@scriptivox/mcp-server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Scriptivox — AI-powered audio and video transcription.

Turn any AI assistant into a transcription powerhouse. Transcribe audio and video from URLs or local files with 99% accuracy, speaker diarization, 119 languages, and word-level timestamps. Plus full CRUD on transcriptions (cancel, delete, list) and caption export in SRT / WebVTT / plain text.

Quick Start

Claude Desktop

Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scriptivox": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@scriptivox/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SCRIPTIVOX_API_KEY": "sk_live_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add scriptivox -- npx -y @scriptivox/mcp-server

Then set the environment variable `SCRIPTIVOX_API_KEY=sk_live_YOUR_KEY`.

Other MCP Clients

Any MCP-compatible client can use this server via stdio transport:

SCRIPTIVOX_API_KEY=sk_live_YOUR_KEY npx -y @scriptivox/mcp-server

Getting an API Key

1. Sign up at platform.scriptivox.com

2. Go to **Keys** in the dashboard

3. Create an API key (starts with `sk_live_...`)

4. Add credits at **Billing** ($5 minimum — API pricing is $0.20/hour of audio)

Tools

Discovery tools (no API key required)

Transcription tools (API key required)

Tip: always pass `language` when you know it

Auto-detection works in most cases but has a small failure rate on short clips, code-switched audio, or files starting with music. Passing the ISO code is both faster and more accurate.
