Cursor

Add TranscriptDock as an MCP server in Cursor.

1. Add a server#

Open Cursor Settings, then Features, then MCP, and add a new server. Or create .cursor/mcp.json in your project directly:

.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "transcriptdock": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://transcriptdock.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer td_live_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Nothing to install. If you prefer a local process, use this entry instead (needs Node.js):

.cursor/mcp.json (local server)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "transcriptdock": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@transcriptdock/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "TRANSCRIPTDOCK_API_KEY": "td_live_YOUR_KEY",
        "TRANSCRIPTDOCK_BASE_URL": "https://transcriptdock.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Verify#

Reopen Cursor Settings, MCP. transcriptdock should show as connected with its tools listed. Then ask the agent to transcribe a link in a chat.

Example prompts#

  • “Transcribe this YouTube link and give me the SRT.”
  • “Check on job 11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111.”
  • “Transcribe this TikTok and wait until it is done.”

Troubleshooting#

  • Server not listed: check the JSON is valid and reopen the MCP settings panel.
  • Unauthorized: check the key in the headers (or env) block has not been revoked.
  • Local server, command not found: install Node.js so npx is on your PATH.
