Video Transcript is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Any video URL to LLM-ready transcript. ASR built in, no captions needed. TikTok, X, TED and more. In practice that means any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call Video Transcript's tools directly — the model decides when to use them in a conversation or agent run.
It's a hosted (remote) server — point your client at https://api.payload.cool/mcp/ and you're connected, with nothing to install locally. The current release is v1.0.0.
Video Transcript is listed under Development on mcp.site and works with any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed and the rest of the ecosystem — using the install snippets below.
