Common questions

Is Transcript Magic safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 6 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: MCP YouTube Transcript, Google Analytics MCP, BibiGPT YouTube Video Summarizer

Quickstart

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{

"mcpServers": { "transcript-magic": { "url": "https://mcp.transcriptmagic.com/mcp" } } }

Restart Claude Desktop. The first tool call will open a browser window to sign in with Google.

Cursor

Settings → MCP → Add new MCP Server → paste https://mcp.transcriptmagic.com/mcp. Cursor will prompt for OAuth on first use.

Windsurf

Settings → Cascade → MCP Servers → Add. Use the same URL.

Cline (VS Code)

Open the Cline panel → MCP Servers → Add Remote Server → paste the URL above.

Any other MCP client

Point it at https://mcp.transcriptmagic.com/mcp (streamable HTTP). For older clients that only support SSE, use https://mcp.transcriptmagic.com/sse.


Example prompts

"Transcribe this video and pull out the three main takeaways: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…"

"Get the TikTok transcript at vm.tiktok.com/… and turn it into a Twitter thread."

"Transcribe this Twitch clip and write a YouTube Shorts caption for it: https://clips.twitch.tv/…"

"List my last 10 transcripts and summarize the Instagram ones."

"How many credits do I have left?"


Pricing & credits

Credits are tied to your TranscriptMagic account. Sign in once via OAuth from your MCP client, then top up at transcriptmagic.com/dashboard/account when you run low. New accounts come with free credits to try the server.

get_credit_balance, list_recent_transcripts, and get_podcast_status are free and never consume credits.


Privacy

  • The server only accesses videos you explicitly send via tool calls.
  • We store transcripts in your account history so you can list them later. Delete from the dashboard at any time.
  • OAuth scope is limited to identifying your TranscriptMagic account — no Google Drive, Gmail, or other Google data is read.
