Overview

AI-generated overview

Turns a video URL into a spoken-word transcript using server-side speech recognition, even when the video has no captions.

What you can do
The server exposes two tools. get_video_transcript extracts the spoken-word transcript from a video URL, using server-side speech recognition so captions are not required. It covers TikTok, X/Twitter, TED, Twitch VODs, podcast hosts and more than 1000 other sites, with a maximum video length of 30 minutes. list_supported_platforms reports which platforms are supported and the current limits.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to read or summarize the spoken content of a video or podcast episode and no captions are available, or when you need transcripts from links across many different hosting sites.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local runtime or package is needed. A bearer API key is required in the Authorization header, obtained through the provider's free plan. Network access to the endpoint is required.
Before you install
The server requires an API key sent in the Authorization header; keep it secret. Video URLs you submit are sent to a third-party service for processing, so avoid links to private or sensitive content. Videos longer than 30 minutes are not supported.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Video Transcript in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect Authorization token credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/cool.payload.api%2Fvideo-transcript/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
