Who can do this: anyone on a Pro, Business or Enterprise plan
Where: Recordings (bulk download) or Settings > Developer > MCP Server (export with Claude)
There are two ways to get many meetings out of Spinach at once:
Bulk download from Recordings: pick up to 100 recordings and download one .zip with their summaries and transcripts. Nothing to set up.
Export with Claude through the Spinach MCP Server: connect Claude once, then ask it to export every meeting in a date range, in whatever format you need, including action items with owners, decisions and attendees.
Both need a Pro, Business or Enterprise plan. A free trial includes them too. On the free Starter plan, both are locked.
Which one should I use?
| Bulk download | Export with Claude (MCP) |
You get | A summary and a transcript per meeting, as .txt files | Anything Spinach has on the meeting (summary, action items with owners, decisions, attendees, transcript) as Markdown, CSV, JSON or any format you ask for |
How many | Up to 100 recordings per download | As many as you like. Claude goes through them a page at a time |
Setup | None | Connect Claude once (about 4 minutes) |
Best for | Keeping a copy of your transcripts and summaries | Moving your meetings into another tool, or a custom format |
Neither one exports videos. See Download videos.
Bulk download from Recordings
1. Click Recordings in the sidebar. Hover over a recording: a checkbox appears where the video icon was. Tick it.
2. Select the rest:
Tick more recordings one by one, or
Hold Shift and click another recording to select every recording in between, or
Click Select all at the top right of the list.
3. In the bar at the bottom of the screen, click Download.
4. Keep Summaries and Transcripts ticked, or untick the one you don't need, and click Download.
5. The bar shows Preparing 3 of 9… while Spinach gathers the files. Stay on the page until your browser saves the .zip and Downloaded 9 recordings. appears.
What's in the .zip
The file is called Spinach recordings plus today's date. Inside, every recording has its own folder, named after the meeting and its date:
Spinach recordings 2026-11-12.zip
├── Globex_onboarding_kickoff_2026-11-03/
│ ├── Globex_onboarding_kickoff_2026-11-03_summary.txt
│ └── Globex_onboarding_kickoff_2026-11-03_transcript.txt
├── Initech_QBR_2026-10-30/
│ ├── Initech_QBR_2026-10-30_summary.txt
│ └── Initech_QBR_2026-10-30_transcript.txt
└── Not included.txt
Not included.txt is only there if something you selected couldn't be downloaded. It lists each one and the reason. For example, the summary is still a draft, the host turned off the transcript, or it isn't ready yet.
Downloading more than 100 recordings
Each download takes up to 100 recordings. To download more, go in batches:
Click Add filter > Date and pick a range, for example one month.
Scroll to the bottom of the list so every recording in that range loads, then click Select all.
Click Download, then repeat with the next range.
Select all only selects recordings that have loaded. If older ones haven't loaded yet, a note above the bar says so. Scroll down to load them.
Export with Claude (MCP Server)
The Spinach MCP Server lets Claude read your meetings. Once it's connected, you can ask Claude to export them in one message. The same works in ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI tools that support MCP. See MCP Configuration.
1. In Spinach, go to Settings > Developer. Under MCP Server, copy the URL: https://mcp.spinach.ai/mcp.
2. In Claude, go to Customize > Connectors, click + and choose Add custom connector. Name it Spinach AI, paste the URL and click Add. The first time Claude uses it, sign in to Spinach and click Allow. Full steps for every Claude app: Claude MCP Integration.
3. Start a new chat and ask Claude to export. Copy this prompt and change the dates:
Using Spinach, export every meeting from January 1 to March 31, 2026. Make one Markdown file per meeting with the date, attendees, summary, action items (with owners) and decisions, and give me all the files as one .zip to download.
4. Claude finds the meetings, reads each one and writes the files. This can take several minutes. When it's done, it lists what it exported.
5. Click the .zip at the end of Claude's reply to download it.
Tips
Where the files go: in Claude on the web, you get a .zip to download. Cowork in the Claude desktop app and Claude Code can save the files straight to a folder on your computer.
Go a month or a quarter at a time. Claude writes every file itself, so a big export takes a while and uses your Claude usage. Full transcripts are long. For the transcripts of many meetings, the bulk download is faster.
Ask for the format you need. For example: "One CSV with a row per meeting: date, title, attendees and every action item with its owner." Or, if Notion is connected in Claude: "Add each of these meetings as a page in my Notion."
Narrow it down. Ask for one meeting series ("every Weekly Sync"), one person ("every meeting with Dana"), or one collection ("everything in my Customer calls collection").
Claude only sees the meetings you can open in Spinach.
Download videos
Bulk download doesn't include videos, and Claude can only reach videos from the last 7 days. To save videos:
One meeting at a time: open the meeting, click the ... button next to Share and choose Download Video.
Future meetings: connect Google Drive under Settings > Connections to save recordings to your Drive automatically. See Google Drive/Docs Integration.
Videos are kept for as long as your plan's video retention period, so download the ones you need before then.
If it didn't work
Download is greyed out: hover over it to see why.
Downloading is available on paid plans: upgrade, or start a free trial.
Select 100 or fewer recordings: unselect some, or download in batches by date.
You can't download any of these recordings: you don't have access to their notes. Ask the host to share them with you.
A recording is missing from the .zip: open Not included.txt in the .zip to see why.
I don't see checkboxes: hover over a recording. The checkbox only shows on hover, until you've selected one.
Claude doesn't use Spinach: start your message with "Using Spinach", and check that the Spinach AI connector is turned on under the + button in the message box.
The MCP Server is locked: it needs a Pro, Business or Enterprise plan, or a free trial.
Still stuck: contact support from the chat button in the bottom-right corner of the app.
