No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 1. Vendor: [otter.ai](https://otter.ai) · entry id 03-otter-ai · source 03-conversation-intel.md line 125 **What it does** AI meeting notetaker whose Sales Agent variant pulls CRM context before a call and flags objections, competitor mentions, and pricing discussion live, then writes summaries and next steps back to the CRM. **AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it** Live objection/competitor-mention flagging, real-time coaching tips, automatic pain-point and next-step summarization, buying-signal extraction feeding forecast updates, auto-drafted follow-up emails. Live transcription/captioning itself is ASR. **RevOps role** Live-call-assist layer available at Business tier; broader API/MCP agent access is reserved for Enterprise, making it one of the least solo-operator-friendly tools in this category on the developer-access axis. **MCP server** - **Status bucket**: Official MCP - **Auth**: unknown - exact auth mechanism not confirmed in public sources; framed under "Otter for Enterprise" with a demo-request CTA. - **Parsed URLs**: 4 found in the mcp_url field - **Endpoint probe**: did not answer - **Probed**: 2026-09-04, HTTP None The vendor ships and maintains the server itself. A wrapper built by Zapier, Composio or a similar third party does not count as official. The status was established by hand on 2026-09-07. On 2026-09-04 no recorded MCP URL answered. mcp_status, verbatim from the file: official mcp_url, verbatim from the file: https://mcp.otter.ai/mcp ; https://help.otter.ai/hc/en-us/articles/35287607569687-Otter-MCP-Server ; https://otter.ai/blog/otter-mcp-your-meetings-now-power-every-tool-you-use ; https://otter.ai/blog/otter-for-enterprise-connect-ai-to-ai-with-otters-mcp - [https://mcp.otter.ai/mcp](https://mcp.otter.ai/mcp) - [https://help.otter.ai/hc/en-us/articles/35287607569687-Otter-MCP-Server](https://help.otter.ai/hc/en-us/articles/35287607569687-Otter-MCP-Server) - [https://otter.ai/blog/otter-mcp-your-meetings-now-power-every-tool-you-use](https://otter.ai/blog/otter-mcp-your-meetings-now-power-every-tool-you-use) - [https://otter.ai/blog/otter-for-enterprise-connect-ai-to-ai-with-otters-mcp](https://otter.ai/blog/otter-for-enterprise-connect-ai-to-ai-with-otters-mcp) **What this server exposes** Not harvested yet. Unmeasured, not empty: nobody has read this server's tool list, so this page says nothing about what it exposes. 141 of the 741 entries that record an official or community MCP server carry a harvested tool list. The other 600 are unmeasured, which is not the same as empty. Harvest last run 2026-09-27. The full roll up is on the [tools index](../tools-index.md). **Command line** No CLI found by the 2026-09-27 harvest across vendor docs, npm, PyPI, Homebrew and GitHub. That is a probe result, not proof of absence. **Access gate** - **Gate bucket**: Enterprise only - **Can a solo operator reach it**: Not without a contract api_gate, verbatim from the file: enterprise-only for the general API. Otter's Enterprise plan is the only tier explicitly documented to include "Otter API and webhooks" plus SSO/SCIM (limit of 2 API keys/user, 10 req/sec once granted). The Business plan unlocks Sales Agent/CRM sync features but not the general API. **API documentation** No documentation URL recorded. 727 of 1252 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank. **GitHub health** Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build. The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale. **On GitHub** [github.com/otter-ai](https://github.com/otter-ai) tied to the vendor by rule 3, account website https://www.otter.ai has the vendor's domain, confidence strong - **Public repositories**: 0, forks excluded, as read on 2026-09-08 - **Mention MCP**: 0 of them - **Look like CLIs**: 0 of them - **Latest push**: not recorded Kind is a heuristic guessed from the repository name, topics and description, not a fact the vendor stated. A repository count is activity, not a verdict. Read 2026-09-08. **Jobs it can do** - [Draft personalized outreach](../jobs/draft-personalized-outreach.md) - [Fetch a call transcript](../jobs/fetch-call-transcript.md) - [Summarize a meeting](../jobs/summarize-meeting.md) - [Extract deal signals from calls](../jobs/extract-deal-signals-from-calls.md) - [Read CRM records](../jobs/read-crm-records.md) - [Write CRM records](../jobs/write-crm-records.md) A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records. Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 56 job vocabulary. 271 of 1,252 entries carry at least one tag; 849 tags are assigned in total. **Sources** - [https://otter.ai/sales-agent](https://otter.ai/sales-agent) - [https://otter.ai/pricing](https://otter.ai/pricing) - [https://otter.ai/blog/otter-for-enterprise-connect-ai-to-ai-with-otters-mcp](https://otter.ai/blog/otter-for-enterprise-connect-ai-to-ai-with-otters-mcp) - [https://help.otter.ai/hc/en-us/articles/35287607569687-Otter-MCP-Server](https://help.otter.ai/hc/en-us/articles/35287607569687-Otter-MCP-Server) - [https://mcp.otter.ai/mcp](https://mcp.otter.ai/mcp) 5 source URLs.
