minutes

Start recording audio with call-aware preflight. When a known call app is active, Minutes can infer call intent and block silent mic-only call captures unless explicitly allowed. Note: this server does not listen to audio content. Recordings are stopped by invoking stop_recording after the user types a request in chat — never promise the user they can speak a 'stop recording' voice command. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-start_recording

Stop the current recording and process it (transcribe, diarize, summarize). Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-stop_recording

Check if a recording is currently in progress. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-get_status

List background processing jobs for recent recordings, including queued, transcript-ready, needs-review, failed, and completed work. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-list_processing_jobs

List recent meetings and voice memos. Restricted meetings are excluded. An override requires both an operator launch grant and include_restricted=true, and is durably audited. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-list_meetings

Search meeting transcripts and voice memos. Restricted meetings are excluded. An override requires both an operator launch grant and include_restricted=true, and is durably audited. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-search_meetings

Summarize meeting-adjacent desktop context bound to one exact normal meeting source. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-activity_summary

Search desktop-context events bound to one exact normal meeting source. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-search_context

Show the local rewind bound to one exact normal meeting source. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-get_moment

Retrieve up to three verified PNG screenshots bound to one exact normal meeting source, optionally nearest a timestamp. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-get_screen_context

Flag conflicting decisions and stale commitments across meetings using structured intent data. Meetings designated `sensitivity: restricted` are always excluded from this report. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-consistency_report

Get a relationship profile derived from live, policy-authorized meeting snapshots within the supported corpus bounds. Restricted meetings are excluded unless an operator launch grant plus include_restricted=true is durably audited. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-get_person_profile

Research a topic across policy-authorized meetings within the supported corpus bounds. Restricted meetings are excluded. An override requires an operator launch grant plus include_restricted=true and is durably audited. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-research_topic

Get a full meeting transcript with speaker overlays. A restricted meeting returns a stub. Full access requires an operator launch grant plus include_restricted=true and is durably audited. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-get_meeting

On macOS and Linux, process a bounded WAV file from the Minutes inbox or Downloads through the transcription pipeline. Compressed/private containers and Windows fail closed without reading audio. Retained meeting-library audio is unavailable to agent surfaces. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-process_audio

Add a note to the current active recording. Notes are timestamped and included in that recording's meeting summary. Existing meeting files cannot be mutated from this assistant tool. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-add_note

List open and stale action items and explicit intent commitments from live meeting frontmatter. Optionally filter by person. Answers: 'What did I promise Sarah?' or 'What's overdue?' Meetings designated `sensitivity: restricted` never enter this live-source view. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-track_commitments

Show contacts with relationship scores, meeting frequency, and losing-touch alerts from the bounded process-private graph projection. Restricted meetings never enter the projection. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-relationship_map

Start dictation mode. Speak naturally — text accumulates across pauses and the combined result is written when dictation ends. Runs until stop_dictation is called or silence timeout. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-start_dictation

Stop the current dictation session. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-stop_dictation

List enrolled voice profiles for speaker identification. Shows who has been enrolled, sample count, and model version. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-list_voices

Compatibility registration for speaker confirmation. Agent-controlled mutation is intentionally unavailable; confirm in the Minutes app or a human CLI session so identity changes cannot race policy authorization. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-confirm_speaker

Append attributed agent commentary as an agent.annotation event. This never edits meeting markdown/frontmatter and is rejected unless the agent_id is allowed in ~/.minutes/agents.allow. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-add_agent_annotation

Compatibility name only: unavailable in MCP because an annotation's source pointer and body are both author-supplied, so revalidating the pointer cannot bound what the body discloses. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-get_agent_annotations

Query structured insights extracted from meetings, decisions, commitments and questions with confidence levels. Each insight records a path to the meeting it was derived from; that path is resolved to a meeting in the live corpus, and the resolved meeting is re-read from disk and re-verified against the live sensitivity policy before the insight is released. A path that cannot be resolved into this corpus is withheld. Released records carry the source title and path as they were recorded, which may name a location outside this corpus. Withheld records are reported as a partial view rather than an empty one. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-get_meeting_insights

Start the independent Minutes real-time copilot for a goal. This launches `minutes copilot start`; MCP does not run model inference, own capture, or need to stay connected for the engine to produce nudges. The stdout surface is recommended for complete structured nudge observation. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-start_copilot

Request that the active Minutes copilot stop. This invokes `minutes copilot stop` and never stops recording or live transcription. Calling it while no copilot is active returns a calm not-active status. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-stop_copilot

Read the current operational copilot state from the strict `minutes copilot status --json` contract. This is observation only and returns a clear Off/not-active payload when no engine is running. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-copilot_status

Read nudges observed from the active real CLI copilot stream. Use cursor (or a numeric since value) for lossless delta reads; since also accepts durations such as '5m'/'30s' and ISO timestamps. MCP never generates nudges itself. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-read_copilot_nudges

Start real-time transcription. If a recording is already running, it already includes a live transcript — use read_live_transcript to read it. Runs until stop is called. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-start_live_transcript

Read the live transcript — works during both recordings and live transcript sessions. Use 'since' to get new lines after a cursor (line number) or time window (e.g., '5m', '30s'). Use 'status' mode to check if a session is active. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-read_live_transcript

Extract facts from a meeting and update the knowledge base (person profiles, log, index). Requires [knowledge] to be configured in config.toml. Uses structured frontmatter data only by default (zero hallucination risk). Set engine to 'agent' for richer LLM-based extraction. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-ingest_meeting

Re-run the AI pass (summary, action items, decisions) on an edited meeting or memo. Preview by default: returns the regenerated content WITHOUT writing — note the summarization model IS still invoked (cost applies even in preview). Set apply=true to write the file (a timestamped backup is created and derived views — graph, search index, vault, QMD — refresh automatically). User edits outside AI-owned sections are never touched; checked action items and decision notes are carried forward by the merge. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-resummarize_meeting

Reconcile persistent meeting derivatives and show the privacy-safe knowledge-base status. This cleanup/status tool cannot create or register an external index. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-knowledge_status
