Official Speak AI MCP Server — capture meetings, search thousands of recordings, run async voice and video surveys, create clips, and automate
Official Speak AI MCP Server — capture meetings, search thousands of recordings, run async voice and video surveys, create clips, and automate workflows from your AI assistant. That is what the speak mcp mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:
get_signed_upload_url — Get a pre-signed S3 URL for direct file uploadupload_media — Upload media from a URL — a direct/public file URL or a social/video link (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, Reddit, SoundCloud, …) resolvedupload_local_file — Upload a local file directly from diskupload_and_analyze — Upload media from a URL (direct file or social/video link, resolved automatically) and return its media_id immediately. Poll get_media_status untillist_media — List and search media files with filters, pagination, and optional inline data (transcripts, speakers, keywords) via include paramget_media_insights — Get AI insights — topics, sentiment, summaries, action itemsget_transcript — Get full transcript with speaker labels and timestampsget_captions — Get subtitle-formatted captions for a media fileupdate_transcript_speakers — Rename speaker labels in a transcriptbulk_update_transcript_speakers — Rename speaker labels across multiple media files in one call (max 500)get_media_status — Check processing status (pending → processed)update_media_metadata — Update name, description, tags, or folderThe server ships on npm as @speakai/mcp-server, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Configuration is passed through the environment: SPEAK_API_KEY, SPEAKAI_KEY, YOUR_SPEAK_API_KEY, SPEAK_ACCESS_TOKEN, SPEAK_BASE_URL. 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.
Among the developer tooling 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. Speak MCP's toolset — get_signed_upload_url, upload_media, upload_local_file and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by speakai; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
