MCP server
Ask ChatGPT or Claude about your meetings
Connect your AI assistant to TranscribeNext once. Then ask in your own words — it finds the answer in your transcripts, and it can transcribe a new recording for you.
MCP server address
https://mcp.transcribenext.com/mcp- Free account is enough
- Sign in, no key needed
- Read-only if you want
What you can ask
Your meetings, answered in the chat you already use
The assistant searches every transcript in your account, reads the parts that matter and answers with what was actually said.
- “What did we decide about the budget in last week’s meeting?”
- “Find every call where a customer mentioned pricing.”
- “Summarize the interview with Anna and list her open questions.”
- “Transcribe this recording: https://drive.google.com/…”

What the AI can do
Eight tools, nothing edited or deleted
The assistant picks the tools itself — you just ask. You see their names when it asks for permission or shows what it used.
| Tool | What it does | Access |
|---|---|---|
search_transcripts | Finds what was said about a topic, person or term in all your transcripts, with timestamps | Reads |
list_transcripts | Lists your transcripts, newest first, filtered by title, date, folder or tag | Reads |
get_transcript | Reads a whole transcript with speakers and timestamps | Reads |
get_summary | Reads the summary saved for a transcript | Reads |
list_folders_and_tags | Lists your folders and tags | Reads |
transcribe_url | Starts a transcription from a Google Drive, Dropbox or YouTube link | Starts a transcription |
upload_file | Sends a file from your computer (apps that run commands: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) | Starts a transcription |
finish_upload | Starts the transcription of the file upload_file sent | Starts a transcription |
Limits
What each plan includes
Searching and reading your transcripts works on every plan. Plans limit the new transcriptions an AI assistant starts.

|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 3, website included | Google Drive, Dropbox | Up to 50 MB, 5-minute preview |
| Plus | 20, website included | Also YouTube | Up to 5 hours and 2 GB |
| Premium | 50 through AI assistants; no daily limit on the website | Also YouTube | Up to 8 hours and 5 GB |
Daily limits reset at 00:00 UTC. Need more than 50 a day through AI assistants? Write to info@transcribenext.com — larger volumes are billed by the hour.
You stay in control
Access you can see and take back
Read only, if you prefer
Untick starting new transcriptions when you allow access, or make a key read only. The assistant can then only search and read.
Only your account
The assistant sees the transcripts of the account that signed in. Never put a personal key in a shared Team or Enterprise connector.
Disconnect any time
Integrations → AI & API lists every connected app and key. Disconnect or revoke in one click; changing your password turns off all keys.
Transcripts stay data
Transcript text the server returns is marked as content from your recordings, so the assistant treats it as data, not as instructions.
Questions about the MCP server
What is the TranscribeNext MCP server?
An address — https://mcp.transcribenext.com/mcp — that lets an AI assistant work with your TranscribeNext account over MCP (Model Context Protocol). Once connected, the assistant can search and read your transcripts and start new transcriptions from a link or a file.
Which AI assistants can I connect?
ChatGPT, Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop and Claude Code), VS Code with Copilot agent mode, Cursor, Codex, Zed and goose sign in; any other MCP client with HTTP transport connects with an API key.
Do I need a paid plan?
No. A free TranscribeNext account connects and can search and read every transcript. On the free plan the assistant can start up to 3 new transcriptions a day, each with a 5-minute preview.
How many transcriptions can the AI start?
Free: 3 a day and Plus: 20 a day, counted together with the website. Premium: 50 a day through AI assistants, with no daily limit on the website. Limits reset at 00:00 UTC. For more, write to info@transcribenext.com — larger volumes are billed by the hour.
Can the AI transcribe a file from my computer?
Yes, in apps that can run commands on your computer, such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor: just ask, for example “Transcribe ~/Downloads/meeting.m4a”. In ChatGPT or claude.ai, upload the file on the website or share a Google Drive or Dropbox link.
Can the assistant change or delete my transcripts?
No. The tools only search, read and start new transcriptions. With read-only access it cannot start transcriptions either.
How do I disconnect?
Open Integrations → AI & API in your TranscribeNext account and choose Disconnect next to the app, or Revoke next to a key.
