it was a good idea.

Ending a connection#

Settings → Connected apps lists every assistant you have connected and when each last used its access. Disconnect ends it immediately and everywhere — the assistant’s next request is refused.
