TranscriptMagic MCP Server

Remote Model Context Protocol server that lets AI assistants generate transcripts from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Rumble, and X (Twitter) videos, Twitch and Kick clips, and Spotify and Apple Podcasts episodes.

  • Hosted: https://mcp.transcriptmagic.com/mcp
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP (and legacy SSE)
  • Auth: OAuth 2.0 (Sign in with Google)
  • Pricing: 1 credit per video or clip transcript. Podcasts (Plus & Pro plans) are 10 credits per audio-hour. New accounts get free credits — see transcriptmagic.com.

No installation required. Connect it to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, or any MCP-compatible client using the URL above.

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.
