About the project

Vexa is an open-source meeting transcription system whose bots join Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom calls and stream speaker-labeled transcripts through an API. It is for teams that want meeting transcription and downstream knowledge processing either through hosted services or by running the stack themselves. The catalogue entries provide agents and instructions for working with Vexa.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

vexa-setup scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 4d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Vexa setup

The plugin needs one value: Vexa API key (vexa_api_key), and optionally the MCP URL (vexa_mcp_url).

  • Hosted: sign in at https://vexa.ai/account and create a key. URL stays https://api.cloud.vexa.ai/mcp.
  • Self-hosted: make all in the Vexa repo prints a key when the stack is up; set the URL to your gateway's /mcp (Docker Compose default http://localhost:18056/mcp). Docs: https://docs.vexa.ai/deployment
  • The door: https://vexa.ai/connect mints a key and registers the server for the user's agent without this plugin; either path works.

Check the connection by calling whats_waiting. A 401 means the key is missing or wrong; a connection error usually means the URL points at a stack that is not up.

Do not paste keys into chat or files. Tell the user to enter the key in the plugin's settings (it is stored in the OS keychain).

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
