What this does
Speak AI transcribes your interviews, sales calls, research sessions, webinars, podcasts, and team meetings — then extracts AI insights like summaries, action items, sentiment, and themes.
This connector (built on MCP — the standard way Claude and ChatGPT connect to apps) brings all of that into Claude or ChatGPT. Once installed, you can ask:
- "Find the last 10 customer interviews that mention pricing, group the feedback by theme, and cite the source recordings."
- "Summarize this week's team meetings into decisions, action items, owners, and unresolved risks."
- "Pull exact customer quotes about onboarding friction from recent research calls and format them for a product brief."
- "Find a strong 30-second highlight from the latest webinar, create a clip, and export captions."
The AI does the searching, summarizing, and citing. Your recordings stay in your Speak AI workspace — Claude and ChatGPT just query them through this connector.
Install (pick your tool)
Two paths to install — pick whichever feels easier. The one-click connect path approves access via a permission popup; the manual path pastes an API key into a header.
Don't know which one to pick? If you already use Claude or ChatGPT, install for whichever one you have.
Speak AI's connector address (paste this into your AI tool's connector settings — it's the same idea as pasting a Zoom link into your calendar): https://api.speakai.co/v1/mcp
Claude.ai (web)
- Open claude.ai/settings/connectors
- Click Add custom connector
- Paste
https://api.speakai.co/v1/mcp
- Click Add — a permission popup asks you to log into Speak AI and click Allow
- Done. Open a new chat and ask about your recordings.
Developer alternative — manual setup with an API key
Get a key at app.speakai.co/developers/apikeys, then in step 3 expand Custom headers and add Authorization = Bearer <your-key> before clicking Add.
Claude Desktop
- Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
- Paste
https://api.speakai.co/v1/mcp
- Click Add — a permission popup opens. Sign in to Speak AI and click Allow on the screen that appears.
- Done.
Developer alternative — manual setup with an API key
Get a key at app.speakai.co/developers/apikeys, then in step 2 also expand Custom headers and add:
- Header name:
Authorization
- Header value:
Bearer <your-speak-api-key>
Then click Add.
ChatGPT
- Open ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors → Advanced
- Enable "Allow custom apps" (OpenAI calls this toggle "Developer Mode" — but you don't need to be a developer to flip it; it just tells ChatGPT you'd like to add a third-party app like Speak AI)
- Click Create, paste
https://api.speakai.co/v1/mcp
- Choose the sign-in option when prompted, then sign in to Speak AI and click Allow on the permission popup
- Per-chat: open a chat, click the connector menu, and enable Speak AI for that chat.
Claude Code (terminal)
The sign-in flow (loopback) is supported, but the fastest path on the CLI is pasting an API key as a header:
claude mcp add --transport http speakai https://api.speakai.co/v1/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $SPEAKAI_KEY"
(Set SPEAKAI_KEY in your shell first, or paste your key inline.)
Cursor
Click the button — Cursor registers itself automatically and opens the permission popup. Sign in to Speak AI and click Allow.
Developer alternative — manual setup with an API key
