What this does

Speak AI transcribes your interviews, sales calls, research sessions, webinars, podcasts, and team meetings, then extracts AI insights like summaries, action items, sentiment, and themes.

This connector is built on MCP, the open standard AI assistants use to connect to apps, so it brings all of that into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Muse or any other MCP-compatible assistant. Once installed, you can ask:

• "Find the last 10 customer interviews that mention pricing, group the feedback by theme, and cite the source recordings."
• "Summarize this week's team meetings into decisions, action items, owners, and unresolved risks."
• "Pull exact customer quotes about onboarding friction from recent research calls and format them for a product brief."
• "Find a strong 30-second highlight from the latest webinar, create a clip, and export captions."

The AI does the searching, summarizing, and citing. Your recordings stay in your Speak AI workspace; the assistant only queries them through this connector.

Install (pick your tool)

Two paths to install: pick whichever feels easier. The one-click connect path approves access via a permission popup; the manual path pastes an API key into a header.

Don't know which one to pick? Install it in the AI assistant you already use. Every option below connects to the same Speak AI workspace.

Speak AI's connector address (paste this into your AI tool's connector settings; it's the same idea as pasting a Zoom link into your calendar): https://api.speakai.co/v1/mcp

Claude.ai (web)

1. Open claude.ai/settings/connectors
2. Click Add custom connector
3. Name it Speak AI and paste https://api.speakai.co/v1/mcp, then click Add
4. A permission popup asks you to log into Speak AI and click Allow
5. Done. Speak AI shows in your connector list with its tools ready to use. Open a new chat and ask about your recordings.

3. Add custom connector dialog: name and URL filled in.

5. Connected: Speak AI tools appear in your connector list.

Developer alternative: manual setup with an API key

Get a key at app.speakai.co/developers/apikeys, then in step 3 expand Advanced settings and add Authorization = Bearer before clicking Add.

Claude Desktop

1. Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
2. Paste https://api.speakai.co/v1/mcp
3. Click Add. A permission popup opens. Sign in to Speak AI and click Allow on the screen that appears.
4. Done.

Developer alternative: manual setup with an API key

Get a key at app.speakai.co/developers/apikeys, then in step 2 also expand Custom headers and add:

• Header name: Authorization
• Header value: Bearer

Then click Add.

ChatGPT

[Install Speak AI in ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6ac2ff7ad9b481918e5eef0343cf3c7b)

1. Open Speak AI in ChatGPT while signed in to ChatGPT
2. Click Install plugin
3. ChatGPT opens a new tab to Speak AI. Sign in (or click Confirm if already logged in) to authorize. You'll be redirected back; close the tab and return to ChatGPT.
4. Per-chat: open a chat, click the + menu, and enable Speak AI for that chat.

What each step looks like (screenshots)

3. Authorize on Speak AI: sign in or click Confirm if you're already signed in.

4. Connected: Speak AI now shows in your ChatGPT apps list.

Trouble connecting?

• Authorization tab doesn't show a "you're connected" page: if you land on the plain Speak AI dashboard with no confirmation, the authorization still went through. Close that tab and return to ChatGPT.
• Install keeps reopening the dashboard: fully close and reopen ChatGPT, then check Settings → Apps & Connectors. Speak AI should already be listed there.
• "No actions available" inside a chat: make sure you've enabled Speak AI from the per-chat + menu (step 4 above).
• Can't install plugins in your ChatGPT account: ask your ChatGPT admin to allow Speak AI, or add it as a custom connector instead: Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced, turn on Developer Mode, click Create, paste https://api.speakai.co/v1/mcp and choose OAuth.

Still stuck? Email success@speakai.co.

Claude Code (terminal)

Recommended: install from the official Claude Code plugin marketplace:

1. Add the official marketplace (one-time): /plugin marketplace add claude-plugins-official
2. Install the plugin: /plugin install speakai@claude-plugins-official
3. Activate it: /reload-plugins
4. Run the getting-started skill and paste your Speak AI API key. Generate one at app.speakai.co/developers/apikeys.

If /plugin install doesn't find Speak AI, refresh the local catalog with /plugin marketplace update claude-plugins-official and retry.

Developer alternative: manual HTTP transport

Skip the plugin and add the connector directly:

claude mcp add speakai --transport http --url https://api.speakai.co/v1/mcp

Claude Code will open an OAuth window for sign-in. To bypass OAuth and pass a Bearer token instead:

claude mcp add speakai --transport http --url https://api.speakai.co/v1/mcp \

--header "Authorization: Bearer $SPEAKAI_KEY"

Set SPEAKAI_KEY in your shell first, or paste your key inline. Generate a key at app.speakai.co/developers/apikeys.

Cursor

Click the button. Cursor registers itself automatically and opens the permission popup. Sign in to Speak AI and click Allow.

Developer alternative: manual setup with an API key

Use the manual stdio setup in the Developer reference at the bottom of this README.

VS Code

Click the button. VS Code registers itself automatically and opens the permission popup. Sign in to Speak AI and click Allow.

Developer alternative: manual setup with an API key

Use the manual stdio setup in the Developer reference at the bottom of this README.

Windsurf

Windsurf connects to the remote server over HTTP through its MCP config file. Follow the steps at docs.speakai.co/mcp/setup/windsurf.

Muse

Muse, Meta's personal AI assistant, connects with one-click OAuth and no API key. Follow the steps at docs.speakai.co/mcp/setup/muse.

OpenClaw / ClawHub

Speak AI is published as a skill on ClawHub for OpenClaw-compatible agents.

1. Visit the Speak AI skill page on ClawHub
2. Follow the install instructions for your agent, for example clawhub install speakai from the ClawHub CLI
3. Set your SPEAK_API_KEY environment variable. Generate one at app.speakai.co/developers/apikeys.

ChatGPT (API / Responses)

For developers calling the Responses API directly. Pass the bearer token in the tool config:

{

"tools": [ { "type": "mcp", "server_url": "https://api.speakai.co/v1/mcp", "authorization": "Bearer YOUR_SPEAK_API_KEY" } ] }

Get a key at app.speakai.co/developers/apikeys.

Any other MCP client

Any assistant that supports remote MCP servers can connect. Add https://api.speakai.co/v1/mcp as a remote (Streamable HTTP) server, then either approve the Speak AI permission popup (OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration) or send a Speak AI API key as Authorization: Bearer . All setup guides: docs.speakai.co/mcp.

Privacy & data

When you click Allow on the permission popup (or paste your Speak AI API key into your AI assistant), you're authorizing that AI assistant to read and modify your Speak AI workspace on your behalf: including media files, transcripts, and AI insights.

• Your recordings stay in your Speak AI workspace. They are not copied or stored by Anthropic or OpenAI.
• The AI assistant only sees the specific data it requests for the question you asked.
• When you approve the permission popup, Speak AI creates an API key in your account that is linked to that assistant and used only for its requests. You never need to create or paste one yourself. Revoking the connection also revokes that key.
• You can disconnect at any time by either removing the connector inside your AI assistant, revoking the connection at api.speakai.co/v1/oauth/connections, or rotating/revoking your API key at app.speakai.co/developers/apikeys.

For questions about data handling, see speakai.co/privacy or email success@speakai.co.

What you can do once installed

Speak AI ships tools for media, transcripts, AI chat, automations, voice agents and more that your AI assistant can call. You don't need to memorize them; your AI assistant picks the right ones based on what you ask. Examples by category:
