Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

CUECAPS_API_KEY secret env
Your key from cuecaps.com/account (Creator or Pro). list_styles and studio_link work without one.
CUECAPS_CHROME env
Path to Chrome or Edge, when it isn't at a standard install path.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

list_styles
Lists the 10 Cuecaps caption styles: the id to pass as style to studio_link, the name, and how each one looks. Call it when the user hasn't picked a style or asks what the styles look like.
studio_link
Returns a link to the Cuecaps studio set up with these caption settings, and the steps to give the user: they open it, add their video, click Find words and export an MP4 with captions burned in, a transparent overlay or an SRT or VTT file. The video stays on their device. Works

Common questions

Is Cuecaps 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: CUECAPS_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 (0.1.2) reached the registry 9 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?

README from the maker

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

cuecaps-mcp

Caption a video or audio file on your computer from Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop or any MCP client. Ask "caption talk.mp4 in Karaoke and give me the MP4" and talk.captions.mp4 lands next to the original. The server drives the Cuecaps studio's own export in headless Chrome or Edge on your machine, so the result matches a studio export of the same settings. Once the project syncs to your account, caption_video also returns a studio link that opens it, to fix a word or change the style.

No install: the hosted server

Apps that connect to an MCP server by URL can use `https://cuecaps.com/mcp` (Streamable HTTP) with no install and no key: claude.ai and the Claude apps on phone and desktop, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, Claude Code and Cursor. It has list_styles and studio_link, so you ask for captions the way you'd describe them ("karaoke captions on a Spanish TikTok") and get a studio link set up for them, to finish in your browser. To caption a file on your computer directly, use this package (below).

claude.ai: Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, and paste https://cuecaps.com/mcp.
Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http cuecaps https://cuecaps.com/mcp
Gemini CLI, in ~/.gemini/settings.json: { "mcpServers": { "cuecaps": { "httpUrl": "https://cuecaps.com/mcp" } } }

Setup for every client: cuecaps.com/ai-assistants.

Requirements

Node 22 or later.
Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, found at its standard install path. CUECAPS_CHROME points to any other browser.
A key from cuecaps.com/account. Agent access comes with a Creator or Pro plan: cuecaps.com/pricing.

Setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add cuecaps --env CUECAPS_API_KEY=cck_… -- npx -y cuecaps-mcp

Claude Desktop and Cursor

Add this to the MCP config: Settings, Developer, Edit Config in Claude Desktop, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json in Cursor.

{ "mcpServers": { "cuecaps": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "cuecaps-mcp"], "env": { "CUECAPS_API_KEY": "cck_…" } } } }

The Agent access card on cuecaps.com/account creates a key and shows this config with the key filled in.

Tools

Tool	Key	What it does
`list_styles`	no	The 10 caption styles: id, name and how each one looks.
`studio_link`	no	A studio link that opens set up with your settings. Works on every plan.
`account_status`	yes	Your plan, cloud minutes left this period, the date they reset, and whether it includes agent captioning.
`transcribe`	yes	Every word of a file with its start and end time in seconds, plus the SRT text. Writes no file.
`caption_video`	yes	Captions a file and writes the result next to it.

Every input except path is optional. The caption settings use the studio-link names: style, words (1 to 10), lines (1 or 2), position (top, middle, bottom), aspect (9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9) and lang (a language code such as es; auto lets cloud transcription detect it). Each tool's schema lists the valid values.

transcribe and caption_video also take:

engine: cloud is ElevenLabs Scribe on your plan's cloud minutes, strongest on music, accents and 90+ languages, and the default when the minutes left cover the file. device is on-device Whisper with no minutes; its first run downloads the model (132 MB). The result names the engine used.
keyterms: up to 100 names and words for cloud transcription to spell your way.

caption_video also takes:

output: mp4 with the captions burned in (the default), mov or webm as a transparent captions-only overlay, or srt or vtt subtitles.
resolution: 720p, 1080p (the default), 1440p or 4k. 1440p and 4K come with Pro.
fps: 24, 25, 30 (the default), 50 or 60.
out_path: an absolute path in an existing folder to write to instead; its extension sets the output.

Examples

list_styles

{}

Returns [{ "id": "bold", "name": "Bold", "look": "Montserrat in capitals with a black outline, …" }, …].

studio_link

{ "style": "karaoke", "words": 4, "aspect": "9:16" }

Returns { "url": "https://cuecaps.com/studio?style=karaoke&words=4&aspect=9%3A16" }.

account_status

{}

Returns { "plan": "creator", "minutes_left": 287.5, "resets": "2026-11-20", "agents": true }.

transcribe

{ "path": "/Users/ana/clips/talk.mp4", "engine": "device" }

Returns { "words": [{ "text": "Greetings!", "start": 0.48, "end": 1.84 }, …], "srt": "1\n00:00:00,480 --> …", "engine": "device", "minutes_used": 0 }.

caption_video

{ "path": "/Users/ana/clips/talk.mp4", "style": "karaoke", "aspect": "9:16" }

Returns { "file": "/Users/ana/clips/talk.captions.mp4", "duration": 17.17, "engine": "cloud", "minutes_used": 0.29, "studio_url": "https://cuecaps.com/studio#p=…" }. While it runs, the server reports progress: Opening, Transcribing, Rendering 42%, Saving.

Output files

caption_video writes .captions. next to the input. A file that already exists is never replaced: the next run writes .captions-2. , then -3, and so on. The same rule applies to out_path.

The studio link in studio_url opens the saved project on Creator and Pro. The video itself stays on your machine, so the studio asks for the file again when you open the link on another device.

Settings

Variable	Use
`CUECAPS_API_KEY`	Your key (`cck_` and 32 characters).
`CUECAPS_CHROME`	Path to the Chrome or Edge executable, when it isn't at a standard install path.
`CUECAPS_URL`	The Cuecaps site, `https://cuecaps.com` by default.

Privacy

Your video stays on your machine. The render happens in a browser on your computer.
Cloud transcription sends compressed speech audio, as the studio does, and deletes it after transcription. engine: "device" sends no audio. The project and its words still sync to your account, as every project does on Creator and Pro.
Your key goes only to cuecaps.com/api/* requests. It is never in a URL, a log or a file.
Each run uses a temporary browser profile and deletes it afterwards, so no cookies or projects stay behind.
