Roomtone in Claude Code

Roomtone now ships an MCP server — a small, standard interface that lets an AI agent read your meetings the same way you would: list what's there, open one up, ask it a question, pull the transcript. Claude Code is the first place to try it, because setup is one line.

Setup

Get an API key from Settings → API keys in the Roomtone web app (shown once, starts with ak_), then run:

claude mcp add roomtone -e ROOMTONE_API_KEY=ak_... -- npx -y roomtone-mcp

That's it. Claude Code now has seven tools it can call against your Roomtone account, on top of whatever else it's doing in your terminal.

What Claude Code can do with it

  • List every meeting in your account, with titles and how many sources each one has
  • Open a meeting and read its write-up — the summary, decisions and action items
  • Ask a question about a meeting and get an answer grounded in what was actually said, not a guess
  • Pull the raw transcript behind any meeting
  • Add a source you already have — a YouTube link or pasted text — to an existing meeting note
  • Start a new meeting note, and trigger the write-up once a source has finished processing

One boundary worth being upfront about: nothing here can start a recording. The notetaker joining a Zoom, Meet or Teams call, or recording the room from your phone, still only happens from the Roomtone app itself — this is a read-and-organize layer on top of meetings you've already captured, not a way to trigger new ones.

It's genuinely useful for the boring-but-real case: "pull up what we agreed on the pricing call last week and paste the relevant part into this PR description" — without alt-tabbing out of the terminal to go find it.

The npm package is roomtone-mcp, and it's the same stdio server that works with Claude Desktop, Cursor and any other MCP client that reads a local config file — full instructions are on the MCP page and the new developers page.
