API / MCP server to read my content

I use recall mostly as knowledge base for all my content. I write my notes in there and use them to study and learn. As a software developer, most of this knowledge are the base to provide skills and context to a coding agent to work as I expect. Would be great to have an MCP server to feed the content in the coding agent (or ai tools in general) to enable them doing better work. I know it's hard to fit in the roadmap because then I might use generalists AI to do something similar to your features, but on the other side would be amazing to simplify work. Maybe an API / export automation feature would be a good compromise?

API/MCP access to card's concise summaries
N
Nicolas Kousmichoff
I use Recall for article curation and would like to access the auto-generated concise/detailed summaries programmatically.
The current API/MCP lets me:
• list cards
• retrieve metadata
• retrieve reader/content chunks
• run search over chunks
But I can’t find a way to retrieve the summary that Recall automatically generates and saves to the Notebook tab.
Use case: when curating many saved articles, I want an assistant/script to quickly inspect what each card is about at a glance and decide whether it is worth reading or processing further. Reader chunks are useful, but they are not equivalent to the generated summary and can miss the article-level gist.
Feature request:
• expose the generated summary/notebook content via GET /api/v1/cards/{card_id}
• or add a dedicated endpoint like /api/v1/cards/{card_id}/summary
• ideally include summary type/language if available: concise vs detailed, generated language, updated_at
This would make Recall much more useful for AI-assisted curation workflows while staying read-only.

Even having "deep links" to different elements of the card would be helpful.

Daniele Scillia have you not seen the existing MCP and API config in Settings?
Does this cover your use case?
