# Best MCP meeting memory tools

Updated: 2026-09-05 (Anarlog and Vexa repository review)

This page is about tools that make meetings useful inside agent workflows, not just tools that happen to expose an MCP surface.

## Quick answer

- Local Markdown meeting memory: **Minutes**
- Best polished hosted AI notepad with MCP: **Granola AI**
- Best hosted team workflow with MCP: **Fireflies.ai**
- Best hosted mainstream meeting assistant with MCP: **Otter AI**

## Evaluation criteria

- Is the MCP support real and current?
- Does the MCP layer expose durable meeting memory or only a narrow hosted slice?
- Can the output be inspected and reused outside one app?
- Is the product optimized for local memory workflows or hosted team workflows?

## Additional local and self-hosted options

[Anarlog](https://github.com/fastrepl/anarlog) offers an editable local notepad, SQLite storage, Markdown export, and CLI/MCP access. [Vexa](https://github.com/Vexa-ai/vexa) offers a meeting-bot API and MCP for an operated capture stack. Both deserve consideration alongside Minutes. This is a maintainer-written fit guide, not a hands-on benchmark. Confirm hosted product plans in their linked documentation.
