🛠️ Available Tools

This MCP server exposes the following tools to your AI assistant:

  • transcribe_audio: Uploads a local audio or video file (e.g., MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4) for transcription. Returns a unique job_id.
  • transcribe_from_url: Submits a YouTube or TikTok URL for extraction and transcription. Returns a job_id.
  • get_job_status: Checks if the submitted job_id is "pending" or "completed".
  • get_transcript: Retrieves the full generated transcript (with speaker labels like [SPK_0]) for a completed job.
  • generate_ai_report: Generates a deep LLM analysis report (Summary, Action Items, Outline, or Speaker Analysis) for your transcript.

🤖 Integration Examples

Example 1: Using with DeepSeek Models

Since this server follows the standard MCP specification, you can use any DeepSeek-compatible MCP client (like Cursor, Cline, or Roo Code) to combine our transcription with DeepSeek's powerful reasoning.

Just ask your DeepSeek-powered agent:

"Use the FreeAudioToText tool to transcribe /Users/myname/Downloads/board_meeting.m4a. Once it finishes, act as an executive assistant and use your DeepSeek-R1 reasoning to summarize the key decisions and output an action item list."

Example 2: Using with Claude

"I have an interview recording at https://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxx. Can you transcribe it from the URL and give me a detailed speaker-by-speaker outline?"

The agent will automatically:

  1. Call transcribe_audio or transcribe_from_url.
  2. Poll get_job_status until completion.
  3. Retrieve the text via get_transcript and perform the advanced analysis.
