This is a must have. I've imported a lot of data from other sources but stopped the process because it is cumbersome to go through the cards, tag and reorganizing them. That is all still a manual process. It has also kept me from committing to the Max plan as well as bringing on family and employees to use the tool collaboratively.

The core gap is that there's no way to programmatically add content to Recall from outside the browser. The knowledge base is only as powerful as what's in it, but ingestion is currently limited to whatever the browser extension can reach.

There's a whole category of content with no browser surface: media players, podcast apps, e-readers, CLI tools. For example, I want movies and TV shows I finish on Plex to automatically land in Recall as cards. The architecture is trivial (webhook to script to TMDB URL to Recall), but it's completely blocked without a write endpoint.

I'll be honest: I subscribed to Plus assuming write access was part of the deal. A read-only API and MCP is a strange offering for a paid tier. Pulling content out is useful, but pushing content in is the whole point.

Even a single POST endpoint that accepts a URL and triggers the same save-and-summarize flow as the browser extension would unlock a huge range of automation. MCP write support would be equally valuable for agent workflows.

Hoping this moves fast.

We need write access

Would love a cli my agent could interact with even more than an api but an API would work. I'm not a big fan of MCP these days but an api is fine. I'll build my own cli then ;-)

Really pleased to see read access land. Just wanted to add my voice to the write access request with a specific use case that I think sits beyond pure capture.

I use Recall alongside Claude (via MCP) as a thinking and synthesis layer. The read integration is already changing how I work — I can ask Claude to check Recall for prior context before starting new work, which surfaces connections I’d otherwise miss.

The gap right now is the loop back. A lot of my most valuable thinking happens inside Claude conversations — iterative reasoning, synthesising across sources, reaching a conclusion. Without write access, the output of that work either gets copy-pasted manually into Recall (friction that breaks the habit) or lives in chat history that becomes increasingly hard to retrieve over time.

Write access would close the loop: read context in, think it through, write the synthesis back as a new note with appropriate tags. Recall becomes a genuine second brain rather than a one-way archive.

Thanks for releasing the API & MCP with rebrand! But its also very important to have write ability. I need to be able to programmatically pipe saved youtube videos and IG saved posts into my recall account, and write access is required for that.
