How to Set Up and Use Limitless
Limitless MCP Server bridges AI assistants with your personal lifelog data stored in Limitless AI, giving Claude the ability to search conversation history, retrieve meeting transcripts, extract action items, and generate daily summaries using natural language. It connects to the Limitless API using your personal API key and supports cursor-based pagination for large datasets. This is particularly useful for people who record meetings and conversations with Limitless wearables or apps and want to query that memory through an AI assistant.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 16 or later with npx available
- A Limitless AI account with an active API key
- Your Limitless API key from the Limitless developer portal
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop
Obtain your Limitless API key
Log in to your Limitless AI account and navigate to the developer or API settings section to generate a personal API key. This key authenticates the MCP server against the Limitless API.
Install the MCP server package
Install the package globally so you can run it as a persistent MCP server, or use npx to launch it without a global installation.
npm install -g 199bio-mcp-limitless-serverConfigure your MCP client with the API key
Add the Limitless MCP server to your client configuration. The LIMITLESS_API_KEY environment variable is the only required configuration — pass it through the env block.
{
"mcpServers": {
"limitless": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["199bio-mcp-limitless-server"],
"env": {
"LIMITLESS_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}Understand the available capabilities
Once connected, the server provides tools for: searching your conversation history with relevance scoring, listing lifelogs by date with cursor-based pagination, fetching full transcripts, identifying meetings, extracting action items, and generating daily summaries with participant and topic breakdowns.
Query your lifelog data
Restart your MCP client after saving the config and verify the server is connected. You can now ask Claude to query your Limitless data using natural language time expressions like 'yesterday' or 'last week'.
Limitless Examples
Client configuration
Claude Desktop configuration for the Limitless MCP server with API key authentication.
{
"mcpServers": {
"limitless": {

"args": ["199bio-mcp-limitless-server"],
"env": {
"LIMITLESS_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}Prompts to try
Use these prompts with Claude once the Limitless MCP server is connected to explore your personal lifelog.
- "What meetings did I have yesterday and what were the main topics?"
- "Search my conversations from last week for any mentions of the project deadline"
- "Give me a daily summary of my recordings from Monday"
- "What action items came up in my conversations this week?"
- "Find all meetings where we discussed the Q3 budget"Troubleshooting Limitless
Authentication failed or API key rejected
Double-check that LIMITLESS_API_KEY is set to a valid, active key from your Limitless account. Keys may expire or be revoked — generate a new one from the Limitless developer settings and update the env block in your MCP config.
No lifelogs returned for a date query
Ensure your Limitless device or app was recording on that date and that recordings have been synced to the cloud. The server queries the Limitless API which only returns data that has been uploaded and processed.
Large transcript responses cause context window issues
The server applies automatic token limit handling with intelligent truncation, but for very long recordings use the pagination cursor to request data in batches of 10 items at a time rather than fetching all transcripts at once.
