Plaud MCP Server

Unofficial Plaud exporter for JSON-first bulk transcript and summary workflows, plus single-recording audio downloads. That is what the plaud mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

Export, sync, search, and de-duplicate Plaud recordings with speaker-labeled transcripts and optional AI summaries.

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: PLAUD_AUTH_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Getting it running

plaud on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

How it compares

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by GitHub Actions; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Things to watch

• 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.
• Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
• Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
