# How to Create Meeting Minutes with Claude

Claude produces meeting minutes through a multi-step terminal workflow. Transcribe the recording, structure the content into decisions, action items, and discussion points through conversation, and generate both an executive summary and detailed minutes. Claude distinguishes between what was decided and what was merely discussed.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Transcribe this meeting recording and create meeting minutes" and provide the file
3. Claude transcribes the meeting and formats structured minutes
4. Ask: "List all action items with owners and deadlines mentioned"
5. Share the minutes and action items with the team

## Example Prompt

```
Transcribe this team meeting and create structured minutes: attendees, agenda items discussed, decisions made, action items with owners, and open questions.
```

## Tips

- Ask Claude to distinguish decisions from discussions -- not everything discussed was decided
- Request a one-paragraph executive summary for stakeholders who just need the highlights
- Claude can track recurring action items across multiple meeting transcripts
