Setting Up the Speak AI MCP Server

Written by Speak Ai

The Speak AI MCP (Model Context Protocol) server lets you connect Speak AI directly to Claude and other AI assistants that support MCP. Once connected, you can query your transcripts and folders from within your AI conversation.

Requirements

  • A Team or Enterprise plan (API access required)

  • Your Speak AI API key (find it at app.speakai.co/developers)

  • Node.js 18+ installed

Installation

The MCP server is available on GitHub. Follow the setup instructions in the README:

  1. Clone or download the MCP server from the Speak AI MCP repository.

  2. Install dependencies: npm install

  3. Add your API key to the configuration file or set it as an environment variable: SPEAKAI_API_KEY=your_key_here

  4. Start the server and connect it to your MCP-compatible AI client.

Common errors

"Couldn't reach the MCP server" β€” Check that the server process is running and that the port it listens on is not blocked by a firewall. Verify your API key is correct.

Authentication errors β€” Make sure you are using an API key from a Team or Enterprise account. Free and Individual accounts do not include API access.
