MCP for agents

The MCP server is part of the loofah executable. It communicates through standard input and output. It does not open a network port or send vault data to a hosted service. It is read-only: to create sessions, edit notes, attach source artifacts, or import and transcribe audio, use the CLI.

The MCP tool names retain meeting for compatibility, but they can also return standalone knowledge sessions that have no recording or transcript.

Configure a client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "loofah": {
      "command": "loofah",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Use the absolute path to loofah if the client cannot find it on PATH. Restart the client after changing its MCP configuration.

For a custom vault path:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "loofah": {
      "command": "loofah",
      "args": ["--vault-path", "/path/to/vault", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Recommended order

Start with list_meetings or search_meetings. Pass a returned id to get_meeting. Call get_meeting_transcript only if the meeting detail does not contain enough evidence.

get_meeting_transcript returns the complete transcript as [HH:MM:SS] Speaker: ... lines.

See the MCP reference for exact parameters and resource URIs.
