Claude Code

One command adds TranscriptDock to Claude Code.

1. Add the server#

Run this in your terminal, with your own API key:

Terminal
claude mcp add --transport http transcriptdock https://transcriptdock.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer td_live_YOUR_KEY"

This registers the remote server for the current project; add --scope user to have it in every project. Nothing to install. To run it locally instead:

Terminal (local server)
claude mcp add transcriptdock -e TRANSCRIPTDOCK_API_KEY=td_live_YOUR_KEY -- npx -y @transcriptdock/mcp

2. Verify#

Run /mcp inside a Claude Code session. transcriptdock should appear as connected, with its tools listed.

Example prompts#

  • “Transcribe this YouTube link and give me the SRT.”
  • “List my last 10 transcription jobs.”
  • “Transcribe this TikTok and wait until it is done.”

Troubleshooting#

  • Not connected: run claude mcp list to confirm the entry exists, and check the key is correct.
  • Local server, command not found: install Node.js so npx is on your PATH.
  • To remove it: claude mcp remove transcriptdock.
