Speak AI MCP

Ask an AI-powered question about your media using Speak AI's AI Chat. Supports querying a single file, multiple files, entire folders, or your whole workspace. Pass mediaIds for specific files, folderIds for entire folders, or omit both to search across all media. Use assistantType to get specialized responses (e.g., 'researcher' for academic analysis, 'sales' for deal insights). To continue a conversation, pass the promptId from a previous response. Returns a promptId — save it to continue the conversation with follow-up questions. Set analysisMediaId + analysisInput to have the model listen to the audio or watch the video instead of reading the transcript alone. That is a premium feature and costs credits per hour of media — call get_analysis_quote first to check eligibility and price.

High-level automation builder: create (or update) a Speak automation from a friendly spec without knowing the wire format. Accepts folder/custom-field NAMES (resolved to ids; missing folders are auto-created), payload.<path> shorthand for webhook tokens, and simple step types (filter, branch, upload, ai_chat, translate, notify, call_webhook). For inbound-webhook automations the result includes the receive URL and mappable payload tokens. Prefer this over create_automation unless you need raw control.

Set the folder scope for multiple automations at once. Pass an empty folderIds array to remove the folder restriction (run on all folders).

Move multiple media files to a folder in a single operation. Use this for batch reorganization instead of updating media one by one.

Activate or deactivate multiple automations at once.

Normalise speaker names that are ALREADY correct across multiple media files — for example changing "Frederik S." to "Frederik" everywhere. Applies the same mapping to every specified media file. NOT a way to identify a speaker across a project: neither the numeric id nor a default label such as "Speaker 1" refers to the same person in different files, because speakers are numbered per file in order of appearance. Renaming "Speaker 1" across many files will label a different person in each one. Identify the speakers in each file first (get_transcript, or an identify-speakers automation), then use this tool only to tidy up naming that is already correct. Match by the speaker's current LABEL, not by numeric id. A file whose speakers do not match the mapping is left unchanged and reported as failed. Re-sending a mapping that has already been applied is a safe no-op, so do not retry a call that reported success.

Check if an embed exists for a media file and retrieve its configuration.

Check whether a recorder/survey is active and accepting submissions.

Duplicate an existing folder and all of its contents.

Duplicate an existing folder view into a target folder.

Duplicate an existing recorder including all its settings and questions.

Create a new automation rule using the V2 graph model (trigger + ordered steps). Fetch valid step/trigger options with list_automation_triggers / list_automation_actions if unsure. For inbound-webhook automations the response includes inboundWebhook.inboundUrl (where to POST payloads) — recommended flow: create, send a test payload to the URL with ?test=1, call get_inbound_webhook to see mappable payload tokens, then update_automation to wire tokens/fieldsMap.

Create a highlight clip from one or more media files by specifying time ranges. Clips are processed asynchronously (states: queued, processing, completed, failed) — use get_clips to check status. Maximum total clip duration is 30 minutes. Use multiple timeRanges to stitch segments from different media files together.

Create an analytics dashboard. Only title is required — source defaults to the whole workspace and dateRange to last30days. Add widgets by listing their types (the MCP assigns ids and lays them out automatically), scope with source ({type:"folders",folderIds} | {type:"team"} | {type:"workspace"}) and dateRange ({preset}), and optionally group widgets into sections. Design guidance: lead with a narrative widget as the first widget; group sections by the QUESTION they answer, not by widget type; don't pad — every widget earns its place (aim for 4-16 widgets on a full build); if something can't be expressed by the widget catalog, put it in a narrative widget's focus instead of faking it. Call list_dashboard_widgets first for the widget catalog, config vocabulary, design rules, and full examples.

Create an embeddable player/transcript widget for a media file or a set of folders. Provide mediaId for a single-media embed, or folderIds for a folder/library embed.

Create a new custom field for categorizing and tagging media.

Create a new folder in the workspace.

Create a new saved view for a folder with a custom set of display columns.

