# Dograh AI
**The open-source, self-hostable alternative to Vapi & Retell** — build production voice agents with a drag-and-drop workflow builder. From zero to a working bot in under 2 minutes.
**The open-source, self-hostable alternative to Vapi & Retell** — build production voice agents with a visual workflow builder, test them in minutes, and let AI coding assistants help design and edit them through MCP.

1. Open [http://localhost:3010](http://localhost:3010) in your browser.
2. Pick **Inbound** or **Outbound**, name your bot (e.g. _Lead Qualification_), and describe the use case in 510 words (e.g. _Screen insurance form submissions for purchase intent_).
3. Click **Web Call** — you're talking to your bot.
3. Click **Test Agent**.
4. Use **Test Audio** to talk to your agent in the browser, or **Test Chat** to iterate faster in text. In Test Chat, you can edit or replay user turns and Dograh will regenerate the agent's replies and node transitions from that point.
> 🔑 **No API keys needed.** Dograh ships with auto-generated keys and its own LLM / TTS / STT stack. Connect your own keys for LLM, TTS, STT, or Telephony (e.g. Twilio, Vonage, Telnyx) anytime.
## Build Agents with MCP
Dograh ships with an MCP server, so coding agents can work directly inside your Dograh workspace.
Connect Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client to inspect existing agents, search Dograh docs, fetch node schemas, create new workflows, and save draft edits from natural language.
When asking your coding agent to build a voice agent, share a short script for
the use case instead of only a one-line prompt. Include the agent persona, call
flow, rules, objection handling, success criteria, and a sample conversation if
you have one.
See the [MCP guide](https://docs.dograh.com/integrations/mcp) to connect your assistant.
## Features
### Voice Capabilities
### Voice Agent Builder
- Telephony: Built-in telephony integration like Twilio, Vonage, Vobiz, Cloudonix (easily add others), with support for transferring calls to human agents
- Languages: English support (expandable to other languages)
- Custom Models: Bring your own TTS/STT models
- Real-time Processing: Low-latency voice interactions
- Visual workflow builder with start nodes, agent nodes, global instructions, tools, transitions, and end-call outcomes
- Test Agent panel with **Test Audio** for browser voice testing and **Test Chat** for fast prompt iteration
- QA node, knowledge bases, webhooks, embeds, and tool calling for production workflows
### Voice & Telephony
- Built-in telephony integrations including Twilio, Vonage, Telnyx, Plivo, Vobiz, Cloudonix, and Asterisk ARI
- Human handoff with call transfer on supported telephony providers
- Bring your own LLM, TTS, STT, and telephony providers; store artifacts in bundled MinIO or AWS/S3-compatible storage
### Developer Experience
- Zero Config Start: Auto-generated API keys for instant testing
- Python-Based: Built on Python for easy customization
- Docker-First: Containerized for consistent deployments
- Modular Architecture: Swap components as needed
### Testing & Quality
- **Test Mode**: Try your agent end-to-end before publishing, with no production calls or data affected
- **In-Dashboard Web Calls**: Talk to your bot directly while building — no telephony setup required
- **QA Node**: A built-in workflow node that analyzes prompt quality across your other nodes
- One-command Docker setup for self-hosting
- Python backend and modular provider architecture for customization
- Python and Node SDKs for programmatic agent creation and outbound calls
