Authenticate

Desktop
Headless

Open Vued, sign in, and enter your encryption passphrase.

API Key

Desktop and Headless setup create a scoped local key for SDK and MCP. For Cloud API access, open Desktop -> Integrations -> Public API keys -> Permissions -> Create key.

SDK

Install the SDK:

pip install vued

Set VUED_API_KEY only for cloud methods, CI/server use, or when you want to override the locally stored key:

export VUED_API_KEY="vued_live_..."

Make your first request:

from vued import Vued, VuedLocalUnavailableError

client = Vued()

try:
    results = client.search("customer renewal risk", limit=5)
except VuedLocalUnavailableError:
    raise SystemExit("Start Vued Desktop or run `vued setup`, then retry.")

items = results["items"]
if not items:
    raise SystemExit("No matching meetings found.")

meeting = client.get_meeting(items[0]["meeting"]["id"])
print(meeting["transcript"]["text"])

MCP

Desktop
Headless

Open Integrations from your profile menu. In Local MCP, click Install all or install specific tools.

You can install MCP during headless installation. If you skipped it:

vued mcp install

To install for specific tools:

vued mcp install --mcp-targets claude-code,codex,codex-desktop,claude-desktop,cursor
