Integration

Best For

Technical Level

🤖 MCP Integration

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows AI assistants like Claude Desktop and ChatGPT to access your Wave session data directly. It uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE for secure, seamless authentication.

✨ What You Can Do

  • 🔍 Ask your AI assistant to search your meetings

  • 📝 Get meeting summaries and transcripts on demand

  • 💬 Reference past conversations in your AI chats

🚀 Setup (Claude Desktop)

  1. Open your Claude Desktop config file:
    ​macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    ​Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

  2. Add the Wave MCP server:

    {"mcpServers": {"wave": {"url": "https://mcp.wave.co"}}}

  3. Restart Claude Desktop

  4. Claude will prompt you to sign in with Wave when you first use it - no tokens needed!

💡 That's it! OAuth handles authentication automatically. For clients that don't support OAuth, you can generate an API token in Settings → Integrations → MCP.

💻 Developer API

Build custom integrations with programmatic access to your Wave data.

✨ What You Can Do

  • 📋 List and search your sessions via REST API
