Minutes is free, open-source meeting memory for the AI tools you already use. Record meetings, voice memos, and dictation locally, then keep transcripts and notes as Markdown in `~/meetings/`. Policy-aware tools let Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Pi, and MCP-compatible clients search the context you authorize. Restricted meetings are excluded from agent results by default; explicit access requires a trusted launch policy, a per-call request, and a durable audit record. Capture, transcription, and storage run locally. If you choose a cloud assistant or summarizer, the meeting context you authorize is sent to that provider. File-sync and backup services you configure have their own data boundaries.

## For AI Agents
minutes exposes a standard MCP server with 34 tools, 11 resources, and 6 prompt templates. Any MCP-compatible client can use it as a conversation memory layer.
## Choose Your Surface
- MCP server — When: User has Claude Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or any MCP client. Install: `npx minutes-mcp` Best for: Best for agent-first search, recall, and meeting-memory workflows.
- CLI — When: User wants terminal-first recording, search, import, and vault sync. Install: `brew tap silverstein/tap && brew install minutes` Best for: Best for local operator workflows and scripting.
- Claude Code plugin — When: User works in Claude Code and wants meeting lifecycle skills and proactive hooks. Install: `claude plugin marketplace add silverstein/minutes` Best for: Best for workflow guidance, prep, debrief, and meeting coaching.
- Pi coding agent — When: User works in Pi or wants Minutes to use pi as an opt-in local summarization agent. Install: `pi` Best for: Pi users who want the same local meeting memory without a Pi-specific skill export.
- Desktop app — When: User wants a menu bar app with one-click recording, Recall, and artifact drafting. Install: `brew install --cask silverstein/tap/minutes` Best for: Best for first recording, live capture, and post-meeting artifact work.

## Capabilities For Agents
1. Meeting recall — Search and retrieve past meetings, memos, and transcripts.
2. Policy-bound people context — Build bounded live-source profiles, relationship rankings, losing-touch signals, and commitments.
3. Decision and action-item tracking — Query structured decisions, commitments, and open follow-ups.
4. Recording and live transcript control — Start or stop capture and read live transcript deltas.
5. Local-first context — Audio processing happens on-device and the durable output is inspectable markdown.
