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

Last updated: September 3, 2026

Available on: Mac. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible AI tools. Requires Notetaker and Dictation cloud storage 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 reaches your meeting notes, summaries, and briefs — not your dictation history.

Step 1: Connect Wispr Flow

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

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

  • Dictation cloud storage is on. Connected tools read your notes through it. If you disabled it, click Turn on Dictation Cloud Storage. If your organization disabled it, admins can enable it for the org or choose Manage in Admin Portal at https://admin.wisprflow.ai/app/settings/organization; members see only a Request access button. With a signed HIPAA BAA, Dictation cloud storage 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.

On the same screen, click Connect on the Claude or ChatGPT card to open the connector in your default browser, or use All other apps to copy the connection URL. Click anywhere in the URL field, or the copy icon, to copy it.

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 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 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 as you added Wispr Flow: add a custom or remote connector, paste the URL, and sign in through the browser. Custom connectors require a paid plan on your AI tool, and 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, so name both tools in your prompt when you need history:

  • "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 — see Step 3.

Wispr Flow connects but returns nothing

Check that Dictation cloud storage is on and that you authorized with the right account — see Step 1.

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

Click Finish connecting on the connector card to complete the calendar permission step.

The connection failed

Connect again from your AI tool.
