What is plaud-mcp AGENTS.md?

An instruction file for Plaud MCP, a tool that copies processed Plaud recordings into dated Markdown notes with summaries, highlights, and speaker-labelled transcripts.

Use it to configure the tool, sync already-processed recordings, or deliberately request transcription for recordings that Plaud has not processed.

It explains the setup and safety rules for syncing recordings, including the difference between free incremental syncing and transcription that uses a limited quota.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked

Security

Grade B, and why

plaud-mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- `plaud-mcp auth` (saves to `$PLAUD_STATE_DIR/token`, chmod 600). Pipe on stdin to keep it out of shell history: `pbpaste | plaud-mcp auth`.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Operating guide for autonomous agents (and the humans configuring them) working with plaud-mcp. Keep it conservative: the only side effect this tool has is writing markdown files into PLAUD_NOTES_DIR. It never deletes recordings, never modifies the Plaud cloud, and never posts anywhere.

What this tool does

Pulls Plaud recordings (summary + highlights + diarized transcript) into one markdown file each, under PLAUD_NOTES_DIR/YYYY-MM-DD/<slug>-<id6>.md. Sync is incremental (tracked in state.json) and idempotent (matched by plaud_file_id in frontmatter).

It can also trigger transcription/AI generation for recordings Plaud hasn't processed yet (plaud-mcp transcribe <id> / the plaud_transcribe tool). This is the one operation with a real cost: it consumes the user's Plaud transcription quota, same as pressing "Transcribe" in the app. Treat it as quota-spending and confirm intent before running it in bulk. sync, by contrast, only pulls already-processed recordings and is free.

Setup contract

Token (required, human-in-the-loop once). There are no API keys. A human must extract a JWT from a logged-in web.plaud.ai session (DevTools → Network → any api request → authorization: bearer eyJ…). Provide it to the tool one of two ways:
- PLAUD_TOKEN env var (preferred for agents/CI), or
- plaud-mcp auth (saves to $PLAUD_STATE_DIR/token, chmod 600). Pipe on stdin to keep it out of shell history: pbpaste | plaud-mcp auth. An agent should not fabricate or guess a token. If none is configured, plaud-mcp status reports token source: none — escalate to the human with the extraction steps above.
Region. Default API host is https://api.plaud.ai. EU accounts use https://api-euc1.plaud.ai. Set via PLAUD_API_DOMAIN or plaud-mcp api <url>.
Output dir. Set PLAUD_NOTES_DIR to where notes should land.

Run contract

Sync: plaud-mcp sync — exits 0 on success (including "0 new"), non-zero on auth/network/parse failure.
Inspect without writing: plaud-mcp sync --dry-run, plaud-mcp list, plaud-mcp get <file-id>.
Health: plaud-mcp status — reports token source, token expiry in days, api domain, dirs, last-sync time, seen-id count.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
