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.

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`	Return the authenticated user, current workspace, organization, and API version.	Confirm which Recall.ai account and workspace the MCP connection is using.
`list_workspaces`	List workspaces available to the authenticated account.	Find the workspace ID for follow-up bot, calendar, log, or docs requests.
`list_bots`	List bots in a workspace with filters for status, platform, meeting URL, join time, and metadata.	Find recent bots or locate a bot UUID for debugging.
`get_bot`	Fetch detailed bot metadata, lifecycle events, participant activity, and chat messages.	Inspect what happened during a specific meeting bot run.
`get_bot_logs`	Fetch customer-visible runtime logs for a bot.	Debug join, recording, and meeting behavior.
`list_calendars`	List calendars in a workspace, with filters for email, platform, and connection status.	Find a user's connected calendar.
`get_calendar`	Fetch one calendar and its connection details.	Inspect a calendar integration's current state.
`list_calendar_events`	List calendar events with filters for calendar, iCal UID, deleted state, update time, and start time.	Inspect scheduled meetings and calendar sync behavior.
`get_calendar_event`	Fetch one calendar event.	Inspect a specific synced event.
`get_bot_calendar_events`	Return calendar events that scheduled a bot.	Connect a bot back to the calendar event that created it.
`list_docs`	List Recall.ai guide and API reference pages.	Browse available documentation for the current workspace API version.
`search_docs`	Search Recall.ai documentation and API reference pages.	Find relevant docs by endpoint, product term, error text, or concept.
`get_doc`	Fetch a Recall.ai documentation page by slug.	Read the full documentation page returned by `list_docs` or `search_docs`.

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..."
