How you connect decides what the assistant can see, so pick the method before the
client. See Authentication for what the two mean in
practice.

API key, scoped to the workspace

Yes
Claude and ChatGPT only ever act as you. The editor and terminal clients support
both, and the difference is one line of config: leave the credential out and the
client signs you in over OAuth, supply one and the client reaches the whole
workspace.
Nothing to create in NeetoRecord beforehand. You give the client the server URL
and approve the connection in the browser.

Custom connectors work on claude.ai, in the Claude desktop app, and in
Cowork. The steps below are the same in all three, and a connector you add
in one shows up in the others.
Leave Advanced settings alone. The OAuth client ID and secret there
are for servers that cannot register clients on their own, and
NeetoRecord does that automatically.
Custom MCP servers are added through developer mode.
Open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
The Plugins settings section links straight to it.
Go to Plugins, click Browse plugins, then the plus button.
In New Plugin, enter a name, set Connection to Server URL,
and paste:
https://connect.neetorecord.com/mcp/messages
Leave Authentication on OAuth. ChatGPT reads NeetoRecord’s OAuth
settings from the URL, so Advanced OAuth settings needs nothing from
you.
Tick I understand and want to continue, then click Create and
approve the NeetoRecord sign in.
The New Plugin dialog with OAuth discovered from the server URL.
OpenAI documents the current steps in
Building MCP servers for plugins and API integrations.
They renamed the app directory to the plugin directory in July 2026, so
older walkthroughs may say “apps” or “connectors” where the UI now says
“plugins”.
Add the server without a header. The missing credential is what makes Claude
Code sign you in rather than send a key.
claude mcp add --transport http neetorecord https://connect.neetorecord.com/mcp/messages
Run claude mcp list and the server reads Needs authentication. Start
Claude Code, run /mcp, pick neetorecord, and complete the sign in in
the browser.
Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or to .cursor/mcp.json for a
single project, with no headers block:
Restart Cursor, then approve the NeetoRecord sign in when it prompts.
Add the server to ~/.gemini/settings.json, or to .gemini/settings.json
for a single project, with no headers block. Streamable HTTP servers go
under httpUrl, not url, which Gemini CLI reserves for SSE:
Gemini CLI starts the sign in when the server answers with a 401 and
registers itself automatically.
Codex uses TOML rather than JSON. Add the server to ~/.codex/config.toml,
or to .codex/config.toml for a single project, with no credential fields.
OAuth is what Codex falls back to when none are given:
Whichever client you started from, NeetoRecord runs the same steps.
1
Choose your workspace
Enter the subdomain of the workspace you want the assistant to reach. For
acme.neetorecord.com, enter acme. See
Workspace subdomain.
The first screen of the NeetoRecord OAuth flow.
2
Sign in
Sign in to that workspace if you are not signed in already.
3
Pick the workspaces to connect
Workspaces to connect lists every workspace your email belongs to. The
one you just signed in to is ticked and cannot be unticked. Tick any others
you want the same connection to reach.This section only appears when your email belongs to more than one
workspace. With a single workspace, the screen goes straight to the details
and the buttons.
Selecting which workspaces the connection can reach.
4
Authorize
Click Authorize. The assistant is granted access as you, with your
permissions, to each workspace you ticked.
There is no API key to create for this route, and nothing to paste back into the
assistant.Once connected, name the workspace in a prompt when you want a specific one. To
add a workspace later, run the sign in again and tick it.
The same six clients, configured with a key instead. Every tool call then
reaches the whole workspace rather than just your own recordings, which is what
you want for automation and not what you want on a shared machine.

Add the server to ~/.claude.json under mcpServers:
This needs VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot in Agent mode. The
editor prompts for your API key the first time the server is used.
Unlike the other clients, this config lives inside your project rather
than your home directory, so a pasted key can end up in a commit. Add
.vscode/mcp.json to .gitignore, or leave the key out of the file and
let VS Code prompt for it.
Add the server to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json. Windsurf uses
serverUrl rather than url:
Enable the server under Settings → Cascade → MCP Servers. Windsurf
allows at most 100 tools across every connected server, so disable servers
you are not using if NeetoRecord’s tools do not appear.
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with a key from your workspace. See
Authentication.
Ask the assistant something only the server can answer, for example
“List my five most recent NeetoRecord recordings.” If it answers with real
recordings, the connection works. If it does not, see
Troubleshooting.
