Install

Pick your tool — both paths are live today.

One-click connect is the easiest install (recommended for coaches and non-developers). Or paste an API key as a header for any client that prefers manual setup.

Paste the connector URL into your AI tool's connector settings — same idea as pasting a Zoom link into your calendar. For the manual API-key route, generate a key at app.speakai.co/developers/apikeys and add it as an Authorization header.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector

FAQ

Common questions.

Privacy, permissions, regions, and the developer path.

What does clicking "Allow" (or pasting my API key) actually grant Claude or ChatGPT access to?

Either method grants the AI assistant read AND write access to your full Speak AI workspace — including the ability to view, modify, and delete recordings, folders, and clips. Claude/ChatGPT only access specific data when your AI assistant calls a tool to answer a question you asked. Your recordings stay in your Speak AI workspace; they are not copied or stored by Anthropic or OpenAI.

Will Claude be able to delete my recordings?

Yes — write access includes delete operations. We recommend always asking your AI assistant to confirm before deleting. MCP (the standard way Claude and ChatGPT connect to apps) marks delete tools as destructive, and most clients (including Claude) prompt you before invoking them.

I'm a therapist — is this HIPAA-compliant?

This depends on your specific situation, your existing Business Associate Agreements, and the contents of your recordings. When you grant the connector access, transcript content (including participant names and clinical detail) gets sent to Anthropic / OpenAI as part of the AI's reasoning. If your work is HIPAA-regulated, please review your participant consent practices before installing, and check whether your existing BAAs cover this use. Email privacy@speakai.co with specific compliance questions.

How do I disconnect Claude/ChatGPT from my Speak AI account?

Three options, all live today: (1) remove the connector inside Claude/ChatGPT itself, (2) for one-click connect installs, revoke the connection at api.speakai.co/v1/oauth/connections, or (3) for API-key installs, rotate or revoke the key at app.speakai.co/developers/apikeys — any tool using that key loses access immediately.

I'm in the EU, UK, or Switzerland — can I install this?

Yes for Claude (.ai web, Desktop, Code) and Cursor / VS Code — all of those work everywhere. ChatGPT custom connectors are not available in those regions (an OpenAI restriction, not ours). If you want ChatGPT specifically, you'll need to use the API / Responses path with an API key; otherwise we recommend Claude.ai or Claude Desktop, which install with one click.

What's the difference between this and the Speak AI app's built-in AI chat?

Speak AI's built-in Magic Prompt is great for asking questions inside Speak. This connector lets you ask the same kinds of questions inside Claude or ChatGPT, where you might already be doing other work — drafting emails, planning content, debugging code. Use whichever feels more natural for the task.

Do I need to install something on my computer?

No new app required — Speak AI hosts the connector; Claude/ChatGPT contact it directly. The one-click connect install runs entirely in your browser (paste a URL, click Allow on the permission popup). The manual API-key alternative is also paste-only — one URL plus one Authorization: Bearer <your-key> header, no local install. The npm package (@speakai/mcp-server) exists for developers who want to self-host or use a CLI — that's not the path for the average customer.

I'm a developer — where's the CLI / API documentation?

See the README on GitHub — the developer reference is collapsed at the bottom and includes the CLI commands, environment variables, REST API auth flow, and stdio-mode setup for clients that don't speak remote HTTP.

I keep getting "connection failed" errors mid-conversation.

Single-attempt failures are usually transient — try the same prompt again. If it persists, the connector may need to be reinstalled: for one-click connect installs, revoke at api.speakai.co/v1/oauth/connections then reinstall; for API-key installs, regenerate your key at app.speakai.co/developers/apikeys and update the connector. If still broken, email accounts@speakai.co.

My company's IT department is blocking custom connectors.

Some Claude Team / Enterprise workspaces restrict custom connectors via admin policies. Ask your workspace admin to allow https://api.speakai.co/v1/mcp in Organization Settings → Connectors.

Privacy & data

Your recordings stay yours.

The short version of how data flows when you connect.

What you authorize when you click Allow

You're authorizing that AI assistant to read and modify your Speak AI workspace on your behalf — including media files, transcripts, and AI insights.

  • Your recordings stay in your Speak AI workspace. They are not copied or stored by Anthropic or OpenAI.
  • Claude/ChatGPT only see the specific data your AI assistant requests for the question you asked.
  • You can disconnect at any time — remove the connector inside Claude/ChatGPT, revoke the connection at api.speakai.co/v1/oauth/connections, or rotate/revoke your API key at app.speakai.co/developers/apikeys.

For data-handling questions, see speakai.co/privacy or email privacy@speakai.co.
