Let ChatGPT or Claude read your Texter transcripts

What it does

You can ask AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude about your Texter transcripts. The AI tool searches the notes you have made readable, reads the text, and answers from it. You don't need to copy and paste a note.

The screen above shows ChatGPT with one readable note, the transcript of a video (in Japanese). In the same state, we asked three things.

Asked

"Give me the key points of my newest note in three lines." (ChatGPT)

Answer

Three lines of key points and a link to open the note in Texter.

Asked

"Find the note about blood sugar and tell me what it says about blood sugar before bed." (ChatGPT)

Answer

It found the note and answered with a quote from the text.

Asked

"Check the text: what does it say about bones and hormones?" (Claude)

Answer

It quoted the two relevant lines and pointed out that the transcript might contain errors.

What you can do with it

The AI tool searches the titles, text, and summaries of your readable notes by keyword. It can also narrow the search by recording date.

Tidy up after a meeting

"Read the note from yesterday's weekly meeting and list the decisions and owners in a table."

Like the example above, this has the tool read a single note.

Pull several meetings together

"Find my notes from meetings with Company A and summarize what they asked for."

The tool can search across several notes. It finds notes whose transcript contains the words, such as the company name. If nothing comes up, try different words.

Look back over a period

"Find last month's notes about 'progress' and list the issues that keep coming up."

The tool searches by keyword within a date range, then reads the matching notes one by one.

On this page we tested with a single readable note. The requests that span several notes are written from the feature's specification. Check the answers against the original notes.

Before you start

• You need Premium. Texter MCP works only with an auto-renewing plan you purchased yourself. It is not available with a plan received through Family Sharing, and it may also be unavailable with some other Premium subscriptions at this time
• Update Texter to the latest version
• In Texter, sign in with Apple or Google and sync your notes

In Texter, open "Settings > Account > Texter MCP". The three steps are listed under "Getting started", and this page follows the same order.

If you don't see "Texter MCP" in the app, update the app, wait a while, and open it again.

Step 1: Connect your AI tool

For every tool, the connection URL is the same.

https://mcp.texter.work/mcp

Jump to the tool you use: Claude, Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, or Muse.

Claude (claude.ai)

Texter MCP is listed in Claude's connector directory, so you can add it without typing the URL.

1. On claude.ai, open Customize, then Connectors, and search for "Texter"
2. Open the "Texter MCP" page and connect with the button shown there
3. When the Texter screen opens, sign in and allow access

You can also open the Texter MCP page on Claude directly.

If you can't add it from the directory, choose to add a custom connector in the connector settings and enter the server URL at the top of Step 1 (https://mcp.texter.work/mcp).

Depending on your plan or settings, the custom connector option may not appear. If it doesn't, check Claude's help.

Claude Code

Run this command in a terminal on your computer.

claude mcp add --transport http texter https://mcp.texter.work/mcp

Then open /mcp in Claude Code, select texter, and authenticate. The Texter allow screen opens in your browser; sign in and allow access.

Codex

Run these two commands in order in a terminal on your computer.

codex mcp add texter --url https://mcp.texter.work/mcp
codex mcp login texter

The Texter allow screen opens in your browser; sign in and allow access.

ChatGPT

The labels below are from the Japanese interface and may read differently in yours.

1. Open the plugins screen. From "Add" at the top right, choose to add a custom MCP server
2. Enter a name such as "Texter"
3. Set the connection type to server URL and enter the URL above
4. Choose OAuth for authentication
5. Read the risk notice, check the box confirming you understand, and create it
6. When the Texter screen opens, sign in and allow access

Depending on your plan or your administrator's settings, this option may not appear. If it doesn't, check ChatGPT's help.

Muse

1. In a Muse chat, say you want to connect to Texter MCP (use the URL above) with a custom connector
2. On the connection card that appears, tap "Connect"
3. Read the notice and tap "Next". Enter texter-meta-muse as the client ID and tap "Add"
4. When the Texter screen opens, sign in and allow access

Muse may ask whether to allow sharing information with mcp.texter.work each time it uses the tool. If you choose to allow once, it asks every time, and it can time out while it waits. To avoid being asked every time, you can choose to always allow this site.

