Ictpbx MCP: MCP server, setup and security
Ictpbx MCP is an open-source MCP server that lets an AI agent read ICTPBX statistics, extensions, DIDs, providers and tenant information. Its repository has 16 stars and its last commit is from September 7, 2026 and it is licensed under MIT.
What Ictpbx MCP does
According to its repository: “Read-only access to ICTPBX, a multi-tenant IP PBX on ICTCore and FreeSWITCH: PBX statistics, extensions, DIDs, providers and tenants.”
An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. Ictpbx MCP is listed under Messaging and email, a category of 107 servers in the directory, where it ranks #74 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: ai-agent, claude, ictcore, ictpbx, pbx, sip.
Installing and connecting Ictpbx MCP
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- npm package (Node.js, usually started with
npx)
Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: TypeScript. Listed systems: macOS, Windows, Linux.
The registry lists one secret variable to provide (API key, access token). Keep them in the client's environment variables, never in a shared file or a repository.
Security: what to check
An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.
Points found for Ictpbx MCP:
- Secrets: the server acts with your credentials. Create a dedicated key with minimum rights and an expiry date.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on September 1, 2026, the ictinnovations/ictpbx-mcp repository has 16 stars and 15 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 35% of the servers in the directory. Last change 2 months ago. Version published in the registry: 0.1.0 (September 1, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
