MCP setup guide

The webtranscriber.com MCP server gives AI tools the ability to transcribe audio and video from virtually any URL, such as YouTube videos, Spotify podcasts, TikTok, Instagram, and thousands of other sources, without leaving your chat. The MCP server is available through the following URL:

https://webtranscriber.com/mcp

Once installed, your assistant can call two tools:

• start_transcription — Accepts any audio or video URL and starts a transcription task in the background, returning a transcript ID.
• get_transcription_status — Polls for the result of a transcription task and returns the full transcript when ready.

How it works

After setup, just paste a video or audio link into your chat and ask your assistant to transcribe, summarize, or do something else with the content. The assistant will automatically call start_transcription , wait for the job to complete, and then use the transcript as context.
