@transcript1/mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector for transcript1, an audio and video transcription service. Transcribe file uploads or links from YouTube, X, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and Bluesky in Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients, and read the transcript with timestamps and optional speaker labels.

This package is a small stdio bridge to the hosted server at https://api.transcript1.com/mcp. It wraps mcp-remote and signs in with your API key, for clients that launch MCP servers as commands. Docs: transcript1.com/docs/mcp.

Setup

You need a transcript1 account and an API key (starts with t1_). Create one at transcript1.com/dashboard/account/tokens. It is shown once, so copy it.

Every client below runs the same command, npx -y @transcript1/mcp, with TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY set. Requires Node.js 18 or newer.

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "transcript1": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@transcript1/mcp"],
      "env": { "TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY": "t1_YOURKEY" }
    }
  }
}
Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "transcript1": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@transcript1/mcp"],
      "env": { "TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY": "t1_YOURKEY" }
    }
  }
}
VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "transcript1": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@transcript1/mcp"],
      "env": { "TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY": "t1_YOURKEY" }
    }
  }
}
Claude Code
claude mcp add transcript1 --env TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY=t1_YOURKEY -- npx -y @transcript1/mcp
Any other MCP client

Configure a stdio server with command npx, arguments -y @transcript1/mcp, and the environment variable TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY.

Configuration

VariableRequiredDescription
