MCP support
Roomtone exposes meeting-note tools to MCP clients, including listing and reading notebooks, adding sources, generating notes, asking questions, and retrieving transcripts. It offers a remote OAuth connection and a stdio server that uses an API key.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMERoomtone MCP
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI agents — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and any other MCP client — work with your Roomtone meeting notes.
Agents can list your meetings, read a note's write-up, add a source you already have (a YouTube link or pasted text), chat with what was said, and pull the raw transcript. Recording a meeting itself always happens in the Roomtone app — this server only reads and adds to what already exists.
Getting an API key
- Open the Roomtone web app and go to Settings → API keys.
- Create a key — it starts with
ak_and is shown once, so copy it right away.

Setup
Claude.ai (Connectors, no install)
Claude.ai connects directly to a remote MCP server over OAuth — this npm package (stdio) isn't involved. In Claude.ai: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, and enter:
https://mcp.roomtone.io/mcp
Claude opens a sign-in prompt for your Roomtone account and asks you to approve access —
no API key needed. This remote server is implemented directly in the Roomtone backend
(backend/app/mcp_server.py + backend/app/oauth_provider.py), sharing the same 7 tools.
Claude Code
claude mcp add roomtone -e ROOMTONE_API_KEY=ak_... -- npx -y roomtone-mcp

Environment variables
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
ROOMTONE_API_KEY | Yes | Your Roomtone API key (ak_...). The server exits with an error if it is missing. |
ROOMTONE_API_URL | No | API base URL. Defaults to https://meganotes-api.fly.dev. |
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_notebooks | List every meeting (id, title, emoji, sources_count, updated_at). |
get_notebook | Get one meeting with its sources (id, type, url, status) and its generated note. |
create_notebook | Start a meeting note with a title and optional emoji. Reports a friendly message if the free-plan limit is reached. |
add_source | Add a source: youtube (by URL, transcribed asynchronously) or text (stored immediately). |
generate_note | Generate or regenerate the write-up (only summary is supported). Runs in the background — read the result via get_notebook. |
chat_with_sources | Ask a question answered from the meeting's transcript. |
get_transcript | Get the raw transcript text of a single source. |
Development
Requires Node.js 18+.
npm install
npm run build # tsc → dist/
ROOMTONE_API_KEY=ak_... node dist/index.js
The server speaks MCP over stdio. On startup it prints a status line to stderr and then waits for JSON-RPC messages on stdin.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
