Introducing the Good Tape MCP

The Good Tape MCP is included on Free Trial, Pro, and Business at no additional cost while the feature is in beta. After beta, extra costs might apply. But you will hear any update on this from us first.

Once your transcripts are seen by an external AI tool, Good Tape has no control over how that provider handles the data. Each AI tool has its own data-use and training policies. Many providers don’t train on your inputs by default on paid or business plans and offer training opt-outs. We recommend checking the privacy, data residency, and training terms of the tool (and the specific plan) you connect to.

Only your own transcripts, summaries, and notes in your Good Tape archive. It cannot see other users’ or team members’ content. It also can’t edit, delete, or change anything in your archive.

Yes, it’s off by default. You stay in control of whether, when, and where you connect it. You decide to opt in. No third-party AI tool has access to your Good Tape archive unless you connect it yourself, and you can revoke access at any time on the settings page.

Good Tape itself stays just as private and secure. The MCP is opt-in, and nothing leaves Good Tape unless you actively connect it to your AI tool of choice. That said, if you connect LLMs and AI tools via MCP, their privacy, data residency, and training terms apply. We recommend reviewing those before connecting if you are in doubt.

You can disconnect the Good Tape MCP from all your AI tools in your Good Tape account settings: Settings → Account → Manage MCP (Beta) → Revoke MCP client access

That depends on your own editorial and legal guidelines. The Good Tape MCP is designed to opt in. Good Tape itself stays as secure as always, but connecting to a third-party AI tool means your transcripts pass through that third-party provider’s systems, which may not meet the confidentiality requirements for sensitive source material. If in doubt, we recommend checking the privacy, data residency, and training terms of the tool (and your specific plan) you connect to.

Each team member connects the Good Tape MCP individually, and the AI tool will only have access to that person’s own transcripts and tapes that have been shared with that person. Not all archives of the wider team or organization.

For individual transcripts, you save the manual step of copy-pasting or exporting and uploading .txt files. Otherwise it’s the same. You feed your raw transcript data to an external tool. But it’s a new way to search through and reason over your entire archive within one conversation. That used to be impossible manually.
