We’ve launched Clerk Chat MCP server. You can now use our features right in ChatGPT and Claude. The Clerk Chat MCP Server now supports OAuth 2.0 with PKCE for improved security. Documentation is available at https://docs.clerk.chat/integrations/mcp, and early access is available by contacting sales@clerk.chat.
You can now configure background and thinking noises for AI agents directly in Inbox Voice Settings, including independent volume controls. Background noise plays continuously during a call, while thinking noise plays when the agent is generating a response.
The new Speak Tool allows you to play deterministic text or audio at any point in an agent flow. This ensures specific messages are delivered exactly as written when precision and consistency are required.
You can now preview voices directly from Inbox Voice Settings before selecting or saving a model. Simply click the play button next to a voice to hear a sample instantly.
Anthropic Claude Haiku 4.5 is now available as a voice LLM option. This model offers fast, high-quality responses optimized for voice interactions.
Twilio is now supported as a provider for call recording. This enables more flexible voice and call recording workflows.
The Call Tester now supports language selection. This makes it easier to test and validate multilingual voice experiences.
LLM variables now work more reliably across objects and skills, including embedded objects. This improves flexibility when building dynamic agent logic.
