What the Plaud connector does

The Plaud MCP server connects the recordings made by Plaud's hardware voice recorders — the Note, Note Pro, NotePin and NotePin S — to Claude, ChatGPT and any MCP-compatible agent. Anthropic's directory lists five tools and all five read. Sign-in is OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, and it reaches transcripts, AI notes and the audio itself.

Limits

  • Neither OAuth document declares any scopes. The resource descriptor and the authorization server metadata both omit scopes_supported entirely. There is no permission the consent screen can show you and no boundary between reading a transcript and any future capability.
  • Consent is assigned to you, explicitly and in writing. Plaud states it does not collect consent from participants on your behalf and does not determine the legality of your recordings. Many jurisdictions require all-party consent; a wearable recorder has no participant list, no join announcement and no way for anyone else to opt out.
  • The audio is reachable, not only the text. get_file returns a presigned download URL valid 24 hours. A transcript can be redacted before it reaches an agent; a voice recording cannot.
  • There is no delete, edit or correction path. No tool can remove a recording, redact a passage or fix a misattributed speaker, and Plaud's documentation confirms MCP cannot edit recordings or transcripts. Deletion runs through the app's trash, and a permanent delete without cloud sync is unrecoverable.
  • Retention is open-ended. Recordings, transcripts and summaries are kept until you delete them or cancel, with unlimited storage and no published expiry. The connector inherits that horizon on every list_files call.
  • We could not read a live tools/list response. The endpoint returned HTTP 401 to an anonymous request. The tool names, schemas and safety annotations here come from the published source of @plaud-ai/mcp 0.3.9 — strong evidence, and still not the running server's own reply.
  • Cloud sync is mandatory and is a second decision. MCP reads only synced recordings, so connecting it means opting a device-local library into Plaud's cloud.
  • Plaud's own MCP FAQ contains an error worth knowing about. It states Plaud MCP "only works with AI assistants running on your own computer" and that your login stays local. That is true of the npx install; it is not true of the Claude Web and ChatGPT Web route the same article documents, which runs through the hosted server. Plaud's developer docs are the accurate source here, noting that on HTTP clients your data passes through Plaud's US-hosted MCP server, processed in transit only.
  • A published rate limit for MCP does not exist. Plaud documents no request ceiling for this server anywhere we could find.
  • The 7-day retention figure in Plaud's developer docs is not this product. It applies to the Plaud Embedded transcription API for third-party builders. Consumer recordings behind this connector follow the account-lifetime policy above.

Frequently asked questions

Does everyone in the room know a Plaud recorder is running?

Not reliably, and Plaud says the duty is yours. Its help centre states you are responsible for informing all participants and obtaining any legally required consent, and that Plaud does not collect consent on your behalf. The NotePin S shows a red LED that cannot be turned off, but an LED on a worn pin is notice only if someone looks at it.

What can the Plaud MCP server actually read?

Transcripts, AI notes and the audio itself. The five tools return recording metadata, the timestamped transcript with speaker attribution, the AI summary with action items and key topics, and a temporary audio download URL. Plaud's help centre confirms the assistant gets a download link valid for 24 hours alongside the transcript and summary.

Can the Plaud connector send, share or delete anything?

No. All five tools carry readOnlyHint true and destructiveHint false in the published server source. Plaud's own export skill states plainly that Plaud MCP does not expose a push tool, and its documentation lists what the connector cannot do: it cannot record audio and it cannot edit recordings or transcripts. There is no delete path.

What OAuth scopes does the Plaud MCP server request?

None are declared. The server's RFC 9728 protected-resource descriptor and its authorization-server metadata were both read on 2026-08-23 and neither document carries a scopes_supported field. Nothing at the consent screen narrows the grant, so authorizing the connector authorizes the whole tool surface as one unit, now and as it grows.

How long does Plaud keep recordings and transcripts?

Until you delete them or close the account. Plaud's security article states recordings, transcripts and summaries are retained until the user manually deletes them or cancels their subscription, with no time-based expiry. Cloud storage is described as unlimited, so a broad list_files call reaches every synced recording you have ever made.

How many tools does the Plaud MCP server have?

Five on the remote server, and Plaud's own table lists seven. The two extras, login and logout, are registered only by the local stdio entry point in the published npm package. The hosted endpoint this page describes registers the same five the directory lists, so the two lists agree once the transports are separated.

What do I need before connecting Plaud to Claude?

A Plaud account with Private Cloud Sync switched on. Plaud states that MCP works by giving your assistant access to your synced recordings, so cloud sync must be enabled, and that Plaud MCP is currently free for all active accounts. Terminal installs additionally need Node.js 20 or later.

Can an agent read my whole Plaud history through MCP?

Yes, and that is the documented reason to use it. Plaud's help centre states its OAuth API deliberately returns only your 20 most recent recordings, and directs anyone needing full history to MCP or the CLI, neither of which is subject to that cap. MCP is the widest read path Plaud offers an individual user.
