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

Business Operator Use Cases¶

Use Case	Value
Customer Support Agent	Deploy an FAQ agent that answers via web chat + SMS
Phone Answering Agent	AI agent that answers business calls and routes inquiries
SMS Notifications	Agent-initiated SMS alerts for order updates, appointments
Multi-Channel Consistency	Same agent personality across web, SMS, and phone

Installation¶

      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://mcp.outsideagent.io/mcp",
      "env": {

      }
    }
  }
}

deploy_agent - Deploy agent to specified channels (web, SMS, phone)
list_agents - View all deployed agents and their status
get_conversation_logs - Review agent interactions across channels

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.

This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.

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.
