Connect Your Meeting Intelligence to Any AI Tool

February 11, 2026

Your meeting intelligence should not be locked inside a single application. The decisions, context, and knowledge captured in your meetings are useful everywhere: while you are writing code, drafting documents, planning sprints, or responding to customers. Today we are launching MCP support for Karnyx, making your meeting data available in any AI tool that supports the Model Context Protocol.

What is the Model Context Protocol?

The Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is an open standard that allows AI applications to connect to external data sources and tools. Think of it as a universal adapter between AI assistants and the services they need to access. Instead of every AI tool building custom integrations with every data source, MCP provides a single protocol that any tool can implement.

MCP is already supported by a growing ecosystem of AI tools including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others. By implementing an MCP server, Karnyx makes your meeting data available to all of them simultaneously. One integration, universal access.

Why MCP Matters for Meeting Intelligence

Meeting intelligence is most valuable when it shows up at the point of work, not when you have to context-switch to a separate app to look something up. MCP enables this by making your meeting data available as context in whatever tool you are already using.

A developer writing code in Cursor can ask about the API design discussion from last week's architecture review without leaving their editor. A product manager drafting a spec in Claude Desktop can pull in the exact customer feedback from the last three discovery calls. A sales rep preparing a proposal can reference every prior conversation with the prospect, all without opening Karnyx directly.

Available MCP Tools

The Karnyx MCP server exposes four core tools that map to the primary capabilities of the platform:

`search_meetings`

Semantic search across all your meetings. Pass a natural language query and get back matching meetings with relevant transcript excerpts, summaries, and metadata. Supports date ranges, participant filters, and topic filtering.

`get_transcript`

Retrieve the full transcript for a specific meeting, with speaker attribution and timestamps. Useful when you need to reference the exact words spoken in a conversation.

`run_lens`

Execute any Karnyx Lens on a meeting or set of meetings from within your AI tool. Run a Sales Debrief, generate a Weekly Digest, or apply a custom Lens — all from the command line or an AI chat.

`ask_the_chief`

The full Ask the Chief conversational AI, accessible as an MCP tool. Ask any question about your meeting history and get cited, contextual answers with links back to source meetings.

Example Workflows

Here are some of the ways our early adopters are using Karnyx through MCP:

While coding in Cursor, asking Claude about the API design discussion from the last architecture review. The AI pulls the exact decisions and constraints discussed, including who made each call and why.
In Claude Desktop, generating a weekly status report by pulling in the Weekly Digest Lens across all project meetings. The AI formats the output as a structured document ready for distribution.
During sprint planning, asking the chief what the team committed to last sprint and what carried over. The AI cross-references standup and planning meetings to give a complete picture.
While drafting a customer proposal, pulling in every prior conversation with that company to ensure the proposal addresses their specific concerns and references past discussions by name.

Meeting intelligence is most powerful when it meets you where you work, not the other way around. MCP makes that possible.

Setting Up MCP

Getting started with the Karnyx MCP server takes just a few steps. First, generate an API key from your Karnyx Settings page under the Developer section. Then, add the Karnyx MCP server to your AI tool's configuration.

For Claude Desktop, add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "karnyx": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@karnyx/mcp-server",
        "--api-key",
        "YOUR_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Once configured, restart your AI tool and you will see the Karnyx tools available in the tool list. The MCP server handles authentication, caching, and rate limiting automatically. Your meeting data is accessed through the same permission model as the main Karnyx app, so users can only query meetings they have access to.

Set Up MCP Today

The Karnyx MCP server is available now for all users. Generate your API key, configure your preferred AI tool, and start bringing your meeting intelligence into every workflow. Your meetings are full of decisions, context, and knowledge that should not be trapped in a single app. MCP sets them free.
