What is the Minutes MCP server?

MCP server for minutes — conversation memory for AI assistants. Works with Claude Desktop, Mistral Vibe, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP client. Exposed over MCP by the minutes mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

Agents have run logs. Humans have conversations. minutes captures the human side — the decisions, the intent, the context that agents need but can't observe — and makes it queryable. Record a meeting. Capture a voice memo on a walk. Dictate a thought at your cursor. Ask Claude "what did I promise Sarah?" — and get an answer.

Its toolset

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

  • CLI — brew tap silverstein/tap && brew install minutes
  • assignee — mat
  • text — Run pricing experiment at monthly billing with 10 advisors
  • Compromise — run experiment with 10 advisors at monthly billing
  • Dropbox — Record with any app → Share → Save to Dropbox → minutes-inbox/
  • Email — Email the recording to yourself → save attachment to watched folder
  • USB — Transfer directly
  • Setup — Export from Granola desktop app
  • Phone — Desktop
  • iPhoneMac
  • AndroidAny
  • AnyAny

Adding it to your client

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at minutes-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

When to reach for it

Among the team communication options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Minutes's toolset — CLI, assignee, text and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by GitHub Actions; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Minutes's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Caveats

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Minutes.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the minutes mcp server does with a few real requests.
