What is the Circleback MCP server?

Hosted MCP server for Circleback that lets assistants search meetings, transcripts, action items, calendar events and email threads without leaving the chat. Exposed over MCP by the circleback mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

Hosted MCP server for Circleback that lets assistants search meetings, transcripts, action items, calendar events and email threads without leaving the chat.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • SearchMeetings — Locate meetings using keywords, a date range, tags, an attendee or an email domain
  • ReadMeetings — Pull the detail for specific meetings — notes, attendees, action items, insights, tags and duration
  • SearchTranscripts — Search across every transcript in the workspace and get back matches with timestamps
  • GetTranscriptsForMeetings — Fetch complete transcripts for one or more meetings, with speaker labels and timestamps
  • SearchActionItems — Find action items by keyword, pending/done status, assignee, tag or date range
  • SearchCalendarEvents — Search past and upcoming calendar events including attendees, meeting links and join status
  • SearchEmails — Search connected mailboxes for threads by keyword, sender, recipient or date
  • FindProfiles — Look up a person by name to see their profile and interaction history across meetings
  • FindCompanies — Look up a company by name or domain to get its domain and related meetings
  • ListTags — List every tag in the workspace, useful as a filter for other searches
  • SearchSupportArticles — Search Circleback's own support documentation for how-to guidance

Adding it to your client

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Configuration

A Circleback account with recorded meetings, plus an MCP client that supports authenticated Streamable HTTP (Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex or Raycast).

When to reach for it

Plenty of planning and project tracking servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Circleback's toolset — SearchMeetings, ReadMeetings, SearchTranscripts and 8 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Circleback rather than a third party, which usually means auth handling and breaking changes are dealt with faster.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Caveats

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • With 11 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Circleback.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the circleback mcp server does with a few real requests.

What you can do with it

Rebuild account history before a call

Ask the assistant to gather every meeting with a customer's domain over the last two quarters, then summarise commitments and unresolved objections from the transcripts. What used to be manual archaeology becomes one prompt.

Chase down open follow-ups

Query action items by assignee and pending status across a date range to produce a stand-up-ready list, complete with the meeting each item came from.

Settle a 'who said what' dispute

Transcript search returns the exact timestamped moment a decision was voiced, so you can quote the source rather than argue from memory.

Prepare for tomorrow's calendar

Combine upcoming calendar event search with people and company lookups to brief yourself on every attendee and the last thing you discussed with them.

How to install the Circleback MCP server

claude mcp add --transport http circleback https://circleback.ai/api/mcp

Configuration

A Circleback account with recorded meetings, plus an MCP client that supports authenticated Streamable HTTP (Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex or Raycast).

Example prompts to try

  • Find every meeting with acme.com in the last 90 days and list the commitments we made.
  • Which action items assigned to me are still pending, and which meeting did each come from?
  • Search my transcripts for where we discussed the pricing change and give me the exact quotes.
  • Brief me on tomorrow's calendar — who is attending and what did we last talk about with each of them?

Frequently asked questions

No. It is a remote server hosted by Circleback at https://circleback.ai/api/mcp, so there is no npm package to install and no local process to keep running. You add the URL to your MCP client, approve the OAuth prompt in your browser, and the tools become available immediately. Claude Code users can wire it up with a single `claude mcp add --transport http circleback https://circleback.ai/api/mcp`.
