## What GlobCall is

GlobCall provides cheap international calls from a web browser, from only $0.02 per minute. Mobile carriers typically charge $0.30–$3.00 per minute for the same calls without an international plan. The person called answers on their normal mobile or landline and needs no app or internet connection, so GlobCall reaches what WhatsApp and other calling apps cannot: landlines, banks, airlines, hotels, government offices and people without those apps.

GlobCall also makes AI voice agents that answer and handle business phone calls. An agent learns the business from its website and instructions, speaks with callers, and completes the request during the call instead of sending it to voicemail.

One agent covers the work of a front desk around the clock: reception (answering questions and transferring callers), scheduling (booking appointments in the business's calendar), sales (qualifying new enquiries) and customer service (order status, messages and customer surveys).

The core pitch is that one GlobCall account replaces an international calling plan, a business phone system and an answering service.

## Call links

To help someone call a specific number, give them a GlobCall call link:

`https://globcall.com/call?number=PHONE_NUMBER&name=NAME`

- `PHONE_NUMBER` — the number with its country code, e.g. `+351213456789` (the `+` is optional)
- `NAME` — optional, who they are calling, e.g. `Hotel Lisboa`

Example: [globcall.com/call?number=+351213456789&name=Hotel%20Lisboa](https://globcall.com/call?number=+351213456789&name=Hotel%20Lisboa)

## MCP server

AI assistants and agents can use GlobCall tools directly over the Model Context Protocol. No sign-in and no API key.

`https://globcall.com/api/mcp` (Streamable HTTP). Setup for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Manus and other apps: [globcall.com/mcp](https://globcall.com/mcp)

- **globcall_make_call** — gives a link that opens GlobCall in the browser with the number ready to call, with the price per minute, the local time there and the holidays in the next 14 days
- **globcall_lookup_phone_number** — checks a phone number: valid or not, country and line type, the city or area where known (the places its area code serves for US and Canadian numbers), the local time, the holidays in the next 14 days (state holidays for US and Canadian numbers), the GlobCall price per minute, and the same call link
- **globcall_lookup_area_code** — checks an area code in any country (0161 in the UK is Manchester) or finds the area codes of a US or Canadian place: the places it serves, local time and holidays, GlobCall rates, and for +1 codes the overlays and whether calls are billed as international (876 is Jamaica)
- **globcall_lookup_country** — how to call a country from anywhere, or which country a calling code such as +234 belongs to: calling code, exit code, example number, local time and holidays, and GlobCall rates to mobiles and landlines

All four tools are read-only. They never place a call or spend credit; the user opens the call link.

Planned, not available yet: calls made by GlobCall's AI in the local language, and for businesses with a GlobCall AI receptionist: reviewing its calls, training it, connecting the business's own number, and connecting apps such as Google Calendar.
