Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Search, read, and create speech-to-text transcripts on-device with the Whisper Notes Mac app.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

The maker has not listed install details in the registry. See the maker’s README below.

What it can do

Common questions

Is Whispernotes safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code.

What can I use instead?

Whisper Notes MCP Server & CLI

MCP server and command-line access to Whisper Notes — on-device speech-to-text for Mac and iPhone. Claude and any MCP client can search your transcript history, read transcripts (plain, timestamped, or speaker-labeled), and transcribe audio or video files.

100% on-device. The server speaks over a local Unix socket (0600 permissions) — no open ports, no network interface, no cloud. Your audio and transcripts never leave your Mac.

The MCP server is built into the Whisper Notes Mac app — there is nothing to npx or pip install. This repository is its documentation and registry home. Canonical docs live at whispernotes.app/cli-mcp (agent-readable markdown: whispernotes.app/cli-mcp.md).

Set up

  1. Download Whisper Notes for Mac 1.5.5 or later — Direct Download (DMG) version (the Mac App Store build does not include the Local API). macOS 14+, Apple Silicon.
  2. Open the app → Settings → Integrations → toggle on Local CLI & MCP.
  3. Click Install CLI in the same section — this puts whispernotes (and the wn shorthand, when that name is free) in your terminal.

Connect Claude or any MCP client

Claude Code — one line:

claude mcp add whispernotes -- whispernotes mcp

Claude Desktop — add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, then restart Claude Desktop:

{

"mcpServers": { "whispernotes": { "command": "/usr/local/bin/whispernotes", "args": ["mcp"] } } }

Use the full path from which whispernotes — GUI apps don't read your shell's PATH. Any other local MCP client (Cursor, etc.) works the same way: command whispernotes, args ["mcp"]. Transport is stdio; there is no HTTP endpoint.

Then just ask:

  • "Read my last five transcripts and tell me what I should follow up on."
  • "Find the meeting where we discussed the invoice, and draft a reply email."
  • "Transcribe ~/Desktop/podcast.mp3 and pull out every action item."

MCP tools

ToolParametersReturns
list_transcriptslimit (default 20) · sourceRecent transcripts with ids, dates, titles
search_transcriptsquery (required) · limitFull-text matches with snippets
get_transcriptid (required) · timestamps · speakers · max_chars · offsetOne transcript's text
get_latest_transcripttimestamps · speakersYour most recent transcript
transcribe_filepath (required)Transcribes an audio or video file, saves it to history
list_models—Installed models and which one is active

Long recordings are paged: when a transcript exceeds max_chars, the response ends with an explicit truncation marker telling the agent which offset to continue from — hour-long meetings never overflow a context window.

CLI

The same binary is a full command-line tool:

$ whispernotes status

WhisperNotes 1.5.5 (340) · SenseVoice Small · ready · 3081 notes

languagelist · select List or switch transcription language — choices follow the active model
mcp—Run the MCP server on stdio
version · help—CLI version · usage

Results go to stdout, progress and errors to stderr — safe to pipe or redirect. --json always emits a single JSON object or array. whispernotes help prints the full usage; a misused command replies with its exact usage line. wn is a convenience alias — scripts and agents should call whispernotes, which always exists.

Privacy & security

  • Transport is a Unix domain socket at ~/Library/Application Support/WhisperNotes/api.sock with 0600 permissions — only your macOS user account can connect. No TCP port, no network interface, unreachable from any other machine.
  • Off by default: nothing is served until you enable the toggle in Settings.
  • MCP clients like Claude ask for your approval before each tool call.
  • Transcription runs on-device (Parakeet V3, Whisper, SenseVoice on the Neural Engine / MLX); results are stored only in your local history.
