Common questions
Is transcript1 safe?
It passed 3 of 3 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?
You need to fill in: TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.6) reached the registry 4 days 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?

@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, Bluesky, Twitch, Dailymotion, Pinterest, LinkedIn and Snapchat Spotlight in Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients, and read the transcript with timestamps and optional speaker labels. Transcripts can be translated into other languages for free, with each translation kept as its own language and lined up with the original timestamps, so you get translated or bilingual subtitles. Links must be public, recorded videos; Sources and options lists the accepted link forms.
This package is a small stdio bridge to the hosted server at https://api.transcript1.com/mcp, for clients that launch MCP servers as commands. It wraps mcp-remote: the first time it starts, it opens transcript1 in your browser so you can sign in, or it uses an API key if you set one. Docs: transcript1.com/docs/mcp.
Connect without this package
Clients that support remote MCP servers can connect to https://api.transcript1.com/mcp directly and sign in to transcript1 in the browser. You need neither this package nor an API key.
- Claude and ChatGPT: add a custom connector with the URL
https://api.transcript1.com/mcp, then sign in to transcript1 and approve access. Custom connectors depend on your plan. - Claude Code: run
claude mcp add --transport http transcript1 https://api.transcript1.com/mcp, then run/mcpand sign in. - Cursor and VS Code: add the URL as a remote MCP server and sign in when asked. transcript1.com/docs/mcp has one-click installs.
Setup
You need a transcript1 account. Every client below runs the same command, npx -y @transcript1/mcp. Requires Node.js 18 or newer.
The first time the server starts, the package opens transcript1 in your browser. Sign in and approve access. The sign-in is saved in ~/.mcp-auth on your computer, so you do not repeat it every time.
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": { "transcript1": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@transcript1/mcp"] } } }
Cursor
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project). Cursor can also connect directly; use this package if Cursor's own sign-in fails.
{
"mcpServers": { "transcript1": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@transcript1/mcp"] } } }
VS Code
Add to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": { "transcript1": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@transcript1/mcp"] } } }
Claude Code
claude mcp add transcript1 -- npx -y @transcript1/mcp
Any other MCP client
Configure a stdio server with command npx and arguments -y @transcript1/mcp.
Use an API key instead
Browser sign-in needs a browser on the same computer as the MCP client. Over SSH, in CI or in a container, or to skip the sign-in, set TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY to an API key (starts with t1_). Create one at transcript1.com/dashboard/account/tokens. It is shown once, so copy it.
{
"mcpServers": { "transcript1": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@transcript1/mcp"], "env": { "TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY": "t1_YOURKEY" } } } }
With Claude Code:
claude mcp add transcript1 --env TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY=t1_YOURKEY -- npx -y @transcript1/mcp
Configuration
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY | no | Your transcript1 API key. Must start with t1_. Without it, the package signs in through your browser. |
TRANSCRIPT1_MCP_URL | no | Server URL. Defaults to https://api.transcript1.com/mcp. Must use https; plain http is accepted only for localhost and 127.0.0.1. |
The key is passed to mcp-remote through its environment, not on the command line. Extra arguments given to the command are forwarded to mcp-remote.
Tools
transcribe: create a transcription from a link on any supported platform and wait briefly for the result. Optionaltranslate_to(ISO 639-1) also translates the finished transcript.get_transcription: status or transcript of a job, as text, SRT, VTT, or JSON, with paging for long transcripts.translationisboth(default, translated line under each original),only, ornone.translation_language(ISO 639-1) picks which translation to show when a transcript has several; by default the most recent one.translate_transcription: translate an already finished transcript into one language; free (0 minutes) and idempotent. Text only, timestamps kept.list_transcriptions: your recent jobs, filterable and paginated.create_upload: reserve a chunked upload for a local audio or video file.get_upload_status: see which chunks were received, to resume an interrupted upload.complete_upload: verify an upload and queue it for transcription.delete_transcription: cancel a running job or delete a finished one.get_account: minutes remaining, current plan, renewal date, top-up pack price, and auto top-up status.top_up: buy 1,000-minute top-up packs with your card on file, only when you ask. It charges right away only if this connection or API key has Can buy top-ups turned on in the dashboard (off by default) and the monthly agent limit has room; otherwise it returns a link where you can pay. Passrequest_idso a retried purchase is charged once.
All tools act on your own account only.
Example prompts
Once the server is connected, ask in plain language:
- "Summarize this YouTube video with timestamps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"
- "Transcribe this podcast episode with speaker labels: LINK"
- "Make SRT subtitles for this TikTok and save them as
subs.srt: LINK" - "Transcribe this video and give me an English translation with timestamps: LINK"
- "Transcribe
~/Downloads/interview.m4a" (local files need a client that can run shell commands, such as Claude Code or Cursor) - "Give me the five best quotes from this interview, with timestamps: LINK"
- "Write meeting notes with decisions and action items from
team-call.mp4" - "How many transcription minutes do I have left?"
- "Buy one more pack of minutes"
Agent Skills
The skills folder has Agent Skills that teach an agent how to use these tools well: waiting for results, reading long transcripts page by page, uploading files in chunks, and writing from the full transcript. They work with the MCP server; they do not replace it.
| Skill | Use it for |
|---|---|
transcript1-transcribe | Transcripts of links and local files, with speaker labels and chunked uploads |
transcript1-summarize | Summaries, key points, chapters, quotes and meeting notes with timestamps |
transcript1-subtitles | SRT and WebVTT subtitle files |
Install them with the skills CLI:
npx skills add transcript1-com/mcp
Or copy a skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/ (Claude Code, every project) or .claude/skills/ (one project). In the Claude apps, upload the skill folder as a ZIP file in the Skills settings.
