Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@ailoudfind where we discussed the API contract in yesterday's call"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Install
Needs Node.js 24 or newer.
npm install -g ailoudsetup installs the tools it drives -- ffmpeg, whisper.cpp, the models --
and doctor checks them:
ailoud setup
ailoud doctorNothing leaves your machine unless you choose a hosted model for summaries.

Update
ailoud self updateIt checks the registry first, so there is nothing to run before it. A snapshot moves only to a newer snapshot of the same version, or to a release.
Use it with an agent
ailoud mcp installIt configures one or more agents, at project or global scope:
Agent | Scopes |
| project, global |
| project, global |
| project, global |
| project, global |
| global only |
| global only |
It writes the MCP registration and a rules block the agent reads before its first call. The agent then gets these tools:
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' | ailoud mcp | jq -r '.result.tools[].name'list_recordings
list_untagged
list_tags
search_transcripts
get_transcript
list_speakers
list_reports
get_report
list_templates
job_status
annotate
import_recording
transcribe
summarize
create_template
delete_recording
delete_reportReading tools return matches and file paths, never a whole transcript in one call; deleting needs a second call carrying a confirmation token. See MCP.
