Setup

Environment Variables

Set the following environment variables:

TYPECAST_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
TYPECAST_OUTPUT_DIR=<your-output-directory> # default: ~/Downloads/typecast_output

Usage with Claude Desktop / Cursor

You can add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json or Cursor MCP settings:

Recommended: Using uvx (No installation required)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "typecast-api-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/neosapience/typecast-api-mcp-server.git",
        "typecast-api-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TYPECAST_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY",
        "TYPECAST_OUTPUT_DIR": "PATH/TO/YOUR/OUTPUT/DIR"
      }
    }
  }
}

This method automatically fetches and runs the server from GitHub without manual cloning.

Note for Linux users: If you're running on Linux, you need to add the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable to the env section:

"env": {
  "TYPECAST_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY",
  "TYPECAST_OUTPUT_DIR": "PATH/TO/YOUR/OUTPUT/DIR",
  "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR": "/run/user/1000"
}
