Query meeting database from your terminal

The `ask_fred` tool lets you run natural language queries against your meeting history directly from the command line. Claude Code pipes these queries to the API and outputs the exact answers into your terminal session. You can search for technical specs discussed last week. Claude Code formats the query, calls the tool, and lets you grep or redirect the output to local files for further processing.

Automate audio transcription pipelines via CLI

The `upload_audio` tool allows Claude Code to upload local audio files for transcription directly from your terminal. This fits into cron jobs, shell scripts, or CI/CD pipelines that process call recordings automatically. Once the upload is complete, your CLI agent tracks the transcription status and alerts you when the text is ready for analysis or deployment.

Manage webhook configurations with this MCP Server

The `list_webhooks` tool retrieves active webhook endpoints, letting Claude Code audit your meeting integration pipelines from the shell. You can check which servers receive live meeting events without opening a browser. The agent inspects the active endpoints and verifies that your backend services are correctly configured to receive post-meeting updates.
