Spotify Podcast Transcript MCP —
inside every chat.
Connect once, then ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Claude Code to transcribe or summarize a Spotify episode. The AI calls transcribe_podcast, and for long episodes polls get_podcast_status until the transcript is ready.
https://mcp.transcriptmagic.com/mcp What the tool handles.
Once connected, the AI just needs the URL — every Spotify format below resolves automatically. No URL cleanup, no parsing, no client-side handling.
open.spotify.com/episode/<id>. Paste the specific episode, not a show or playlist.transcribe_podcast hands back a job_id and the AI polls get_podcast_status until it is done.Just ask.
After connecting, paste any prompt below into Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor. The AI calls transcribe_podcast on its own — no syntax to memorize, no JSON to write.

Which plans can use podcast transcription?
It is available on the Plus and Pro plans. On the Free plan or a legacy one-time credit pack the tool returns an upgrade prompt. The social-video tools (YouTube, TikTok, etc.) stay available on every plan.
How much does it cost?
10 credits per audio-hour, reserved when the job starts and refunded automatically if it fails. A 30-minute episode is 10 credits; a 2-hour episode is 20.
Why does a long episode return a job_id instead of the transcript?
Long episodes take longer than a single tool call should block, so transcribe_podcast hands back a job_id after a short wait and the AI polls get_podcast_status until the transcript is ready. It is automatic from your side — just ask.
How accurate are the transcripts?
Transcripts are AI-generated speech-to-text. Clean spoken dialogue transcribes very well; heavy music, crosstalk, or poor audio can reduce accuracy on those portions.
Should I use this or the REST API?
Use the MCP server when you are inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Claude Code. Use the Spotify REST API for batch processing and server-side automations. Same backend.
