How to Install and Use tl;dv MCP

tl;dv MCP is a server that helps connect AI tools with your video meeting platforms like Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. Setting it up allows you to get meeting info, transcripts, and highlights easily. Here’s a simple guide to help you install and run tl;dv MCP.

What You Need Before Starting

Before you get started, make sure you have a few things ready:

• A Business or Enterprise account on tl;dv.
• An API key from tl;dv, which you can get here: https://tldv.io/app/settings/personal-settings/api-keys.
• Node.js and npm installed if you want to install via Node.js.
• Docker installed and running if you want to use Docker.

Once you have this ready, you can choose to install tl;dv MCP using Docker or Node.js.

Installing tl;dv MCP Using Docker

Docker makes it easy to run tl;dv MCP without installing many things on your computer.

First, go to the folder where you want to set up tl;dv MCP and build the Docker image by running this command:

docker build -t tldv-mcp-server .

After building the image, you need to update your MCP client’s settings to connect to this server. Your configuration will look like this (adjust the API key):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tldv": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--init",
        "--rm",
        "-e",
        "TLDV_API_KEY=<your-tldv-api-key>",
        "tldv-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace <your-tldv-api-key> with your actual key from tl;dv.

Installing tl;dv MCP Using Node.js

If you prefer not to use Docker, you can install tl;dv MCP with Node.js by following these quick steps.

First, install the project dependencies:

npm install

Next, build the server code:

npm run build

This will create a dist folder with the compiled server.

Now, configure your MCP client to run the server with this setup (replace paths and keys):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tldv": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/tldv-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "TLDV_API_KEY": "your_tldv_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Make sure to replace /absolute/path/to/tldv-mcp-server/dist/index.js with the full path to the built index.js file on your computer and change "your_tldv_api_key" to your real API key.

Running tl;dv MCP for Development

If you are developing or want to test changes, it’s useful to run the server in development mode. Here is how you can do it:

1. Install dependencies (if not done):

   npm install
   

2. Copy the example environment file and add your API key:

   cp .env.example .env
   

   Open this .env file and insert your TLDV_API_KEY.

3. Start the server with auto-reloading:

   npm run watch
   

Update your MCP client to connect to the local development server by pointing to the right file path and ensuring the API key is set in the environment.

Summary

Using tl;dv MCP lets AI tools work smoothly with your meetings to get transcripts and meeting insights. Choose either Docker or Node.js installation based on your comfort, set up your MCP client configuration as shown, and you will be ready to use tl;dv MCP quickly.
