OUR ASSESSMENT

Strengths
  • 2,020 GitHub stars.
  • 100 commits on main in the last 30 days.
  • Apache-2.0 license.
  • Open-source competitor to Otter, Fireflies, Read.ai.
  • Covers Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom.
  • Multi-format export (Markdown, SRT, JSON).
Weaknesses
  • Vexa account or self-hosted instance required.
  • Transcript accuracy depends on the underlying ASR model; tune for your domain.
  • Speaker attribution quality varies by audio quality.
Security Notes

VEXA_API_KEY carries account-level access. Meeting transcripts may include sensitive content (PII, deal info, IP); restrict the agent flow to a non-shared workspace and scope retention according to your data-governance policy.

Best For

Teams that need meeting transcripts in their agent loop without sending audio to a closed vendor; product orgs running async meetings where the agent summarises and assigns action items; sales orgs that audit calls for compliance and coaching.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION

We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.

The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
