Does MeetingOS have Open APIs?

This covers Contio's open APIs for developers: the User & Workspace API and Contio MCP to build on your meetings and connect them to AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor), plus webhooks, authentication, and plan availability — vs. the Partner Program.

Written by Andrew Ely

Yes. MeetingOS offers a self-service User & Workspace API for building integrations, automations, and AI-agent workflows on top of your meetings, action items, agendas, calendar, and workspace. You can build on it directly, or connect your meetings to the AI tools you already use with Contio MCP (see below).

Base URL

All requests use https://api.contio.ai. Endpoints are versioned under /v1 — for example, https://api.contio.ai/v1/meetings.

Documentation

The full reference and OpenAPI spec live at https://docs.contio.ai/user-api. If you're using an AI coding agent, point it at https://docs.contio.ai/user-api/llms.txt. To build your own MCP server or agent integration, follow the agent-integration guide in the docs.

What you can do

  • Read and write meetings (full-transcript / SRT export is available on Elite and up)

  • Manage action items and agenda items

  • Upload, retrieve, and download meeting context

  • Add, remove, and manage participants

  • Read calendar events

  • Subscribe to real-time webhooks for workspace events

  • Workspace admins and owners can also manage members, API keys, and webhooks

Note: Canvases aren't yet available through the API.

Authentication

The API uses bearer tokens sent in the Authorization header, with three credential types:

  • OAuth 2.1 + PKCE — available on every plan, including Free. Sign in and authorize access.

  • Personal access tokens — scoped, expiring tokens for your own use (Pro and up).

  • Workspace API keys — for workspace-level integrations, managed by admins and owners (Pro and up).

User-level endpoints act on your own data; workspace-admin endpoints are restricted to workspace admins and owners.

Real-time webhooks

Subscribe to workspace events and Contio notifies your systems the moment something happens — for example, when a meeting wraps or an action item is created (19 event types, each HMAC-signed so you can verify it). Webhooks are available on Pro and up. See the docs for the full event list and setup.

Connecting to your AI tools (Contio MCP)

Prefer to connect your meetings to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or another AI tool instead of building from scratch? That's Contio MCP. The one-click hosted MCP is available on Pro and up, and you can self-host your own MCP server on any plan by pointing it at the API and following the agent-integration guide. For the full walkthrough, see Connecting Contio to Your AI Tools.

Which plans include this?

  • The API is available on every plan. On Free, you authorize with OAuth 2.1.

  • Personal access tokens, workspace API keys, and webhooks are on Pro and up.

  • The one-click hosted Contio MCP is on Pro, Elite, and Enterprise. Self-hosting your own MCP works on any plan.

  • Full-transcript (SRT) export via the API is on Elite and up.

Partner Program (separate)

If instead you want to embed MeetingOS note-taking inside your own product, or have MeetingOS push action items into another app, that's the Partner Program — a deeper, co-built integration rather than self-service API access. Visit https://www.contio.ai/partners for more information.
