# livekit-plugins-telnyx — Telnyx implementation for LiveKit Agents

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 105.8K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is a plugin that bridges Telnyx's telephony platform with LiveKit's Agent Framework, allowing voice agents built on LiveKit to connect to the public switched telephone network. It extends the core livekit-agents library with Telnyx-specific integrations, enabling agents to receive inbound calls from phone numbers and initiate outbound calls to standard phone lines.

The plugin is part of LiveKit's broader ecosystem for building real-time, programmable voice agents. It works alongside other LiveKit components (STT, LLM, TTS providers) to create conversational agents that operate over traditional telephony channels. Installation requires Python 3.10 or later and the core LiveKit Agents library plus the Telnyx plugin itself.

Use it for:

- Build a customer service voice agent that receives inbound calls from a Telnyx-provisioned phone number
- Create an outbound calling system where agents proactively call users for surveys, reminders, or notifications
- Integrate a multi-modal voice AI with existing phone infrastructure without replacing your telephony provider
- Route incoming calls to different agents based on caller input or context using LiveKit's dispatch system

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Integrates Telnyx telephony services with LiveKit Agents, enabling voice agents to make and receive phone calls through the Telnyx network.

Yes, if you are building voice agents on LiveKit and need to connect them to phone calls via Telnyx. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and integrates cleanly into the LiveKit ecosystem. Install it only if you have a Telnyx account and plan to use telephony; it is not useful without that infrastructure.

## Install

pip install livekit-plugins-telnyx
uv add livekit-plugins-telnyx
poetry add livekit-plugins-telnyx

## Installing livekit-plugins-telnyx

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel. The package is actively maintained with a recent release and depends on stable, widely-used libraries (aiohttp, livekit-agents, livekit-api).

License in practice: Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions—suitable for most production deployments.

Quickstart:

pip install livekit-plugins-telnyx

from livekit.agents import Agent, AgentServer
from livekit.plugins import telnyx

server = AgentServer()

@server.rtc_session()
async def entrypoint(ctx):
    # Configure Telnyx integration and create agent session
    session = AgentSession(stt=..., llm=..., tts=...)
    agent = Agent(instructions="...")
    await session.start(agent=agent, room=ctx.room)

Requires Python 3.10 or later and a Telnyx account with API credentials configured in your LiveKit deployment.

Verify before relying:

- Whether Telnyx account credentials and configuration are required beyond standard LiveKit setup
- Specific Telnyx API version compatibility and any breaking changes in recent releases
- Performance characteristics and call concurrency limits when used with LiveKit Agents
