AI agent tools: Overview

Learn what tools are and how AI agents use them.

Note: Tools, or AI voice agent integrations, are only available for users on the Professional and Enterprise plans.

AI agent tools are business applications that your AI agents can be connected to to retrieve information and perform various actions. These integrations are powered by MCP servers.

An MCP server is a connector between your AI agent and external business tools. It translates requests from the AI into commands that the connected system can understand (such as API calls) and then converts the response back into a format the AI can use.

In simple terms, MCP servers allow AI agents and business applications to communicate with each other.

You can think of MCP servers as additional “skills” you give your AI agent. For example, retrieving customer data from a CRM or checking availability in a calendar.

To learn more about how MCP servers work, see How MCP works in DialLink.

What makes DialLink’s AI agent tools unique?

DialLink makes it easy to connect your AI agent to the MCP servers of other third-party business tools. Choose from a library of prebuilt integrations and connect them through a simple setup process, no technical expertise required.

Each MCP server connects to a specific business tool. You can select which tools to connect and assign them to your AI agent based on your needs.

One AI agent can be connected to multiple MCP servers at the same time, allowing it to interact with several business systems during a single call.

What can AI agents do with MCP servers?

With MCP servers, AI agents can go beyond answering questions and actively interact with your business systems:

  • Retrieve data in real time: Access information from connected tools (such as CRM or scheduling systems) while on a call

  • Perform actions across systems: Complete tasks like booking appointments or updating records

  • Deliver personalized responses: Use context from multiple sources (such as customer history or preferences) to tailor conversations

  • Coordinate across tools: Manage workflows that involve multiple systems within a single interaction
