Export operations send session content (summary, transcript, notes, action items, markers and audio) to files, an Obsidian vault or Notion. All of them are on by default in MCP Access. Every operation also takes an optional workspaceId. See How to read this reference for the conventions.

How an export runs

Set up a destination with exports.destination.save (or in the app).
Check what will be written with exports.preview.
Queue a batch with exports.enqueue, then call exports.run until no delivery is left scheduled. Check progress with exports.status.
If a delivery needs attention because the destination was changed outside TalkBar, settle it with exports.resolve, or try again with exports.retry.

A delivery is scheduled, waitingForSummary, waitingForAudio, exporting, exported, partiallyExported, needsAttention or cancelled; a batch takes its status from its deliveries.

`exports.config`

Reads the workspace's export destinations and automatic export rules.

Read · runs with talkbar_read · MCP switch On by default · policy group exports

Arguments: none besides workspaceId.

Returns: {destinations, rules}. Destinations have destinationId, name, format, location, enabled, layout and credentialRef; rules have the fields exports.rule.save takes.

{"tool": "exports.config", "args": {}}

`exports.sessions`

Pages the ids of the sessions that can be exported (complete and not in the Trash), optionally within a project or series.

Read · runs with talkbar_read · MCP switch On by default · policy group exports

Arguments

projectId

string

Only sessions of this project.

seriesId

string

Only sessions of this series.

after

string

The last session id of the previous page.

limit

integer

How many to return. From 1 to 100. Default 100.

Returns: An array of session ids, in id order. Pass the last one as after for the next page; an empty array means the end.

`exports.preview`

Shows what an export would contain and whether each session is ready, without exporting anything.

Read · runs with talkbar_read · MCP switch On by default · policy group content

Arguments

sessionIdsrequired

string[]

The sessions to export. 1 to 100.

destinationIdsrequired

string[]

The destinations to preview. 1 to 10. Each must exist and be enabled.

selection

object

What to include from each session. Unknown keys are refused.

summary (default true), transcript (default true), metadata (default true), notes, outcomes (action items), markers (each default false).
audio: none (default), original, mp4, mp3 or wav.
summarySectionKeys: only these summary sections. Empty means the whole summary.
turnIds: only these transcript turns (up to 10,000).
ranges: only transcript turns inside these time ranges, [{startMs, endMs}] in ms from the session start (up to 100).

Returns: {sessions, destinations, outputs}. Each session shows the selected content, ready and, when it is not ready, waitReason (sessionNotFinished, summaryMissing, summaryStale or audioPending). Each output names the location, files and archiveEntries it would write.

Returns the selected summary and transcript text, so its policy group is content.

{"tool": "exports.preview", "args": {"sessionIds": ["ses_123"], "destinationIds": ["dest_vault"], "selection": {"summary": true, "transcript": false, "outcomes": true}}}

`exports.enqueue`

Queues sessions for export to one or more destinations, as a batch.

Write · runs with talkbar_change · MCP switch On by default · policy group exports

Arguments

sessionIdsrequired

string[]

The sessions to export. 1 to 100.

destinationIdsrequired

string[]

The destinations. 1 to 10. Each must exist and be enabled.

selection

object

What to include, as for exports.preview.

Returns: The batch: {batchId, workspaceId, status, automatic, createdAtMs, deliveries}. Each delivery has deliveryId, sessionId, sessionTitle, destinationId, status, location, error, conflict and updatedAtMs.

A session that is still recording is refused with session_recording: queue it after it stops.
Queuing does not deliver anything by itself. Run it with exports.run, or cancel it with exports.cancel.

{"tool": "exports.enqueue", "args": {"sessionIds": ["ses_123", "ses_124"], "destinationIds": ["dest_vault"]}}

`exports.run`

Runs a small part of one batch now: each call delivers at most one session to one destination. It never starts a background worker.

Write · runs with talkbar_change · MCP switch On by default · policy group exports

Arguments

batchIdrequired

string

The export batch, from exports.enqueue or exports.history.

Returns: The batch after the run ({batchId, workspaceId, status, automatic, createdAtMs, deliveries}. Each delivery has deliveryId, sessionId, sessionTitle, destinationId, status, location, error, conflict and updatedAtMs).

Call it again while the batch still has scheduled deliveries.
One export run at a time: a second call while one is running is answered busy with retryAfterMs: 5000.
Writes files or Notion pages to the destination.

{"tool": "exports.run", "args": {"batchId": "batch_5"}}

`exports.status`

Reads the delivery status of one export batch.

Read · runs with talkbar_read · MCP switch On by default · policy group exports

Arguments

batchIdrequired

string

The export batch, from exports.enqueue or exports.history.

`exports.runs`

Lists the delivery attempts of one export batch.

