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."
"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 and list_recent_transcripts 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.
