FAQ from Votars MCP Stdio

What is the difference between SSE and Stdio modes?

SSE mode uses a persistent server with API key in request headers, while Stdio mode runs as a subprocess and uses an environment variable (VOTARS_API_KEY) for authentication.

What runtime or dependencies are required?

Currently only the Go version is supported. You must have Go installed to use go install and run the server.

Where does my transcript data live?

All transcript data is stored on the Votars AI platform. The MCP server retrieves this data from your workspace.

What are the current limitations?

Only the Go language implementation is available. More languages (Python, JavaScript, Rust) are planned. Only two tools are currently exposed, with more to be added.

How do I obtain an API key?

Register at Votars.AI, navigate to your workspace settings, and create an API key under the API Key management section.