Read · runs with talkbar_read · MCP switch On by default · policy group exports

Arguments

batchIdrequired

string

The export batch, from exports.enqueue or exports.history.

Returns: An array of attempts: [{runId, deliveryId, status, startedAtMs, finishedAtMs, error}].

`exports.history`

Lists recent export batches, newest first.

Read · runs with talkbar_read · MCP switch On by default · policy group exports

Arguments

limit

integer

How many to return. From 1 to 100. Default 30.

Returns: An array of batches, as exports.status returns them.

`exports.cancel`

Cancels an export batch. Deliveries that finished stay exported.

Write · runs with talkbar_change · MCP switch On by default · policy group exports

Arguments

batchIdrequired

string

The export batch, from exports.enqueue or exports.history.

Returns: The batch as it now stands.

Every delivery that is not exported becomes cancelled, including partly exported ones and ones that need attention.

`exports.retry`

Retries an export batch: partly exported deliveries and deliveries that need attention (other than conflicts) are queued again.

Write · runs with talkbar_change · MCP switch On by default · policy group exports

Arguments

batchIdrequired

string

The export batch, from exports.enqueue or exports.history.

Returns: The batch as it now stands.

Conflicts are settled with exports.resolve instead. A finished batch is unchanged.

`exports.resolve`

Settles an export conflict, where the file or page at the destination was changed outside TalkBar.

Write · runs with talkbar_change · MCP switch On by default · policy group exports

Arguments

deliveryIdrequired

string

The delivery that needs attention, from the batch.

actionrequired

string

keepExternal keeps the outside version, saveCopy writes TalkBar's version as a new copy, replace overwrites the outside version.

Returns: The batch as it now stands.

Only a delivery that needs attention can be resolved.

{"tool": "exports.resolve", "args": {"deliveryId": "dlv_9", "action": "saveCopy"}}

`exports.destination.save`

Creates or updates an export destination: a folder of files, an Obsidian vault, a folder for Notion import, or a connected Notion page.

Write · runs with talkbar_change · MCP switch On by default · policy group exports

Arguments

destinationIdrequired

string

An id you choose. Saving with an existing id updates that destination.

namerequired

string

The destination name. Must not be empty.

formatrequired

string

What to write:

txt, markdown, html, json, srt, vtt, zip: files in a folder.
obsidian: Markdown with properties, for an Obsidian vault.
notionMarkdown: Markdown files for Notion's import.
notion: pages created in a connected Notion workspace.

locationrequired

string

For notion, the parent page (an id or a page URL). For every other format, an absolute folder path.

enabledrequired

boolean

Whether the destination can be used.

layout

string

How files are arranged in the folder: flat (default), project, series or projectSeries.

credentialRef

string | null

For a connected Notion destination, the stored connection: exactly export:<workspaceId>:<destinationId>, or null. Connecting Notion happens in the app; an assistant cannot store a token.

Returns: The destination as saved.

Saving replaces the whole destination: leaving credentialRef out of a connected Notion destination disconnects it.
Administrator rules can limit which folders or destinations may be used.

{"tool": "exports.destination.save", "args": {"destinationId": "dest_vault", "name": "Obsidian vault", "format": "obsidian", "location": "PATH_TO_VAULT/Meetings", "enabled": true, "layout": "project"}}

Write · runs with talkbar_delete · MCP switch On by default · policy group exports

Arguments

destinationIdrequired

string

The export destination, from exports.config.

Returns: {deleted: true, switchedOffRules}. A rule of its own (override) left with no destination is switched to disabled and listed in switchedOffRules.

Refused with failed while a delivery to it is scheduled, waiting or exporting.
Also removes any stored Notion connection for the destination.
Runs with talkbar_delete: confirmed with you when your AI app can ask; apps that cannot ask are refused unless Allow deletes without confirmation is on.

`exports.rule.save`

Sets automatic export for the workspace, a project or a series.

Write · runs with talkbar_change · MCP switch On by default · policy group exports

Arguments

ruleIdrequired

string

An id you choose. Saving again with the same id updates the rule.

scopeKindrequired

string

workspace, project or series.

scopeIdrequired

string

The workspace, project or series id. For workspace, the workspace id itself.

string

inherit (use the rule above; not allowed for the workspace), override (use this rule) or disabled (no automatic export here).

destinationIdsrequired

string[]

The destinations to export to.

selectionrequired

{"kind": "daily", "hour": …, "minute": …, "timezone": "…"}: once a day at that time, in an IANA time zone.

reexportSummaryrequired

boolean

Export again when the summary changes.

reexportTranscriptrequired

Arguments

ruleIdrequired

string

The automatic export rule, from exports.config.

Returns: {deleted: true}.

Runs with talkbar_delete: confirmed with you when your AI app can ask; apps that cannot ask are refused unless Allow deletes without confirmation is on.
