Claude cannot process your video files or analyze audio content because it only works with text and images. ScreenApp’s MCP integration gives Claude access to transcripts, summaries, and insights from any recording - something Claude can’t do on its own.
When it’s useful
Research and analysis: Ask Claude “Compare the main themes from my last 5 customer interviews” and get comprehensive analysis across multiple recordings.
Academic work: Turn recorded lectures into study materials. “Create a summary outline from my Advanced Chemistry recordings from this week.”
Content strategy: Generate ideas from brainstorming sessions. “What content ideas came up in our marketing strategy calls?”
Training and onboarding: Build documentation from recorded training sessions. “Write a training guide based on the new employee onboarding recordings.”
Sales insights: Analyze patterns across client calls. “What objections came up most often in my sales calls this month?”
Project planning: Extract action items and decisions. “List all the deadlines and responsibilities mentioned in our project kickoff meeting.”
While Granola only works with calendar meetings, ScreenApp connects Claude to ALL your recordings. Screen captures, interviews, training videos, personal notes - Claude can analyze any content you’ve recorded.
Why Connect ScreenApp with Claude?
By connecting ScreenApp as a custom connector in Claude, you can ask questions like “What did we decide about the marketing budget in last week’s meeting?” and get an answer based on your actual recording transcripts. Works with any type of recording, not just meetings.

Key differences:
vs Granola MCP: ScreenApp works with ALL recordings (lectures, interviews, screen recordings), while Granola only handles calendar meetings. Plus ScreenApp supports Claude integration, which Granola doesn’t offer.
vs Assembly AI: Assembly focuses on audio transcription APIs. ScreenApp provides direct Claude integration with video analysis capabilities for any content type.
vs Fireflies: Fireflies is meeting-specific and requires joining calls. ScreenApp lets you record anything, then connect your entire library to Claude for analysis.
How It Works
Connect your recording library to Claude in three steps:
- Get connection details from ScreenApp Settings > Integrations > Claude MCP

- Ask questions about any of your recordings
Claude can now search transcripts, analyze patterns, create summaries, and generate content from your recorded conversations.
