What you can do

Connect this agent connector to let your agent:

• List recordings — browse Plaud recordings, narrowed by a name substring and an inclusive date_from/date_to range
• Get recording details — read a recording’s name, timestamps, duration, transcript segments, AI notes, and temporary audio download URL
• Read timestamped transcripts — fetch raw or AI-cleaned transcripts with speaker attribution, one cursor-paginated page of utterances at a time
• Read AI-generated notes — retrieve the summary, action items, and key topics for a recording as Markdown blocks
• Identify the connected account — confirm which Plaud account the current tool calls run against

Common workflows

plaudmcp_get_file, plaudmcp_get_note, and plaudmcp_get_transcript require a file ID — the identifier of a single recording. Start with plaudmcp_list_files to discover recordings, then pass a file_id to the details, notes, or transcript tools.

Find a recording, then read its notes

Filter the recording list by name substring or date range, take the file_id of a match, and fetch the AI-generated summary and action items.

Node.js

// Step 1 — find the recording. `query` matches the name, case-insensitively.
const listResult = await scalekit.actions.executeTool({
  toolName: 'plaudmcp_list_files',
  identifier: 'user_123',
  connector: 'plaudmcp',
  toolInput: {
    query: 'weekly sync',
    date_from: '2026-01-01',
    date_to: '2026-01-31',
  },
});

// Inspect the payload once to learn how Plaud names the recording list and
// its file IDs, then read those fields directly in your own code.
// Security: Log only in development; recording names may expose user data.
console.log(listResult.data);

// Step 2 — read the AI notes for a recording you picked from that payload.
const noteResult = await scalekit.actions.executeTool({
  toolName: 'plaudmcp_get_note',
  identifier: 'user_123',
  connector: 'plaudmcp',
  toolInput: { file_id: '66f2b1c8e4b0a1d2c3e4f5a6' },
});

// Security: AI notes summarize the recording. Log only in development, and
// pass the notes to your agent rather than persisting them.
console.log(noteResult.data);

Python

# Step 1 — find the recording. `query` matches the name, case-insensitively.
list_response = actions.execute_tool(
    tool_name="plaudmcp_list_files",
    identifier="user_123",
    connection_name="plaudmcp",
    tool_input={
        "query": "weekly sync",
        "date_from": "2026-01-01",
        "date_to": "2026-01-31",
    },
)

# Inspect the payload once to learn how Plaud names the recording list and
# its file IDs, then read those fields directly in your own code.
# Security: Log only in development; recording names may expose user data.
print(list_response.data)

# Step 2 — read the AI notes for a recording you picked from that payload.
note_response = actions.execute_tool(
    tool_name="plaudmcp_get_note",
    identifier="user_123",
    connection_name="plaudmcp",
    tool_input={"file_id": "66f2b1c8e4b0a1d2c3e4f5a6"},
)

# Security: AI notes summarize the recording. Log only in development, and
# pass the notes to your agent rather than persisting them.
print(note_response.data)

Page through a long transcript

plaudmcp_get_transcript returns one page of utterances at a time and includes a next_cursor when more remain. Pass that cursor back on the next call, and stop when the response returns no cursor.

Node.js

const pages = [];
let cursor: string | undefined = undefined;

do {
  const result = await scalekit.actions.executeTool({
    toolName: 'plaudmcp_get_transcript',
    identifier: 'user_123',
    connector: 'plaudmcp',
    toolInput: {
      file_id: '66f2b1c8e4b0a1d2c3e4f5a6',
      block: 'transaction', // raw transcript with speaker names and timestamps
      limit: 200,
      ...(cursor ? { cursor } : {}),
    },
  });

  pages.push(result.data);
  cursor = (result.data as { next_cursor?: string }).next_cursor;
} while (cursor);

console.log(`Fetched ${pages.length} transcript page(s)`);

Python

pages = []
cursor = None

while True:
    tool_input = {
        "file_id": "66f2b1c8e4b0a1d2c3e4f5a6",
        "block": "transaction",  # raw transcript with speaker names and timestamps
        "limit": 200,
    }
    if cursor:
        tool_input["cursor"] = cursor

    response = actions.execute_tool(
        tool_name="plaudmcp_get_transcript",
        identifier="user_123",
        connection_name="plaudmcp",
        tool_input=tool_input,
    )

    pages.append(response.data)
    cursor = response.data.get("next_cursor")
    if not cursor:
        break

print(f"Fetched {len(pages)} transcript page(s)")

Choose the right transcript block

plaudmcp_get_transcript reads one of three blocks. Pick the block that matches what the agent needs:

Block	Returns	Use it when
transaction	Raw utterances with speaker labels and timestamps. This is the default.	Exact wording matters — quoting, compliance review, or speaker attribution
transaction_polish	The same per-utterance shape, cleaned up by AI. Keeps speaker and timestamps.	You want readable prose without filler words, but still need timestamps
outline	A structured outline of the recording.	You need the shape of the conversation rather than its full text

Get one recording’s metadata and audio

plaudmcp_get_file returns everything about a single recording in one call: name, timestamps, duration, transcript segments, AI notes, and a temporary audio download URL.

Node.js

const result = await scalekit.actions.executeTool({
  toolName: 'plaudmcp_get_file',
  identifier: 'user_123',
  connector: 'plaudmcp',
  toolInput: { file_id: '66f2b1c8e4b0a1d2c3e4f5a6' },
});

// Security: Log only in development; recordings may contain sensitive content.
console.log(result.data);

Python

response = actions.execute_tool(
    tool_name="plaudmcp_get_file",
    identifier="user_123",
    connection_name="plaudmcp",
    tool_input={"file_id": "66f2b1c8e4b0a1d2c3e4f5a6"},
)

# Security: Log only in development; recordings may contain sensitive content.
print(response.data)
