Minutes MCP Server

useminutes.app Minutes is a free, open-source conversation memory app for the AI you already use. Record and transcribe meetings, calls, voice memos, and dictation on your device, then let Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another MCP client search the history you choose to share. Your records are Markdown files you own in ~/meetings/. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with agent skills, meetings and meeting notes and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Rust.