What to check on the allow screen

When you start connecting, Texter opens a screen asking whether to allow the connection.

• Sign in with the same account you use in the Texter app (Apple or Google)
• Check the source shown on the screen (for example, chatgpt.com)
• The screen warns you not to allow a connection you did not start yourself. Allow it only if you did

Check that it connected

In Texter, open "Settings > Account > Texter MCP". The tool you connected appears under "Connected AI tools".

Step 2: Choose the notes to make readable

Connecting alone does not let the tool read anything. An AI tool can read only the notes you have made readable in Texter. Start with one.

1. Make a note readable

   Open a note in Texter and choose "Make Readable with Texter MCP" from its menu. You can also choose notes from "Settings > Account > Texter MCP".

   A confirmation screen explains the following. After reading it, tap "Agree and Make Readable".

   • The text of this note is sent to the cloud
   • Recordings and other original files are not sent
   • Content already given to tools can't be taken back

   How to select several notes at once is covered in the next section, "You choose what can be read".

   When the status reads "Readable by connected tools", you're ready. If it says "Preparing", wait a moment.

   

Step 3: Try it in your AI tool

Try asking your AI tool something like this.

• Give me the key points of my newest Texter note in three lines
• Find my Texter note about blood sugar and tell me what it says about the time before bed
• Read my Texter note "note title" and summarize the decisions

Search looks for notes that contain the words you use, so short words work best. Even if you ask in a full sentence, most AI tools break it into words. A word that is not in your notes returns no results. When we searched for "meeting" while no readable note contained that word, we got none. A different wording can find the note, so try other words.

If it can't find the note, also paste the ID line from the example prompt under "Try reading it from the AI tool" on the Texter MCP screen. The example is at the top of the image in Before you start.

You choose what can be read

• You can make notes readable one at a time
• Under "Settings > Account > Texter MCP", open "Readable notes" and tap "Select" to make several notes readable or unreadable at once. "Select All" picks only the notes that exist now, not notes you create later
• There is a setting to make new notes readable automatically. It is optional, and until you turn it on, new notes do not become readable on their own
• You can see the connected tools under "Connected AI tools", and remove any you don't need with "Disconnect"
• Access is read-only. An AI tool cannot edit or delete your notes

Safety

• Only the notes you made readable in the app can be read
• You can disconnect at any time. After you do, that AI tool can no longer read your notes
• Content already given to an AI tool can't be taken back. What happens to it afterward follows that tool's terms and settings
• Check the AI's answers against the original note. Transcripts can contain errors
• Every AI tool connected to the same account can read the notes you have made readable. Make only the notes you need readable

What is sent and how it is stored is described under "Connecting External AI Tools (Texter MCP)" in the Privacy Policy.

Disconnect

1. In Texter, open "Settings > Account > Texter MCP"
2. Under "Connected AI tools", tap "Disconnect" next to the tool
3. Confirm. Disconnecting cuts the connection on every device

If the connection also remains on the AI tool's side, remove it in that tool's settings. To stop a single note from being read, choose "Make Unreadable with Texter MCP" from the note's menu.

A disconnected tool can no longer read your notes from that moment. If you make individual notes unreadable instead, they may still be readable until the change takes effect.

Troubleshooting

No Texter MCP in the app

Update the app, wait a while, and open it again.

"Available with Premium"

Texter MCP is available with Premium. Also check that you are not signed in with a different account than the one you used to purchase. It is not available with a plan received through Family Sharing.

Connected, but not shown in the app

Check that on the consent screen you signed in with the same Apple or Google account as this iPhone.

A note can't be found

Check that the note is readable and its status reads "Readable by connected tools". Searching again with a shorter word also helps.

Stuck on "Preparing"

Check your connection and wait a while. If it says "Couldn't send", try again.
