Tools

Six tools. One connection.

Each AI client picks the right tool automatically based on the URL the user pastes — you don't pick a tool, you just talk. Per-platform tool pages cover URL formats and prompt patterns in detail.

get_credit_balance "How many credits do I have left?" — free, no credit cost.
list_recent_transcripts Recall transcripts you fetched earlier — by platform, with previews. Free.
Clients

Works with every major AI client.

One server URL, one OAuth sign-in. Pick your client below, copy-paste the URL, approve in the browser tab — done. The dashboard has full step-by-step walkthroughs.

Why MCP

Versus copy-paste, or the API.

If you're already inside a chat with Claude or ChatGPT, MCP is the lowest-friction option. If you're writing a service or automation, the REST API is more direct. Both share the same backend, the same credits, and the same accuracy.

MCP
Inside a chat with an AI
  • Sign in once with Google — no API key
  • Tools live in every conversation
  • Drop a URL, ask in plain English
  • Best for research, content workflows, agents

REST API
Inside your code
  • Bearer token auth, JSON request & response
  • Per-line timestamps for YouTube
  • 60 req/min, free credits, predictable shape
  • Best for production pipelines and services

What is an MCP server?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard from Anthropic for connecting AI clients to external tools and data. An MCP server exposes tools that Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others can call directly inside any chat — no plugins, no copy-paste, no glue code.

Do I need an API key?

No. The TranscriptMagic MCP server uses OAuth 2.1. You sign in once with Google when you connect, and the AI client stores its own short-lived token. Nothing to copy, paste, or rotate.

Which clients work with this server?

Any client that supports remote MCP over Streamable HTTP — Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, ChatGPT (deep research), Cursor, Claude Code, Continue.dev, and others. Adding a new client doesn't require any change on our side.

How much does it cost?

Free credits are included on signup. After that, 1 credit per successful transcribe_* call. The free utility tools (get_credit_balance, list_recent_transcripts) don't consume credits. See the pricing page for plan details.

What's the server URL?

https://mcp.transcriptmagic.com/mcp — paste it into your MCP client. A browser tab opens for OAuth, then the tools become available in any chat.

Can agents I build with the Claude Agent SDK use it?

Yes. The server is a standard remote MCP endpoint, so anything that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP can use it — including the Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Responses API tools layer, and custom orchestration code. For non-MCP integrations, use the REST API.

Connect — under a minute.

Free credits included, no credit card required, no API key to manage. The same OAuth sign-in works across every MCP client.
