What is the Plaud MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire voice-to-intelligence ecosystem with Plaud, the AI voice recorder. By connecting Plaud to your agent, you transform complex recording management into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list your files, retrieve AI-generated transcripts, and audit meeting summaries without you ever touching a dashboard. Whether you are capturing client meetings, lectures, or personal notes, your agent acts as a real-time intelligence assistant, ensuring your spoken data is always accessible and organized.
What you can do
- Recording Auditing — List all recordings in your account and retrieve detailed metadata for each, including creation dates.
- Intelligence Extraction — Query full transcripts and AI summaries for any recording instantly to capture key insights.
- Organization Management — List all folders and tags to keep your recording library structured and easy to browse.
- Data Governance — Update file names and autonomously delete recordings when they are no longer needed.
- Asset Access — Retrieve secure download URLs for your audio files to maintain local backups or share recordings.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Plaud Access Token and API Domain
3. Start managing your voice data through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Professionals — monitor meeting recordings and retrieve summaries straight from your workflow.
- Students — verify if lecture transcripts have been correctly generated and organized by the agent.
- Content Creators — perform rapid audits of voice notes and extract content ideas without manual dashboard logins.
- Operations Leads — automate recording querying to orchestrate cross-functional team intelligence smoothly.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Plaud Access Token?
Log in to web.plaud.ai, open DevTools (F12), go to Application > Local Storage, and look for tokenstr. Copy and paste it into the field below.
What is the Plaud API Domain?
It is the base URL for the Plaud API (e.g., https://api-euc1.plaud.ai). You can find it in your browser's Local Storage under plaud_user_api_domain.
Can the agent retrieve full AI summaries?
Yes. Use the get_summary tool with the File ID. Your agent will fetch the structured AI summary, including key points and action items.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
