Tiro gives you three ways to use your notes and wiki from outside the app: API, MCP, and CLI. The API is for programmatic integration (fetch notes, process audio, receive webhooks), MCP connects Tiro as context to AI agents like Claude, and the CLI is for the terminal and automation scripts. All three are included on every plan at no extra cost. Connection steps and token setup are in the developer docs.

Tiro API

Use the API to work with Tiro data programmatically from external systems: fetch and search notes, process audio files, and receive webhooks. You also get API access to core resources like folders and word memory.

Tiro MCP

Use MCP to bring Tiro notes and wiki straight into AI agents that support the Model Context Protocol, such as Claude. For example, you can ask an agent to “Summarize this week’s meetings.” You can also change note titles; change a folder’s title, description, or color; and move or reorder folders directly through MCP.
Write tools are available when you connect with an API key issued from Tiro Platform. You can modify only notes and folders for which you have edit permission.

Tiro CLI

Use the CLI to work with Tiro notes from your terminal. Search notes or download a transcript to a file. This comes in handy for automation scripts and CI environments where you can’t connect an MCP server.

Authentication, API key issuance, API endpoints, webhook events, how to connect an MCP server, and more are documented in the developer docs. For the spec of each MCP tool, see the MCP tools docs.

Frequently asked questions

Can anyone use it?

Yes. It’s available on every plan, and it doesn’t matter how you signed in. Whether you signed up with Google, Apple, Microsoft, email and password, or Enterprise SSO, you can use the API, MCP, and CLI the same way. Authentication runs on an API key or token that’s separate from your sign-in method.

Where do I issue API keys?

If you have a Tiro account, issue keys from the API keys screen at platform.tiro.ooo. There’s no requirement to be on a particular plan or higher. A shared workspace key is issued when you have key-issuing permission in that workspace.

Is there an extra charge?

No. The Tiro API, MCP, and CLI carry no extra charge. Tiro pricing is based on speech-to-text (STT) processing and heavy AI (LLM) usage, and the API, MCP, and CLI only read and search notes and transcripts that already exist; they don’t trigger new STT or AI generation. There’s a rate limit to prevent excessive calls, and if you go over it, wait a moment and try again.
If APIs for file upload or live recording are added later, those features can trigger STT and AI usage, so they’ll be announced separately and may incur charges.
