@seameet/mcp

The SeaMeet MCP server — let AI agents record, transcribe, and mine your meetings. One install works whether or not you have the desktop app, in Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Antigravity, Cursor, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot CLI, Windsurf, and any MCP client.

It picks the richest available backend automatically and exposes the union of both:

• Desktop mode — when the SeaMeet desktop app is running, agents get the full recorder toolset (start/stop recordings, screenshots, live transcript, AI artifacts, search). No auth; nothing leaves your machine.
• Cloud mode — when the app isn't there, agents read your synced library (recordings, transcripts, summaries) and manage webhooks over the network. Authorized by logging into the web app — no key copy/paste, works on a headless terminal.

tools/list returns the superset of whatever's available; call seameet_status any time to see the current mode(s).

What you can do

🎙️ Record & capture (desktop mode)

• Start a recording — microphone, screen, or screen + system audio — seameet_start_recording
• Stop — seameet_stop_recording · pause/resume audio-only — seameet_pause_recording / seameet_resume_recording
• Check recording status — seameet_recording_status · read the live transcript mid-recording — seameet_get_live_transcript
• Take a screenshot through SeaMeet — seameet_take_screenshot

📚 Work with recordings (desktop = local files · cloud = synced library)

• List recordings & screenshots — seameet_list_recordings · browse files in the save directory — seameet_list_files · app settings — seameet_get_settings
• Read generated artifacts (summary, transcript, SRT, chapters, action items, key decisions, screenshot OCR/description) — seameet_get_artifact
• Search across artifact text — seameet_search_text
• Fetch a recording's asset-bundle manifest — seameet_get_asset_bundle
• Rename a file — seameet_rename_file · save a new artifact — seameet_save_artifact · regenerate a summary from a template — seameet_regenerate_summary · list templates — seameet_list_templates

☁️ Cloud library (cloud mode)

• List recent synced recordings — seameet_list_recent_recordings · fetch summary / transcript / chapters / action items / key decisions — seameet_get_recording
• Get a temporary media stream/download URL — seameet_get_media_url
• Check storage usage — seameet_get_usage
• Manage outbound webhooks (signed deliveries on ai.ready / recording.synced) — seameet_create_webhook · seameet_list_webhooks · seameet_update_webhook · seameet_delete_webhook

🔌 Connection (any mode)

• Which modes are connected — seameet_status · disconnect cloud / switch accounts — seameet_logout

That's 17 desktop tools + 8 cloud tools (fetched live, so new releases appear automatically). A tool the current backend can't serve returns a clear, structured error instead of failing silently.

Install

Every client runs the same command — npx -y @seameet/mcp — only the config format differs. Full per-tool recipes: INSTALL.md (mirrored at app.seameet.ai/mcp/install.md).

Let your agent do it — already inside a coding agent? Paste:

Install the SeaMeet MCP server — fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seameet-ai/seameet-mcp/main/INSTALL.md, apply the section for whichever tool you're running in, and tell me how to reload.

Or pick your tool:

Tool	Fastest install
Claude Code	claude mcp add seameet -- npx -y @seameet/mcp
Codex CLI / IDE	codex mcp add seameet -- npx -y @seameet/mcp
GitHub Copilot CLI	copilot mcp add seameet -- npx -y @seameet/mcp
Cursor	Add to Cursor (one-click)
Claude Desktop	one-click .mcpb bundle — see below
Antigravity · OpenCode · anything else	see INSTALL.md

The generic block, accepted by most MCP clients:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "seameet": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@seameet/mcp"] }
  }
}

Requirements

• Node.js ≥ 18.
• For desktop mode: the SeaMeet desktop app installed and running — brew install --cask seameet-ai/tap/seameet (macOS) or winget install seameet (Windows). Needs v3.2.0+; an older running app reports app_outdated.
• Cloud mode is opt-in and needs no app — the first cloud tool call starts a one-time authorization (below).

Cloud authorization (one-time, no key copy/paste)

Cloud mode never activates unless you provide SEAMEET_API_KEY or complete the device flow. On the first cloud tool call with no key, the agent shows a short code + https://app.seameet.ai/link; you open it (signed in), click Authorize, and a read+write key is minted and cached at ~/.seameet/credentials.json. Silent thereafter; revoke any time under API keys on your account. To disconnect or switch accounts, call seameet_logout (or rm ~/.seameet/credentials.json).

Claude Desktop one-click bundle

manifest.json is an MCPB bundle manifest, so the server ships as a one-click Claude Desktop extension:

npm install && npm run build:mcpb   # → dist/seameet.mcpb

Install via Settings → Extensions → Advanced → Install extension… and pick dist/seameet.mcpb. Claude Desktop runs it with its own Node.js — no terminal needed. (The desktop app still needs to be installed + running for desktop mode.)

