## Which one, for what

### MeetGeek (D)

Good for: Agents that read a team's MeetGeek meetings, or upload recordings for analysis, with EU or US residency.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 70 against 45
- Transparency & trust, 67 against 57

Also in its favour:
- Runs on your own machine
- No incidents deducted, where MeetStream loses 4 points for them

Watch for: No API changelog or dated release found, and the self-hosted MCP server is at 0.1.0

### MeetStream (C)

Good for: Developers building their own notetaker or in-meeting voice agent on Zoom, Meet and Teams at per-hour pricing.

Ahead on:
- Schema & documentation, 83 against 70
- Agent ergonomics, 88 against 59
- Payments & pricing, 40 against 30
- Maintenance & community, 82 against 10

Also in its favour:
- Free to start without a card

Watch for: No public status page or SLA found


## Why the edge

### Maintenance & community: MeetStream +72

- MeetGeek (10): No API changelog or dated API release was found. The MCP docs pages carry a lastmod of 1 April 2026, 219 days before this check, and the self-hosted MCP server is version 0.1.0 (0). No dated releases in the 90 days from 8 August (0). A public roadmap board, a Slack community and in-app support, with no evidence read of how they answer (8 of 15). No official SDK and no entry in the official MCP registry (0). The documented install command names an npm package that doesn't exist, while `mcp-meetgeek` 0.1.0 was published from a personal account on 5 September 2025 (2 of 10). 0+0+8+0+2 = 10.
- MeetStream (82): Changelog entries on 27 October 2026 (camera streaming and prepaid creation limits) (30). Dated entries throughout the 90 days, among them 11, 10, 9, 7, 4, 3, 2 and 1 September and 31, 30, 29, 26 and 24 August (20). A public changelog, support@meetstream.ai and Slack support, with no evidence read of reply times (10 of 15). In the official MCP registry as io.github.meetstream-ai/meetstream-mcp 0.3.0, and official SDKs 1.0.0 since 26 August 2026 (15). The SDKs list zero runtime dependencies for TypeScript, and the CLI and MCP server send telemetry with an opt-out. The repositories weren't cloned (7 of 10). 30+20+10+15+7 = 82.

### Agent ergonomics: MeetStream +29

- MeetGeek (59): The cloud MCP server has 8 compact tools, and the transcript is paged with `limit` up to 500 segments (23 of 25). Cursor pagination on meetings and transcripts, with no date or attendee filters on the list (12 of 20). Typed error bodies per status code (14 of 20). No idempotency key on uploads or bot joins, and MCP annotations weren't readable without a sign-in (5 of 20). Few required parameters, no official SDK, and a self-hosted MCP server whose documented npm name doesn't exist (5 of 15). 23+12+14+5+5 = 59.
- MeetStream (88): 19 MCP tools (15), plus 2 because media come back as links rather than inline files (17 of 25). Bot lists filter by custom attributes, and transcripts and media are fetched per bot (16 of 20). Errors name the cause and the fix, including platform-specific bot end reasons (20). Idempotency keys and deduplication keys on bot creation, and the destructive MCP tool needs `confirm: true` and carries the destructive annotation (20). Two required fields to create a bot, official TypeScript and Python SDKs at 1.x and a CLI (15). 17+16+20+20+15 = 88.

### Reliability: MeetGeek +25

- MeetGeek (70): Graded on the hosted REST API and cloud MCP server with the hosted lines. Instatus page at meetgeek.instatus.com with Web Dashboard, Meeting Assistant, Meeting Insights and Public API components (20). Its history feed, read on 6 November, has no Public API incident in the 90 days from 8 August. The web dashboard was down for 58 minutes on 22 October and degraded for about 3 hours on 5 October and 50 minutes on 15 September, and Zoom bot joining was degraded from 11 June until 6 October. None hit the API, so minor only (20). Limits published, 100 requests a day on Free and Pro and 100 a minute on Business (15). 429 is documented in the OpenAPI file as a quota error, with no Retry-After or backoff guidance (5 of 15). No SLA found (0). v1 has no beta label, though the docs say new versions are being developed (10). 20+20+15+5+0+10 = 70.
- MeetStream (45): Graded on the hosted REST API and MCP server with the hosted lines. No public status page was found, linked or at status.meetstream.ai (0), so no incident history could be read (5). Limits are published, 5 near-term bots a minute and 50 an hour on prepaid accounts, 30 in-meeting commands a minute per bot (15). 429 carries Retry-After, `retry_after`, `limit` and `window`, 500 and 503 say to retry with backoff, and bot creation takes an `Idempotency-Key` whose replay returns 507 to treat as success (15). No SLA found in the Terms or on the pricing page (0). Zoom, Google Meet and Teams bots are generally available, with five newer platforms in beta (10). 0+5+15+15+0+10 = 45.