Create a new recorder or survey for collecting audio/video submissions.

Create a new text note in Speak AI for analysis. The content will be analyzed for insights, topics, and sentiment.

Create a new user group and assign members. Member ids come from list_users. Fails with a 409 if a group with the same name already exists in the company.

Create a new webhook to receive real-time notifications when events occur in Speak AI.

Permanently delete an automation rule.

Delete a specific chat message from conversation history.

Permanently delete a clip and its associated media file.

Soft-delete a dashboard. This also deactivates its public share link.

Permanently delete a folder. Media within the folder will be moved, not deleted.

Permanently delete a media file and all associated transcripts and insights.

Permanently delete a recorder/survey. Existing recordings are preserved.

Cancel and delete a scheduled meeting assistant event.

Delete a user group. This removes the group only; it does not delete the users themselves.

Delete a webhook and stop receiving notifications at its endpoint.

Clone an existing dashboard. The copy gets fresh widget ids, a "<name> (copy)" title, cleared sharing, and its revision reset to 0. Ideal for cloning a fully-configured dashboard, then tweaking it via update_dashboard.

Export a specific AI Chat answer. Useful for saving AI-generated summaries, reports, or analysis results.

Export a media file's transcript or insights in various formats (pdf, docx, srt, vtt, txt, csv).

Export multiple media files at once, optionally merged into a single file.

Generate a shareable public URL for a recorder/survey.

Retrieve all saved views across all folders.

Check whether a media file can be analysed as audio or video, and what it will cost, before running ask_ai_chat with analysisInput. Returns { eligible, credits, seconds } and, when not eligible, a plain-English reason — an unavailable file is a normal result here, not an error. This is the only check that accounts for both the account's premium opt-in and the server-wide switch, so call it before committing to an expensive run.

Get detailed information about a specific automation rule, including its trigger and step graph.

Get the run history (executions) for an automation, with paging and optional status filter.

Get captions for a media file. Captions are separate from full transcripts and are formatted for display/subtitles.

Get a list of recent AI Chat conversations. Returns conversation summaries with promptIds that can be used to continue conversations via ask_ai_chat or retrieve full messages via get_chat_messages.

Get full message history for conversations. Can filter by promptId for a specific conversation, by media/folder, or search across all chat messages. Returns questions, answers, references, and metadata.

Get usage statistics for AI Chat / chat. Returns metrics on prompt usage, optionally filtered by date range.

List clips, optionally filtered by folder or media files. If clipId is provided, returns a single clip with its download URL (when processed).

Get a single dashboard's full spec: title, description, source, date range, sections, widgets, and the current revision (pass that revision back to update_dashboard).

Compute a speakers breakdown for a given folder scope, date range, and field filters. Standalone analytics — does not require a dashboard to exist.

Get the iframe URL for embedding a media player/transcript on a webpage.

Get all prompts and answers that have been marked as favorites. Useful for finding saved insights and important AI-generated analysis.

Get detailed information about a specific folder including its contents.

Retrieve all saved views for a specific folder.

Get an inbound webhook's public receive URL, captured sample payload, and the ready-to-paste {{trigger.payload.*}} tokens for mapping payload values into automation steps (speak-upload name/sourceUrl, fieldsMap custom-field values, notify/outbound-webhook templates). Pass either the webhookId or the automationId of an inbound-webhook automation. If no sample has been captured yet, send a test payload to the inboundUrl first (append ?test=1 to capture without running the automation).

Fetch new sentences from an in-progress or just-ended meeting transcript. Identify the meeting via meetingAssistantEventId (preferred) or mediaId. Pass back the previous response's nextCursor as sinceEndInSec to receive only what's been added since.

Retrieve AI-generated insights for a processed media file — topics, sentiment, keywords, action items, summaries, and more. The media must be in 'processed' state (check with get_media_status first). For asking custom questions about a media file, use ask_ai_chat instead.

Get workspace-level media statistics — total counts, processing status breakdown, storage usage, etc.

Check the processing status of a media file. States: pending → transcribing → analyzing → processed (or failed). Poll this after upload_media until state is 'processed', then use get_transcript and get_media_insights to retrieve results.

Get detailed information about a specific recorder including its settings and questions.

List all submissions/recordings collected by a specific recorder.

Get a pre-signed S3 URL for direct file upload to Speak AI storage. After getting the URL, PUT your file to it, then call upload_media with the S3 URL. For a simpler workflow, use upload_local_file instead which handles all steps automatically.

Retrieve AI-generated insights for a text note, including topics, sentiment, summaries, and action items.

Retrieve the full transcript for a media file with speaker labels and timestamps. Works on processed media and also returns the partial, in-progress transcript while a meeting bot is still recording (LIVE_TRANSCRIPT state). To fetch only the new sentences added since your previous call during a live meeting, use get_live_meeting_transcript instead. Use update_transcript_speakers to rename speaker labels after reviewing. For subtitle-formatted output, use get_captions instead.

Get the delivery log for an inbound webhook: each received request with its HTTP acknowledgement status (200 = sample captured, 202 = accepted and run started, 401/403 = rejected) and the automation run it started. Use get_automation_runs for the run outcomes themselves.

List the action/step types available in the automation catalog. Optionally filter by app.

List the apps available in the automation catalog (e.g. Speak native + connected integrations). Use to discover what triggers/actions exist before building an automation.

List automations as lightweight { name, id } pairs — useful for pickers without fetching full configs.

List the trigger types available in the automation catalog. Optionally filter by app.

List automation rules in the workspace, with paging and filters.

Discovery + how-to helper for building and customizing dashboards. Returns every widget type with what it shows and the exact strict config shape it accepts, the shared vocabulary (metric grammar, groupBy, per-widget binding, filters, thresholds, sources, date-range presets, sections), design rules for composing a dashboard that reads well, two complete worked example payloads, and tips for managing dashboards. Call this before create_dashboard / update_dashboard.

List all analytics dashboards the caller can access, including share state and each dashboard's current revision (needed for update_dashboard).

List all custom fields defined in the workspace.

List all folders in the workspace with pagination and sorting.

List and search media files in the workspace with filtering, pagination, and sorting. Use filterName for text search, mediaType to filter by audio/video/text, folderId for folder-specific results, and from/to for date ranges. Use the include param to embed additional data (transcripts, speakers, keywords) inline with each result, avoiding N+1 API calls. Returns mediaIds you can pass to get_transcript, get_media_insights, or ask_ai_chat. For deep full-text search across transcripts, use search_media instead.

List scheduled or completed meeting assistant events with filtering and pagination.

List all available AI Chat templates. Use template IDs with ask_ai_chat's assistantTemplateId parameter when using assistantType 'custom'.

List all recorders/surveys in the workspace.

List all languages supported for transcription. Use the language codes when uploading media with a specific sourceLanguage.

List all user groups in the company. Each group includes its members (hydrated names/emails) and member ids. Use this to discover group ids and current membership before updating or deleting a group.

List the users (members) in the workspace/company, with their ids, names, emails, and permissions. Use the returned _id values when assigning members to user groups.

List all configured webhooks in the workspace.

Provision a standalone inbound webhook and get its public receive URL (inboundUrl) BEFORE creating an automation. Webhook-first flow: provision, send a test payload to the URL (append ?test=1 to only capture a sample without running anything), inspect mappable payload paths with get_inbound_webhook, then pass the webhookId as trigger.webhookId to create_automation.

Re-run AI analysis on a media file using the latest models. Choose which parts to re-run via the flags below.

Trigger a re-analysis of an existing text note to regenerate insights with the latest AI models.

Remove the Speak AI assistant from an active or scheduled meeting.

Retry a failed or incomplete AI Chat response. Use when a previous ask_ai_chat call returned an error or incomplete answer.

Manually run one or more automations against one or more media items now (outside the normal trigger).

