§ MCP
MCP server
Dettivo ships a stdio MCP server. Run `dettivo mcp serve` or use `dettivo mcp config --host claude-desktop --write` to drop the config into your agent host. Tools and resources let coding agents read transcripts, start sessions, and insert text into the focused app.
Who this is for
Developers wiring Dettivo into agent hosts — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Claude Desktop. Anyone who wants their AI assistant to have access to their dictation history and to drive the dictation surface.
Wire MCP into an agent host
- 01
Install the CLI
`dettivo install-helper --link` if you have not already.
Terminal
- 02
Generate the host config
Run `dettivo mcp config --host claude-desktop --write` (or `--host cursor`, `--host codex`). The command writes the MCP server entry into the host's config file.
Terminal
- 03
Restart the host
Restart Claude Desktop, Cursor, or your Codex CLI session so it picks the new MCP server up.
- 04
Verify
Ask your agent to "list my recent transcripts" or "search transcripts for term sheet". You should see results from your real Dettivo history.
