RELEASES and ANNOUNCEMENTS
Introducing the Vonage MCP Tooling Server
Now, AI agents like Claude and Cursor can send messages, provision numbers, check balances, and manage your Vonage apps directly from a prompt. It’s open-source and secure, plus it comes with ready-to-use tools you can easily extend.
Introducing the Vonage Developer LinkedIn Page
Here’s your space to stay up to date with insights and news, learn, connect with the community … not to mention participate in events, webinars, contests, and more. Make sure to follow us.
Announcing SSL Security Enhancements
These updates keep Vonage APIs securely encrypted and compatible with modern clients — and the benefits now extend to other Vonage domains. Learn how these SSL updates help protect your data and ensure secure end-to-end communications.
TUTORIALS and INSPIRATION
Spread Holiday Cheer With AI Agents and Vonage MCP Messaging Tools
One-size-fits-all messaging no longer works. Some users prefer SMS, others like WhatsApp, and RCS adoption is growing fast. Benjamin Aronov shows how to integrate an AI agent with the Vonage MCP Server to send holiday messages that automatically respect preferences, channels, and even language.
Monitor Your Webhooks With Laravel Nightwatch
Monitoring PHP applications can be daunting. Laravel Nightwatch changes that with a native, easy-to-use way to track application events and performance. Jim Seconde spins up a simple webhook and monitors it all through the Nightwatch dashboard.
Send and Receive WhatsApp Messages With Python
Alexandra Williams teaches you to use Flask to send and receive messages — without the full Vonage app or WhatsApp Business Account — making it the fastest way to experiment with Vonage Messages API.
Improve the User Video Experience With Real-Time Quality Monitoring
Did you know there’s a standard for how good your video looks and feels? The Mean Opinion Score (MOS) bridges the gap between technical metrics like jitter and latency with actual user satisfaction. Amanda Cavallaro explains MOS, why it’s subjective, and how your Vonage video application can use it to enhance user experience.
Identity Insights API Use Cases for Fraud Prevention
Fraud threats are evolving fast, with AI-driven scams targeting businesses of all sizes. Staying ahead requires smarter detection, stronger prevention, and constant vigilance. Amanda Cavallaro explores four identity insights use cases and how Vonage Identity Insights API provides real-time access to carrier, subscriber, and device data to help combat fraud.
EVENTS
