Pocket MCP Server

We’re excited to announce Pocket MCP Server – a new way to connect your Pocket recordings directly to AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants securely access your data. With Pocket’s MCP server, you can now ask AI questions about your recordings, search across all your transcripts, and get insights – all within your favorite AI tools.

What can you do with it?

• "What did I discuss in my meetings last week?"
• "Find all recordings where I talked about the product launch"
• "Summarize my conversation from yesterday"
• Search across all your recordings without leaving your workflow
