It creates no account: the owner keeps a preview by signing up. Its manifest is /.well-known/mcp.json on this domain. - [Add Amfion to a website](https://amfionhq.com/help/website-install): the embed code, where it goes on common website builders, and how to check it works. - [Platform documentation](https://amfionhq.com/docs): every Amfion business CAN expose its own MCP endpoint (streamable HTTP, no auth) with a manifest at /.well-known/mcp.json and an llms.txt, each on that business's own domain. Owners may disable it; a disabled business serves no manifest and no MCP tools. - Agent Gateway bookings are two-phase (prepare_booking, then explicit user approval, then confirm_booking) with single-use capability tokens; there is no one-shot booking tool.

The business keeps its own number with its carrier and forwards calls to its Amfion number: only the calls nobody answers, after hours, or all of them. Moving the number itself to Amfion is arranged with Amfion's team for established customers. - Only with a condition: Texting (SMS) and WhatsApp. Two-way texts and WhatsApp messages on the Amfion number, answered the same way as chat. Texting starts once the carrier registration for the number is approved, which takes days to weeks; WhatsApp is set up with Amfion. - Not available: Scheduled SMS reminders. Scheduled text-message reminders are not available. Appointment reminders, rebooking nudges and review requests are sent by email. - Not available: Texting people who missed a call. Amfion does not text people because they missed a call: a missed call alone is not treated as permission to text. A caller can ask for a text during the call. - Not available: Writing into practice or field-service software. Amfion does not write bookings into ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, MoeGo, Gingr, practice-management systems or similar software. Bookings stay in Amfion or Cal.com, with webhooks, an API and Zapier for passing them on. - Not available: Choosing a specific staff member. Customers cannot pick a specific person. A service can be tied to a team, and each booking goes to a team member who is free. - Not available: Several locations. Each location needs its own workspace, and a conversation is not routed between locations. - Only with a condition: Languages. Website chat and phone calls in English and Spanish; texts in English. - Not available: Health information (HIPAA). Amfion is not built for protected health information and does not sign HIPAA business associate agreements. It must not collect symptoms, diagnoses, insurance or records. - Only with a condition: Where Amfion works. Built for businesses in the United States. A business outside the US, or one serving customers in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, is reviewed before it can go live. - Only with a condition: Webhooks, API and Zapier. Webhooks and an API key for the business's own systems. The Zapier app is available by invitation until it is published.
