Switching to Wispr Flow: Keep All Your Notetakers in One Place (MCP)

Last updated: August 11, 2026

Available on: Mac. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible AI tools. Requires Notetaker and Private Cloud Sync on your Wispr Flow account.

Moving from Granola, Otter, or Fireflies? Connect Wispr Flow alongside your old notetaker so your AI tool searches new and old meetings from one chat. Keep the old connector as long as you need its back catalog, then remove it.

Why connect both at once

  • One search box. Claude or ChatGPT can pull from every notetaker you've connected, old and new.

  • Switch at your own pace. Use Wispr Flow for new meetings and keep the old tool for history only.

  • Read-only and safe. The Wispr Flow MCP gives your AI tools access to your meeting notes, summaries, and briefs — not your dictation history.

Step 1: Connect Wispr Flow

Open Wispr Flow and go to Settings → MCP, then confirm three things:

  • Notetaker is enabled. Notetaker MCP is Mac-only at this time, and some business-plan accounts may not have access.

  • Private Cloud Sync is on. Connected tools read your notes through Private Cloud Sync. If you disabled it yourself, click Turn on Private Cloud Sync. If your organization disabled it, admins can turn it on for the org or choose Manage in Admin Portal at https://admin.wisprflow.ai/app/settings/organization, while members see a Request access button only. If a HIPAA BAA is signed, Private Cloud Sync is locked off and the only actions are View signed BAA or Revoke BAA.

  • You're signed in to the right account. Personal and work accounts are separate and return different results.

From Settings → MCP, use the one-click Sync with Claude or Sync to ChatGPT buttons, which open in your default browser, or use All other apps to copy the connection URL to your clipboard.

Claude

  1. Go to Settings → Connectors in Claude.

  2. Click the + button, then Add custom connector.

  3. Paste the connection URL, then click Add.

  4. Click Connect and sign in to Wispr Flow.

  5. Toggle Wispr Flow on per chat using the + button → Connectors. Wispr Flow appears in that list once it's connected.

ChatGPT

Add Wispr Flow to ChatGPT, then sign in when prompted.

Cursor, VS Code, and other tools

Add a remote MCP server pointing to the connection URL copied from Settings → MCP → All other apps, then complete the browser sign-in.

Step 2: Keep your old notetaker connected

Add your previous notetaker as a second connector in the same AI tool, exactly the way you added Wispr Flow: add a custom or remote connector, paste the URL, and sign in through the browser. Each requires a paid plan on your AI tool for custom connectors, and each signs in through the browser, so there are no API keys to copy.

Using a different notetaker? Search its help center for "MCP." Most offer a hosted remote connection URL you can add the same way.

Note: Turn both connectors on in your chat. In Claude, click the + at the bottom left, choose Connectors, and toggle on both Wispr Flow and your old notetaker.

Step 3: Search across both

AI tools often default to a single source. When you need history, name both tools in your prompt:

  • "Search both my Wispr Flow and Granola notes for the pricing discussion with Acme."

  • "Compare the action items from last week's standup in Wispr Flow with the same meeting in Otter a month ago."

  • "Find the meeting where we set the launch date, and check Wispr Flow and Fireflies."

For new meetings, ask normally — Wispr Flow will have them.

Step 4: Retire the old notetaker

Once your recent meetings all live in Wispr Flow and you no longer need the old back catalog:

  1. Open your AI tool's connector settings.

  2. Remove or disconnect the old notetaker connector.

  3. Keep Wispr Flow connected — you're fully switched over.

You can also leave both connected indefinitely to keep the history one search away.

FAQs

One tool's notes never show up

Confirm that connector is toggled on for the conversation and that you're signed in to the account holding those notes.

It only searches one notetaker

Name both explicitly in your prompt, as shown in Step 3.

Wispr Flow connects but returns nothing

Check that Private Cloud Sync is on and that you authorized with the right account — see Step 1 for the enabling options on personal, organization, and HIPAA accounts.

Can the connected AI tool see my dictations?

No. The Wispr Flow MCP does not have access to your dictations.

Calendar access looks incomplete after connecting

If calendar access was not fully granted during sign-in, a Finish connecting button appears on the connector card. Click it to complete the calendar permission step.

The connection failed

Try connecting again from your AI tool.
