LLM + MCP Guide

Start using Scribe MCP in minutes.

This page focuses on the fastest path to value: connect, search, load only what you need, and answer with confidence.

Get Started

First 5 minutes

1. Connect to Scribe MCP

Point your MCP client to Scribe and verify tool discovery.

list_tools()

2. Find relevant transcriptions

Search before loading large records.

search_transcriptions(query: "roadmap", limit: 10)

3. Load minimal context first

Use summary and metadata before segments.

get_transcription(id)

Golden rule

Search first. Summary second. Segments last.

This keeps token usage low and response quality high.

Recommended request pattern

1) search_transcriptions(query, limit) 2) get_transcription(id) 3) if needed: get_transcription_segments(id, skip, take) 4) stop when question is answered
Typical segment page: 100-200
Avoid loading: 1000+ at once

Good prompt to start with

"Find the latest meeting where roadmap priorities were discussed, summarize decisions, and list explicit owners and deadlines. Use summaries first, then only load segments if needed."

Quality checklist

  • Always cite which transcription(s) were used
  • Distinguish explicit decisions from inferred suggestions
  • Stop loading data once the user question is answered