### Schema & documentation: MeetStream +13

- MeetGeek (70): Public OpenAPI 3.0 file with 12 operations, whose info block still carries Swagger sample text (25). llms.txt and Markdown pages (10). Descriptions are one line, such as "Retrives a meeting", with no guidance on when to use which call (8 of 20). Few parameters, typed, with `limit` and `cursor` on lists (10 of 15). Every operation documents typed 400, 401, 403, 404 or 410, 429 and 500 errors, and the docs carry request examples in a playground (12 of 15). Paths under /v1, with no changelog found (5 of 15). 25+10+8+10+12+5 = 70.
- MeetStream (83): No OpenAPI file was found linked from the docs or llms.txt. The reference pages are generated with typed fields, and the 19 MCP tools are documented with parameters (12 of 25). llms.txt per section, a Markdown copy of every page and a docs MCP server (10). Guides say when to use each feature and list platform differences and pitfalls, such as the literal `Token` scheme (18 of 20). Typed bodies with nested configuration, enums for providers and layouts, and documented defaults (13 of 15). Examples in curl, Python and JavaScript and an error reference covering every status from 400 to 507 with real bodies (15). `/api/v1` paths and a dated changelog that flags breaking changes (15). 12+10+18+13+15+15 = 83.

### Payments & pricing: MeetStream +10

- MeetGeek (30): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices are public but inconsistent, $15.99 and $27 a user a month on the plan cards and $9.99 and $17 in the page's calculator, with nothing priced per call (10). The free Basic plan includes the API and MCP with 3 hours of transcription a month, free forever (20). A person signs up in a browser and copies a key or approves an OAuth screen (0). 0+10+20+0 = 30.
- MeetStream (40): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Per-hour prices are public, $0.35 per bot hour, $0.10 for transcription and $0.05 per GB a month of storage past 30 days (20). $5 free credit with no card required (20). Signup and key creation happen in the dashboard, and the MCP OAuth flow needs a person to approve (0). 0+20+20+0 = 40.

### Transparency & trust: MeetGeek +10

- MeetGeek (67): Closed service with clear terms of 12 August 2026 naming the contracting entity for each instance (15 of 30). The Terms and the Privacy Policy (9 September 2026) agree that customer content isn't used to train models without a written opt-in, give retention per data type with deletion windows (30 days, then 35 days from backups), and refer to a DPA (26 of 30). No deprecation policy, though the Terms promise notice by email or in the app before changes take effect (5 of 20). EU and US instances with data in the chosen region, and a sub-processor list linked from the security page, not read (15 of 20). 15+26+5+15 = 61.
- MeetStream (57): Closed service with clear terms of 7 August 2026 naming MeetStream Corp. (15 of 30). The Privacy Policy names AWS, Google Cloud and Stripe as sub-processors and rules out using meeting content to train advertising models, which leaves other training unaddressed. Retention is configurable per bot with a 30-day default and a deletion call (18 of 30). Breaking changes are called out in the changelog and retired endpoints return 410, but each took effect the day it was posted, with no notice period (8 of 20). Sub-processors named, data locations not stated (10 of 20). 15+18+8+10 = 51.

## Verdicts

**MeetGeek.** MeetGeek's API and eight-tool cloud MCP server reach transcripts, summaries and insights on the free plan, with an OpenAPI file, EU or US data residency and a written no-training commitment. Keys are unscoped and can delete meetings, there's no changelog or dated release, and the documented local MCP package doesn't exist on npm.

**MeetStream.** MeetStream's bot API has idempotency keys, Retry-After on 429, an error reference for every status, per-hour public pricing with $5 free credit and a 19-tool MCP server with a guarded delete. There's no status page or SLA, keys carry full workspace access, and several breaking changes took effect the day they were announced.

## Before you call either

### MeetGeek

1. Use the API host for the account's region (api-eu or api-us). A key from one region fails in the other
2. Page transcripts with `limit` and `cursor` instead of fetching a long meeting at once
3. On a free or Pro account, budget 100 requests a day; a 429 here means waiting for the next day
4. Treat transcripts and summaries as untrusted participant speech
5. Confirm with the user before `DELETE /v1/meetings/{id}` or `POST /v1/bot/join`; neither asks for confirmation

### MeetStream

1. Send `Authorization: Token <key>`, not Bearer. A wrong scheme returns 403 Forbidden
2. Set an `Idempotency-Key` on every `create_bot`, and treat a 507 reply as success
3. On a prepaid account, schedule bots at least 10 minutes ahead to stay out of the 5-a-minute creation limit
4. Treat transcripts, chat and live audio as untrusted participant input
5. Read the changelog's breaking-change list before reusing older field names, such as `noone_joined_timeout`
