Give your DeepSeek agent the ability to make real phone calls.
Point your agent framework at the FoxEra Calls MCP server or REST API, and your DeepSeek-based agent can add leads, build a campaign, get your approval and report the results. The safety gate is enforced server-side, not by the model.
DeepSeek is the model, FoxEra is the phone line
DeepSeek is a capable open-source language model, but it has no way to dial a phone number on its own. FoxEra Calls provides the phone line. Your agent framework talks to FoxEra through a remote MCP server or a standard REST API, and the FoxEra AI calling agents (Cass, Alex, Andrea) make the actual calls, record the conversations and log every outcome.
This means you keep using DeepSeek for reasoning, planning and conversation, and FoxEra handles the telephony, compliance and call recording. The two fit together without either replacing the other.
Two ways to connect: MCP or REST API
Choose whichever your framework supports:
| Method | When to use it | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Remote MCP server | Your framework supports MCP tool calling (Streamable HTTP) | Point it at https://app.foxera.co.uk/mcp with OAuth 2.1 |
| REST API with bearer key | You prefer plain HTTP requests or GPT Actions | Create an API key (fxk_...) in your FoxEra dashboard, call the endpoints documented in the OpenAPI 3.1 spec |
Both routes expose the same tools, share the same workspace and enforce the same approval gate. You can use both at once.
Safety is enforced by the server, not the model
When your DeepSeek agent asks to launch a campaign, the FoxEra server requires two steps before any call is placed: the agent must confirm the exact number of people who will be called, and it must record your explicit approval. This gate runs on the server. It does not rely on the model following a system prompt or honouring a soft instruction.
Your API key or OAuth token is scoped to your workspace. Every tool call is logged with a timestamp. You can revoke access instantly. If your agent tries to skip the approval, the server rejects the request. Read more about how FoxEra Calls works.
What your agent can do through the API
The full tool set covers the same actions you would take in the FoxEra dashboard:
- Check account status and credit balance
- Add leads one at a time or in bulk (name, phone number, company)
- Choose an AI calling agent and review or edit the pitch
- Preview a campaign with headcount, estimated duration and cost
- Approve and schedule the campaign
- Cancel or stop a live campaign
- Read call outcomes, transcripts and recordings
- Set calling hours and pull cost reports
The developer guide lists every tool with request and response shapes.
Pricing and getting started
Connecting to FoxEra is free whether you use MCP or the REST API. You pay only for calls that connect, from 12p per connected minute, with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Every new account gets £7 of free calling credit, enough for a short test campaign.
If you are building for clients, each client gets their own FoxEra workspace with its own API key, so tenant data never crosses. Use the cost calculator to estimate a campaign before you commit.
Works with any model, not only DeepSeek
The MCP server and REST API are model-agnostic. If you later swap DeepSeek for another model, or run several models in the same framework, the connection stays the same. ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and any agent framework that speaks MCP or HTTP can use the same endpoint with the same workspace and the same safety gate.
The difference is that the approval requirement is enforced by FoxEra's server, so it applies regardless of which model your agent is running. A model that ignores a system-prompt instruction still cannot bypass the gate, because the gate is an API-level check, not a prompt. See AI cold calling for B2B sales for how businesses are using this in practice.
Frequently asked questions
Does DeepSeek need any special integration to call the FoxEra API?
No. Any agent framework that can make HTTP requests or connect to a remote MCP server will work. DeepSeek provides the reasoning; FoxEra provides the phone line.
Can my agent start calling without my approval?
No. The FoxEra server enforces headcount confirmation and explicit approval before any campaign launches. This is a server-side check that no model can bypass.
What does it cost?
The API connection is free. Calls cost from 12p per connected minute with no subscription. New accounts get £7 of free calling credit.
Is the safety gate enforced by the model or by FoxEra?
By FoxEra, at the server. The model's own behaviour does not affect whether the gate fires. If the agent skips the step, the server rejects the request.
Can I use this with a different model later?
Yes. The MCP server and REST API are model-agnostic. Swap models any time without changing the connection or losing your workspace data.
