Vonage Developer

🏡I set up my house to text my neighbor while I am away in case of a break-in. No, really. It may sound like a sci-fi scenario, but it's what you can create using Vonage MCP servers with your Home Assistant app. 🔗Full tutorial here: vonage.dev/3NHZh8w

🧩 At our Developer Relations meetup, we went through our bags to see what unique things everyone brought. Do you have a lucky charm or a special item that you always take with you wherever you go?

🛫 Being ready for surprises is important when communicating during emergencies. If a flight is delayed or the departure platform changes, your customer should always be informed to feel at ease. Using event-driven architecture and a reactive notification system built with Vonage APIs, you can keep travelers updated through SMS, WhatsApp, or RCS.

Setting up automated calls is easy as 1, 2, 3. With Voice API and Messages API, you can do more than make automated calls. You can collect important information or send a WhatsApp message.

🌙 Monitor your project's performance insights and deep analytics with just a few lines of code. Laravel Nightwatch is easy to implement, allowing you to skip manual checkpoints and alerts. Learn more here: vonage.dev/46LNaxK

📞 On March 10th, 1876, communication changed forever with a simple sentence: "Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you." This was the first time anyone successfully sent speech over a telephone, thanks to Alexander Graham Bell. It was a simple but clever invention that broke distance barriers and let people hear each other’s voices through wires for the first time. 📲 It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come since that first call. Now, we enjoy clear voice and video chats every day. That first step started the global network we rely on today. Nowadays, voice is part of our digital lives, and we often use it without even thinking. Technologies like Voice APIs make this possible. They let developers add calling, conferencing, and real-time communication to any app, from customer service to in-app calls. 💡 The journey from Bell’s lab to today’s global connections shows how innovative people can be. This date marks more than just the invention of the telephone- it’s the starting point for the connected world we live in now. If you want to take the next step in communication, start at our Voice API hub. 🔗:  vonage.dev/VoiceAPI Looking for some inspiration? Check our Voice dedicated blogs: vonage.dev/VoiceAPIblogs

@pierluigionofri @devfestnantes We are excited to see what you will create! 🪄

👉 What if customer engagement felt less like a sales pitch and more like a fantasy quest? 🤔 I recently discovered this @VonageDev blog on building a fantasy adventure #game with Rails and RCS at @devfestnantes and it immediately sparked ideas for me! ✨ myteam.ericsson.net/fMtgbsBRPBKd

📞  Format Validity, Carrier, and Connection are three easy ways to validate a number you are trying to contact. You can use them all at once in a split second using Vonage's Identity Insights -> learn how here vonage.dev/4r0XE3j

🤖 Thank you to the @londroid community for letting us host your February meetup at our London office last week! We enjoyed two great presentations: Zachary Powell, Head of Developer Community at Next App devCon, spoke about 'Beyond the Smartphone: Android's Identity Crisis in 2026.' Nicola Corti shared his experiences in 'What I Learned from Publishing Libraries to Maven Central for 10 Years.' Both talks led to lively Q&A sessions and sparked interesting discussions. 🎤 It was great to see the Android community share ideas, make connections, and network throughout the evening.

As AI agents become users of backend systems, our tools need to adapt. In this video, we'll walk through the MCP Servers for Documentation and Tooling and show how they make AI-driven development with Vonage safer, more reliable, and more productive. 🚀 🔗: vonage.dev/45V2yqX

😱 Imagine being out in the wild, alone, it's getting dark, and your phone battery is at the dangerous 5% left. Turning your GPS on to find your way (and let your friends know where you are) is a risky game of "will I make it before power runs out?" This is where cell triangulation comes in. How does it work, and how does Vonage leverage that? Learn more about Vonage Device Location Retrieval: vonage.dev/4tDZtGd

Working with MCP has fundamentally changed how we view manual processes, prompting us to consider what can be automated to remove friction from our workflow. Read more about our experiences here vonage.dev/3MGSRGn

💰Tool design and context budgets are crucial. Every tool you introduce consumes part of the model's limited context window. For this reason, it's often more effective to use smaller, single-purpose tools rather than large, ambiguous ones. Performance isn't just about speed - it's also about using the context window efficiently.

🧵 When building real-world MCP tools using Vonage APIs, we faced challenges that forced us to rethink our strategy. This article goes beyond simply defining MCP and instead shares the common pitfalls we discovered. By highlighting what didn't work, we aim to help you refine your approach early and fully leverage the power of this AI-driven tooling.
