How to give Cursor access to your calls

Why give Cursor your calls

The agent is only as good as its brief. With your calls connected, the brief is the call itself, so the first pass is closer to what was agreed.

What to ask Cursor

• “Before you start, read the call where we scoped the import and list the requirements.”

  ReadsSearches your calls and reads the one it finds.

• “What did we decide about API rate limits on Tuesday’s call?”

  ReadsAnswers from that call’s notes.

• “Check this branch against what Joe asked for on the call.”

  ReadsReads the call so the agent can compare it with your code.

• “File the non-code follow-ups from that call in SwitchDesk.”

  ChangesAdds them to your list, or sends them as one card to approve.

Set it up

1. 01

   SwitchDesk on your Mac

   Record a call

   Install SwitchDesk and record your next call: click Record Meeting in the menu bar, or Record on the countdown pill when the call starts. When it ends, the notes are ready: a summary, action items and the transcript.

2. 02

   SwitchDesk and Cursor

   Connect Cursor

   On your Mac, open Settings → AI Access → Connect an AI → Terminal & coding tools (CLI). Then in Terminal: npm install -g switchdesk and switchdesk login (paste the key). In Cursor, add SwitchDesk to mcp.json:

   Copy

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "switchdesk": {
         "command": "switchdesk",
         "args": ["mcp"]
       }
     }
   }

3. 03

   SwitchDesk on your Mac

   Switch on “Share meetings & notes with your AIs”

   It’s in Settings → AI Access. Enter the code we email you on “Confirm it’s you”. When SwitchDesk offers to include the past calls on this Mac, say yes to give Cursor your history.

4. 04

   Cursor

   Ask about a call

   Start with something you can check, like “Before you start, read the call where we scoped the import and list the requirements.”

Cursor and Claude Code use the same tile, key and Keychain entry, so one setup covers both.

Want exact words? Tick “Include full transcripts” in the same place. SwitchDesk warns: “Other people’s exact words.” Then give Cursor Full control, or switch Transcripts on in Fine-tune. Summaries, action items and your own notes don’t need it.

What Cursor can and can’t see

Every call Cursor makes shows up in Activity on your Mac. Revoke ends the connection at once.

Which calls work

Any call whose audio plays through your Mac: Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, in the browser or the app. SwitchDesk records your voice and theirs on separate tracks, so there’s no bot in the participant list. On Google Meet in Chrome, it also names who said what. How SwitchDesk records calls.
