Perplexity

Instant meeting context in Claude Desktop

Stop digging through your inbox for call details. Use `ask_fred` directly inside your chat to pull exact quotes, action items, or summaries from any recorded session. Your AI client interprets the transcript data immediately, meaning you spend zero time manually parsing long meeting logs. It just works.

Manage your meeting pipeline

Keep your workspace clean without leaving the interface. You can trigger `delete_transcript` or `update_meeting_title` via simple natural language requests. This MCP server handles the heavy lifting while you stay focused on the project. It removes the friction of switching tabs just to fix a mislabeled call.

Live call integration

Invite the bot to join your active discussions using `add_to_live_meeting` without interrupting your workflow. The server signals the bot to start listening the moment you need it. Once the call ends, the data is ready for analysis. You get a complete record synced directly into your local environment.

Yes, you can pass audio files directly to the `upload_audio` tool. The server processes the file and returns the transcribed text for your AI client to read.

Your data remains private and is only accessed when you explicitly invoke a tool. The MCP server acts as a secure pipe, ensuring that only your authorized queries reach the meeting platform.

The server doesn't store your chat history; it only fetches meeting data on demand. Any information retrieved via `get_transcript` is processed locally by your agent.
