Quick-start overview of the Plaud MCP server — 11 tools, 4 prompts, 12 skill resources, session state, and elicitation. Points to domain skills for detailed usage.
You have access to 11 MCP tools, 4 prompts, and 12 skill resources for managing Plaud AI recordings, transcripts, and memory. Each tool returns structured JSON with next_steps guidance.
.mcp.json — authenticated via GitHub OAuth (automatic)ELEVENLABS_API_KEY env var — only needed for ElevenLabs transcription| Tool | Purpose | Skill |
|---|---|---|
find_recordings | Browse and filter recordings | recording-search |
get_recording | Full recording metadata | recording-search |
get_audio_url | Presigned download URL (5min expiry) |
| recording-search |
transcribe | ElevenLabs transcript (cached or live) | transcription |
get_content | AI summary or meeting notes | transcription |
trigger_processing | Plaud server-side AI processing | transcription |
get_account_info | Account profile and membership | -- |
get_processing_status | AI processing queue status | -- |
list_languages | Supported language codes | transcription |
memory_search | Semantic search across transcripts | memory-search |
memory_ingest | Bulk index recordings into memory | bulk-operations |
MCP clients can discover and invoke these workflow templates:
| Prompt | Purpose | Parameters |
|---|---|---|
daily_briefing | Status overview — recent recordings, queue, memory | None |
analyze_transcript | Deep analysis of a recording | file_ref |
search_memory | Guided dual-path search | query, time_range (default "7d") |
bulk_summary | Summarize multiple recordings | count (default 5) |
All tools accepting file_ref support three formats:
| Format | Example |
|---|---|
| Full ID | 4f757af256ecba4fab502739c122dc78 |
| Short prefix | 4f75 |
| Row number | 3 (from last find_recordings) |
Row numbers persist across tool calls within a session — call find_recordings once, then use row numbers in subsequent transcribe, get_content, etc. calls.
Tools that consume external credits prompt for confirmation via MCP elicitation:
transcribe — asks before calling ElevenLabs API (cached transcripts are free)memory_ingest(source="all") — asks before bulk operations that may trigger transcriptionsOlder MCP clients that don't support elicitation skip the prompt and proceed directly.
The MCP server exposes plugin skills as MCP resources — any client can discover and read them without installing the plugin:
