Overview

Recall.ai provides a managed MCP server for providing read-only access to Recall.ai workspaces, bots, calendars, bot logs, and developer documentation from MCP-compatible AI clients.

How to Set Up

Choose the Recall.ai region that matches your workspace:

Region	MCP URL
US East	`https://us-east-1.recall.ai/mcp`
US West	`https://us-west-2.recall.ai/mcp`
Europe	`https://eu-central-1.recall.ai/mcp`
Asia Pacific	`https://ap-northeast-1.recall.ai/mcp`

MCP clients that support remote HTTP MCP can connect directly to the MCP URL and discover authentication from it. Use recall-ai as the MCP server name in each client.

Cursor Example

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recall-ai": {
      "url": "https://us-east-1.recall.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Autonomous Agents

We support using API tokens in order to authenticate autonomous agents. You'll want to pass your API key as a header, in the following format:
Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>

For example, to configure with Codex

[mcp_servers.recall-ai]
url = "https://us-east-1.recall.ai/mcp"
http_headers = { "Authorization" = "Bearer <API_KEY>"}

Available Tools

The Recall.ai MCP server exposes read-only tools scoped to the workspace selected during authorization. If your account can access multiple workspaces, use list_workspaces to find the workspace ID and pass it as workspace_id to workspace-scoped tools.

Tool Name	Description	Use Case
`get_info`	Show the active Recall.ai account, workspace, organization, and API version.	Confirm the API version for a support case.
`list_workspaces`	Show Recall.ai workspaces available to the authenticated account.	Locate the workspace for a customer account.

Examples in Action

Bot Debugging

User: "Why did bot 7d6ac4c3-69ef-49a4-a2d9-06723c0a235a fail to join?"
Assistant: [Uses get_bot and get_bot_logs]
Response: "The bot entered a fatal state after receiving a meeting access error..."

Documentation Search

User: "Find the docs for creating a meeting bot."
Assistant: [Uses search_docs, then get_doc]
Response: "The relevant guide is agent-quickstarts. It explains how to create a bot..."