Schedule the Speak AI meeting assistant to join and record an upcoming meeting.

Deep search across all media transcripts, insights, and metadata. Returns matching media with sentiment data, tags, and content excerpts. Use this to find specific topics, keywords, or themes across your entire library. For filtering by media type, folder, tags, or speakers, use the filterList parameter. Results are scoped by date range — defaults to current year if not specified.

Enable public sharing for a dashboard and return its share token + embed id. WARNING: by default the public link resolves with no passphrase, so anyone with the token can view the dashboard data until an owner sets one.

Submit feedback on a chat response (thumbs up/down). Helps improve AI answer quality.

Toggle an automation rule between active and inactive. This flips the current state — call get_automation first if you need to know which way it will flip.

Mark or unmark media files as favorites for quick access.

Mark or unmark a chat message as a favorite for easy retrieval later.

Update an existing automation rule. This replaces the whole automation (name, trigger, and steps), so fetch the current values with get_automation first and pass them all back with your changes.

Update the title of a chat conversation for easier identification in history.

Update a clip's title, description, or tags.

Update a dashboard. Two modes. (1) Metadata-only: pass just icon/assignTo/filters/isDefault — no spec fields, no revision needed. (2) Spec update: pass the FULL spec — title, source, dateRange, sections, widgets — plus revision. Widgets and sections are REPLACED, not merged, so call get_dashboard first and resend everything you want to keep. revision is the optimistic-concurrency token from get_dashboard/list_dashboards: the server accepts the write only if it still matches, then increments it. A 409 conflict means another writer saved first — re-fetch with get_dashboard, rebuild your changes on the fresh spec, and retry with the new revision.

Update an existing embed widget — appearance/feature toggles via meta, plus scope and privacy.

Update a specific custom field by ID. name must always be supplied (the server replaces the field config).

Update a folder. name must always be supplied (the server replaces the folder config).

Update an existing saved view. Replaces the whole view, so name, isDefault and columns must all be supplied.

Update metadata fields (name, description, tags, status) for an existing media file.

Set custom field values across media in a single batch operation. Scope the update with folderId (all media in a folder) and/or mediaIds.

Update the survey questions and respondent-info settings for a recorder.

Update configuration settings for a recorder (branding, capture options, etc.). name must always be supplied.

Update an existing text note's name, content, or metadata. Updating text content will trigger re-analysis.

Update or rename speaker labels in a single media transcript. Call get_transcript first to read the speaker list — a speaker's label is whatever it was last renamed to, not a fixed value, so ids from an earlier turn may be stale. Renaming a speaker to a name another speaker already has is refused as a collision. Re-sending a rename that has already been applied is a safe no-op, so do not retry a call that reported success.

Edit the official transcript text of a single media file by finding and replacing text. Replaces every occurrence of the original text with the replacement (leave replacement empty to delete the text) and reports how many occurrences were replaced. Use update_transcript_speakers to rename speaker labels instead.

Update a user group's name and member list. NOTE: the users array is a FULL REPLACEMENT, not a delta — any member id you omit is removed from the group. Fetch the current members with list_user_groups first and send the complete list.

Update an existing webhook. This replaces the webhook config, so callbackUrl must always be supplied.

Upload and transcribe media from a URL — a direct/public file URL, OR a shareable social/video link (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, Reddit, SoundCloud, and similar), which Speak resolves to the underlying media automatically. Returns media_id immediately; after this returns, poll get_media_status until state is 'processed' (typically 1-3 min for under 60min audio), then call get_media_insights for AI summaries. This async pattern is required for remote MCP transports — long blocking calls die at proxy idle timeouts. (Vimeo links are not yet supported.)

Upload a local file to Speak AI for transcription and analysis. Reads the file from disk, gets a pre-signed S3 URL, uploads the file, then creates the media entry. Works with any audio or video file on the local filesystem. After upload, use get_media_status to poll for completion, then get_transcript and get_media_insights.