Claude Code plugin (adds a /seameet skill)

This repo doubles as a Claude Code plugin marketplace. The plugin registers the MCP server and a /seameet skill that teaches the core workflows (record + transcribe, capture a bug report, mine meetings for action items):

claude plugin marketplace add seameet-ai/seameet-mcp
claude plugin install seameet@seameet

Try it

Just ask in plain language — the agent picks the right tool (and the right backend). A few starters:

Record my screen for 2 minutes, then give me the transcript.

What were the action items from my last meeting?

Take a screenshot and describe what's on it.

<details> <summary><b>Desktop mode</b> — a full recording session (app running)</summary>

• "What are my SeaMeet settings — where does it save recordings?"
• "List my summary templates."
• "List my local recordings." · "List the files in my SeaMeet save folder."
• "What's my current recording status?"
• "Start recording my microphone." (or: "record my whole screen")
• "Check the recording status now."
• "Show me the live transcript so far."
• "Pause the recording." · "Resume it."
• "Take a screenshot."
• "Stop the recording."
• "List my recordings again — the new one should be on top."
• "Give me the summary and transcript of that recording."
• "Regenerate its summary using one of my templates."
• "Search my recordings for the word '<keyword>'."
• "Rename that recording to 'MCP dual-mode test'."
• "Get the full asset bundle for it."
• "Save this text as a note/artifact on that recording: <text>."

</details>

<details> <summary><b>Cloud mode</b> — your synced library (no app needed)</summary>

• "List my 5 most recent SeaMeet recordings." · "What did I record in the last 7 days?"
• "Give me the summary of the top recording."
• "Now show its action items and key decisions."
• "Pull the full speaker-labeled transcript for it, and its chapters."
• "Get me a download/stream link for that recording's media."
• "How much SeaMeet storage am I using versus my quota?"
• "Create a webhook to https://webhook.site/<your-id> that fires when AI results are ready."
• "List my webhooks with their delivery health and signing secret."
• "Update that webhook to also fire on recording.synced."
• "Delete that webhook."
• "What's my SeaMeet connection status?"
• "Disconnect my SeaMeet cloud account." (forgets the cached key; the next cloud call re-authorizes)

</details>

How it works

A thin stdio↔HTTP proxy. The SeaMeet desktop app hosts a localhost-only bridge (127.0.0.1:3741, fallbacks 3742/3743) authenticated with a per-launch random secret; on startup it writes credentials to $TMPDIR/seameet-mcp-bridge-<username>.json (mode 0600), which this server reads and proxies (tools/list → GET /mcp-bridge/tools, tools/call → POST /mcp-bridge/call-tool). Nothing leaves your machine in desktop mode. Cloud mode talks to the hosted SeaMeet worker over HTTPS with your minted key.

Full tool reference (for LLMs): seameet.ai/llms.txt — also served locally at http://localhost:3741/llms.txt while the app runs.

Errors are machine-readable

Tool failures return structured JSON your agent can branch on:

{ "success": false, "error": { "code": "app_not_running", "tool": "seameet_start_recording",
  "message": "The SeaMeet desktop app is not running.",
  "install": { "macos": "brew install --cask seameet-ai/tap/seameet", "windows": "winget install seameet" },
  "hint": "Ask the user to install and launch it, then retry." } }

Code	Meaning
app_not_running	Desktop app is closed — launch it (payload carries install commands + downloadUrl)
app_outdated	App is running but too old — update to requiredVersion (don't reinstall the same build)
auth_required	Cloud tool needs authorization — the payload has a user_code + the /link URL
app_not_ready	App is starting up — retry in a few seconds
invalid_request	A required parameter is missing/invalid — re-check the tool schema
path_forbidden	filePath must be inside the SeaMeet save directory
not_found	File or artifact doesn't exist — discover it with a list/search tool first
timeout	App didn't respond in time — check status, retry once
unknown_tool	Includes did_you_mean suggestions

Configuration (rarely needed)

Env var	Purpose
SEAMEET_API_KEY	Cloud API key (smk_…) — skips the device authorization flow
SEAMEET_MCP_CREDENTIALS_FILE	Explicit path to the desktop-bridge credentials file
SEAMEET_BRIDGE_PORT + SEAMEET_BRIDGE_SECRET	Bypass the bridge credentials file entirely
SEAMEET_CLOUD_CREDENTIALS_FILE	Where the minted cloud key is cached (default ~/.seameet/credentials.json)
SEAMEET_REMOTE_URL / SEAMEET_DEVICE_URL	Override the cloud endpoints (default: production)

Development

npm install
npm test             # credentials discovery + end-to-end stdio client against a fake bridge + fake cloud
npm run build:mcpb   # validate manifest.json + pack the Claude Desktop extension
