What is the RingOwl connector?

It's an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT read your RingOwl calls and, if you allow it, update what your AI receptionist tells callers. You chat in your AI app; it asks RingOwl for the answer.

No. The connector is included on every RingOwl plan, including the free trial. Your AI app may need a plan that supports custom connectors.

What's the server URL?

https://app.ringowl.ai/mcp. You sign in with your normal RingOwl email and password or Google account, so there's nothing else to paste.

Can the AI app change my settings without asking?

Only if you left “Allow changes” on when you connected, and even then the connector tells the assistant to confirm changes with you first. Most AI apps also ask before running a tool that edits anything. Choose read-only if you'd rather make changes yourself.

Can it place calls or text my customers?

No. The connector reads your calls and updates your receptionist's hours, FAQs, notes and greeting. It can't place calls, send texts or change billing.

Go to Integrations in your RingOwl dashboard and click Disconnect, or remove the connector in your AI app. Access stops straight away.

What the connector can do

Always: look things up

Calls: List recent calls, open any call's summary, captured details and full transcript.
Search: Find any word, name or number across every call transcript.
Follow-ups: Callers who asked for a call back, left a message, wanted a person or hung up.
Appointments: What your AI receptionist booked, coming up or in the past.
Stats: Call volume, outcomes, after-hours calls and your busiest days and hours.
Your setup: Hours, greeting, FAQs, transfer contacts and plan, so answers stay accurate.

If you allow changes: update your AI receptionist

Business hours: Change your weekly hours.
FAQs: Add, reword or remove the answers your AI gives callers.
Knowledge notes: Holiday closures, new prices, promotions, policies.
Greeting: Change the first thing callers hear.

Changes go live on your next call, usually within a minute or two. It can’t place calls, send texts or touch billing.

You stay in control

You approve every connection

Each app asks you to sign in to RingOwl and click Allow. There's no API key that can leak from a settings file.

Read-only if you prefer

Untick “Allow changes” when you connect and the app can only look, never edit.

One business per connection

A connection only sees the business you approved. Nothing from other RingOwl accounts, ever.

Disconnect any time

Integrations in your dashboard lists every connected assistant with a Disconnect button.
