## What the Quo MCP Does

The Quo MCP gives Claude and ChatGPT direct access to your business phone data. Instead of logging into Quo to review calls or manually texting follow-ups, you query your phone system in natural language and let your AI assistant act on the results.

**Core capabilities:**

- **Uncover call and text insights** — analyze call transcripts across any number, group issues by theme, surface complaint patterns, and identify stalled leads
- **Send batch follow-up texts** — draft and send bulk replies to contacts who haven't responded; either confirm before sending or let your AI assistant handle it autonomously
- **Update contact records from transcripts** — pull recent call transcripts, extract updated contact information (email, phone, address), and push changes to your Quo address book automatically
- **Generate weekly briefings** — summarize call volume, missed calls, quote requests, and conversations still needing follow-up for any time period
- **Draft voicemail responses** — transcribe a voicemail and generate a personalized text reply in one prompt
- **Run sales coaching reviews** — pull a call transcript, get a rep assessment (what worked, what to change), and generate a practice script

**Setup:** One click. No server URLs, no OAuth flows, no coding. Quo is a certified native listing in the Claude and ChatGPT connector directories.

## Quo MCP vs. Manual Workflow

| Task | Without Quo MCP | With Quo MCP |
|---|---|---|
| **Review 50 calls for complaints** | Manual listening or reading transcripts one by one | Single prompt — themes grouped and ranked in seconds |
| **Follow up with non-responders** | Export contacts, draft texts, send manually | One prompt identifies non-responders and sends follow-ups |
| **Update contact records from calls** | Listen to calls, manually edit each contact | One prompt extracts and updates all changed fields |
| **Weekly comms briefing** | Pull reports from Quo dashboard, assemble manually | Single prompt generates full summary with gaps flagged |
| **Voicemail response** | Listen to voicemail, draft text, send | One prompt transcribes and drafts the reply |
| **Sales call coaching** | Review recording, write feedback manually | One prompt returns assessment and practice script |

## Example Prompts

**Call insight analysis:**
> *Pull my last 50 calls on [my business phone number]. What are customers complaining about most? Group the issues by theme and tell me how many times each came up.*

**Bulk follow-up:**

**Contact updates from transcripts:**
> *Pull my last 20 call transcripts on [my business phone number]. If any customer gave a new email address, phone number, or mailing address during the call, update their Quo contact.*

**Weekly briefing:**
> *Pull my calls and messages from [my business phone number] for the past week. Give me a summary: how many calls, how many texts, any missed calls, how many people asked for a quote vs last week, and any conversations that still need follow-up.*

**Voicemail response:**
> *Pull the voicemail I just got on [my business phone number]. Draft a text reply that addresses what they called about and offers to set up a time to talk.*

**Sales coaching:**
> *Pull the transcript from my team's last call with the customer at [customer's phone number]. Tell me what happened, what the rep did well, and what they should do differently next time. Include a script they can practice.*

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is a business phone MCP?**
A business phone MCP (Model Context Protocol integration) connects a phone system to an AI assistant, giving the AI structured access to call transcripts, message history, and contact records. Instead of switching between your phone app and AI assistant, you query your phone data in natural language and act on it in the same interface.

**How does the Quo MCP work?**
Quo exposes a set of tools via the Model Context Protocol. When you write a prompt in Claude or ChatGPT that references your Quo number, the AI calls the relevant Quo tools (fetch transcripts, send message, update contact), executes the action, and returns the result — all within the AI chat interface.

**Is this different from a Zapier or Make integration?**
Yes. Zapier and Make automate predefined workflows triggered by events. MCP gives your AI assistant ad-hoc, natural-language access to your phone data — no workflow configuration needed in advance.

**Do I need a developer to set up the Quo MCP?**
No. Quo is a certified native integration in the Claude and ChatGPT connector directories. An admin authenticates with their Quo credentials and the integration is live. No manual server configuration.

**Why can't I find my Quo number in Claude or ChatGPT?**
Use the full number with country code (e.g. +14155550100). You can also use the number ID from your Quo settings.

**Is our call and text data used to train AI models?**
No. The integration follows strict data minimization principles. The AI only receives information required to complete the specific task. It does not have unrestricted access to your workspace or call recordings.

**Does using MCP to send texts cost extra?**
The MCP integration is included with every Quo plan. Sending texts via MCP uses Quo API messaging credits. See [quo.com/pricing](https://www.quo.com/pricing) for details.

**Can I control what the AI can do with my Quo data?**
Yes. Your AI assistant can only perform actions your Quo account already permits. Before sending a text or creating a contact, it asks for your approval. You can disconnect the integration at any time.
