Setting Up MCP for Claude Code

​
Prerequisites

​
Step 1: Create an API Key

Go to Settings → API Keys and create a new key named “Claude Code”.

​
Step 2: Add MCP Configuration

Add the following to your .mcp.json file (in your project root or home directory): 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "menutes": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@menutes/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "MENUTES_API_KEY": "mnts_your_key_here",
        "MENUTES_BASE_URL": "https://app.menutes.com"
      }
    }
  }
}
For local development, set MENUTES_BASE_URL to http://localhost:3000.

​
Step 3: Use It

Open Claude Code and try:
  • “List my recent meetings”
  • “What was discussed in the last standup?”
  • “Get the transcript from meeting about the API redesign”
  • “Summarize yesterday’s meeting”
Claude Code will automatically use the Menutes MCP tools to fetch your meeting data.

​
Troubleshooting

Make sure npx is available in your PATH. Try running npx @menutes/mcp-server directly to check for errors.
Verify your API key is correct and not revoked. Create a new key in Settings if needed.
The API only returns recordings you have access to. Make sure you have completed recordings in your account.
