Get any video's transcript directly inside Claude

Easy way · Custom connectors UI

1. Open Claude. In the left sidebar, click Customize.
2. Open the Connectors tab.
3. Click the + button at the top of the connectors list.
4. Choose Add custom connector.
5. Paste your URL:
   Copy

   https://transcriptx.xyz/mcp/?token=YOUR_TOKEN

6. Save. Claude connects, and the TranscriptX tools show up in your next chat.

Replace YOUR_TOKEN with the personal token from your /account/mcp page. The token lives in the URL, so there's no separate auth header to add.

Power-user way · JSON config (Claude Desktop)

If you'd rather edit the config file directly, open:

• Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add this to the mcpServers block:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "transcriptx": {
      "url": "https://transcriptx.xyz/mcp/?token=YOUR_TOKEN"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Same result as the Connectors UI.

Try it

Make Claude watch the video

watch_url hands Claude the actual frames plus a timestamped transcript and the real view, like, and comment counts. That's how it can tell you what's happening on screen, not only what was said. Tap any prompt to copy it.

Watching costs 2 credits per video. A plain transcript is 1.

Or just get the words

If something breaks

• Connector won't save, or "invalid URL". Make sure the URL has /mcp/ before ?token=.
• Tools don't show up. Start a new chat. If they're still missing, fully quit and relaunch Claude.
• "Connection refused" or 401. The token is wrong, expired, or revoked. Generate a new one at /account/mcp.
