Plaud MCP Server

Connect your Plaud Note recordings directly to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI client. Search, retrieve, and work with your meeting transcripts and AI summaries hands-free.

What It Does

This MCP server gives your AI assistant direct access to your Plaud recordings:

• List recordings — See all your recordings with dates, durations, and transcript status

• Get transcripts — Pull full speaker-diarized transcripts for any recording

• Get AI summaries — Retrieve Plaud's AI-generated meeting summaries

• Search — Find recordings by title/keyword

• Get recent — Quickly pull your most recent recordings with full transcripts

Setup (5 minutes)

1. Install dependencies

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/plaud-mcp.git
cd plaud-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Get your Plaud auth token

Plaud doesn't offer public API keys, so you'll grab your session token from the web app:

1. Open web.plaud.ai in Chrome

2. Sign in to your account

3. Open DevTools: Cmd+Option+J (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+J (Windows)

4. Click the Network tab

5. Refresh the page

6. Click any request to api.plaud.ai

7. In the request headers, find Authorization: Bearer eyJ...

8. Copy everything after Bearer — that's your token

3. Configure your token

cp .env.example .env

Open .env and paste your token:

PLAUD_TOKEN=eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIs...your_full_token_here

4. Connect to your AI client

Claude Code

claude mcp add plaud -- python /path/to/plaud-mcp/server.py

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plaud": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/plaud-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "PLAUD_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf / Other MCP Clients

Follow the same pattern — point to server.py as the command with your token as an env var.

5. Test it

Ask your AI: "List my recent Plaud recordings" or "What did I discuss in my last meeting?"

Token Refresh

Plaud tokens expire periodically. When you get auth errors, just repeat step 2 to grab a fresh token and update your .env file.
