Gateway Overview
The gateway MCP server connects AI assistants to meetings stored by the Recordist desktop app on the same computer. It supports meeting search, transcripts, notes, action items, recording controls, markers, and approval-based follow-up actions. Read operations can use Recordist's local API or read the database when the app is closed, while recording and other mutating operations require the app to be running. Reach for gateway when an agent needs grounded access to a person's locally captured calls without a bot joining the meeting.
Primary Use Cases for Gateway:
- Search past calls for decisions or discussion points
- Retrieve transcripts in formats such as Markdown, SRT, or VTT
- Review open action items across recorded meetings
- Start recordings or add markers with Recordist approval controls
