Frequently asked questions

What is the tl;dv MCP server?

It is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server — a small piece of software that gives AI assistants like Claude a secure, governed connection to tl;dv. Connect to Google Meet, Zoom, and Teams recordings. Transcribe meetings and extract insights.

Is there an official tl;dv MCP server?

Yes. The tl;dv MCP server is an official integration, maintained by the vendor or the Model Context Protocol project, which makes it the safest default for business use. It is maintained by tl;dv.

Is the tl;dv MCP server hosted, or do I run it myself?

It runs locally. Your AI client starts it on your own machine with docker, and it talks to the client over standard input and output rather than the network.

Do I need an API key for the tl;dv MCP server?

No. It runs on your machine with your own permissions, so there is no key to create.

What can an AI assistant actually do with tl;dv?

Through this server an assistant can work with meeting recordings, transcription, insights, search — reading from and acting on tl;dv directly instead of you copy-pasting between windows. What you allow it to do is controlled by the permissions you grant.

How do I set this up for my business?

The setup section above has copy-paste config for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code. If you want it rolled out across a team with permissions, governance and support handled, that is what Crox's Build engagement covers.
