Core status of the Asterisk server: version, uptime, active calls and calls processed. Use this first to confirm the PBX is reachable before running other Asterisk tools.

Every channel currently up on the PBX, with caller ID, state, bridge, duration and the dialplan location it is sitting in. This is the tool for 'what calls are live right now'.

PJSIP endpoints with their device state and how many contacts are registered. Use this to answer 'is extension 1001 registered' or 'which phones are offline'. Falls back to chan_sip peers on older installations.

Dump the dialplan for a context, or for one extension within a context. Useful for tracing where a call would go before placing it.

Run a command through the Asterisk CLI and return its raw output. In the default read-only mode only inspection commands such as 'core show', 'pjsip show' and 'queue show' are permitted. Set PBX_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE=true to lift that restriction.

Core status of the FreeSWITCH server: version, uptime, current and maximum sessions. Use this first to confirm the switch is reachable before running other FreeSWITCH tools.

Every call leg currently up on the switch, as returned by 'show channels'. This is the tool for 'what calls are live right now' on FreeSWITCH.

Registered SIP users on a Sofia profile, with contact URI, user agent and expiry. Use this to answer 'is this extension registered' or 'which devices dropped off'.

State of every Sofia SIP profile and gateway, including whether trunks are registered upstream. This is where to look when outbound calls fail but the switch itself is healthy.

Run a command through the FreeSWITCH event socket and return its raw output. In the default read-only mode only inspection commands such as 'status', 'show' and 'sofia status' are permitted. Set PBX_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE=true to lift that restriction.
