Outside Agent MCP Server

Remote MCP server for building and publishing production-ready AI agents that operate on web, SMS, and phone channels. Connect from any coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) and deploy agents directly to production channels.

What It Does

  • Agent Deployment — Build AI agents in your IDE and deploy to web/SMS/phone
  • Multi-Channel — Same agent logic serves web chat, SMS text, and phone calls
  • Remote MCP — No local server needed — connect to hosted endpoint
  • Production-Grade — Built for production deployment, not just prototyping

Tools Provided

  • list_agents — View all deployed agents and their status
  • get_conversation_logs — Review agent interactions across channels

Limitations

  • 0 stars, brand new — Created July 15, 2026. Early stage.
  • SaaS platform dependency — Agents run on Outside Agent infrastructure, not self-hosted.
  • Pricing unknown — No public pricing for the platform.
  • Vendor lock-in — Agent definitions and conversation data live on their platform.

Operator Verdict

★★ Useful for rapid deployment but evaluate vendor risk. The multi-channel deployment (web+SMS+phone from one agent definition) is genuinely valuable. However, the platform dependency means you're betting on Outside Agent's longevity. Good for MVPs and prototypes. For mission-critical agents, prefer self-hosted MCP servers with direct Twilio/WebSocket integration.
