Minutes meeting memory MCP server

OfficialLocal
Getnpmminutes-mcpsilverstein/minutes

Lets your AI assistant search and recall the meetings and voice memos you record with the Minutes app.

This server is part of Minutes, a free app that records and transcribes meetings on your computer. It runs on your machine, needs no sign-in, and gives your assistant tools to search past meetings and track what people promised.

It also lets the assistant start and stop recordings. It works through the Minutes command line tool, which the server tries to install if it is missing. Anything the assistant reads goes to whichever AI service you use, so choose what you share.

Good for

  • Anyone who records meetings and wants to ask an AI about them
  • Team leads tracking promises and decisions across calls
  • People who want meeting notes kept as local files

Install minutes MCP

Claude Code

  1. 1

    Copy this prompt.

    Add the minutes MCP server to Claude Code. Run this command:
    
    claude mcp add minutes -- npx -y minutes-mcp
    
    Then check that it loaded and tell me if I need to sign in or restart.
  2. 2

    Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Minutes app or CLI (tries to install it if missing).

This connects to the Minutes recorder on your computer. Install the Minutes desktop app or CLI first (brew install --cask silverstein/tap/minutes or cargo install minutes-cli). If the CLI is missing, the server tries to download or install it for you the first time you use a tool.

Permissions

medium risk · 5 things to watch

Medium risk

It can read your meeting transcripts and start recordings from your microphone. Share only what you are comfortable sending to your AI service, and watch for the first-run install of the Minutes command line tool.

What it can do

  • Read your data
  • Create and change things
  • Delete things
  • Read-only mode

Watch out for

  • Meeting transcripts go to your AI service

    Anything the assistant reads from a meeting is sent to the AI provider you use. The README says so, and meetings marked restricted are left out by default. github.com

  • It can start recording your microphone

    The recording tool starts audio capture on your computer. Stop it with the stop tool, and keep your client set to ask before each call. github.com

  • It may download and install software on first use

    If the Minutes CLI is missing, the server downloads a release binary from GitHub, then tries Homebrew, then cargo install. Install the app yourself first to avoid this. github.com

  • The summary tool can overwrite a meeting file

    resummarize_meeting only previews unless you set apply, and then it makes a backup before it writes. github.com

  • The optional web mode has no sign-in

    Opt-in HTTP mode binds to 127.0.0.1 only and has no authentication. Leave it off unless you need it. github.com

Security advisories

No published security advisories as of Nov 1, 2026.

Questions

Is the Minutes MCP server official?

Yes. It ships in the Minutes project's own repository, made by the same author as the Minutes app it connects to.

Do I need an API key or account?

No. It runs on your computer and has no sign-in. You do need the Minutes app or CLI, which the server tries to install for you if it is missing.

Where do my recordings go?

They are saved as Markdown files in ~/meetings/ on your computer. The README says capture, transcription and storage run locally. What the assistant reads is sent to your AI service.

Can I keep a meeting private from the assistant?

Yes. Meetings marked restricted are left out of searches and lists. Showing them needs an override you set when you start the server, and each override is logged.

Can it record my meetings?

Yes. It can start and stop microphone recording, and it has a check for call apps. It also transcribes WAV files in the Minutes inbox or Downloads folder.

Can it run read-only?

No read-only switch is documented. Most tools only read, but the recording, note and summary tools write files.

Does it work on Windows?

The process_audio tool is refused on Windows. Other tools depend on the Minutes CLI, which the server also tries to install on Windows.

Is the tool list complete?

Yes for version 0.31.1: it registers 34 tools. Two of them, get_agent_annotations and confirm_speaker, are placeholders that report they are unavailable.
