# Descript MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Descript lets your AI agent handle the heavy lifting of video and podcast production. You can manage projects, pull transcripts for content repurposing, and check export statuses without ever leaving your chat interface. It turns your media pipeline into a conversational workflow. ## Overview - **Category:** image-video - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_8eagsgAxE9fz07ak7MnGFQnckwrN3tQYzrVI8IIB/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** transcription, video-editing, podcast-production, media-assets, screen-recording, collaborative-editing ## Description Managing a high volume of video and podcast content usually means jumping between tabs, searching through folders, and manually copying text from transcripts. This Connector changes that by giving your AI agent a direct line into your Descript workspace. Instead of hunting for a specific recording or checking if a file is finished rendering, you just ask your agent to do it for you. You can pull full transcriptions to turn a long podcast into a week's worth of social posts or grab download links for a finished video. It's a way to handle the logistical side of content creation while staying focused on the creative part. If you're looking to scale your production, having this in the Vinkius catalog makes it easy to plug into your existing AI setup and keep your media assets organized. ## Tools ### list_exports See a list of all your project exports. You can use this to monitor which files are still rendering. ### list_templates See what project templates are currently available. This helps you identify the best starting point for a new video. ### list_projects See every project in your Descript account at once. This helps you keep track of what's in progress without manual browsing. ### get_project Pull specific details about a single project. Use this to check metadata or specific project settings quickly. ### list_drives View all team drives available to you. This makes it easier to navigate shared assets across a larger production team. ### create_transcription Send an audio or video file to be transcribed. This starts the process of turning raw media into usable text. ### get_transcription Fetch the text result from a previous transcription. Use this to grab the content for blog posts or subtitles. ### create_export Start the export process for a project. This triggers the rendering of your final video or audio file. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List my recent projects. ``` **Response:** ``` I found 5 projects in your Descript account: * **Tech Talk Ep 12** (last edited 2h ago) * **Product Launch Video** (last edited yesterday) * **Internal Training** (last edited 3 days ago) * **Summer Promo** (last edited last week) * **Podcast Teaser** (last edited 10 days ago) ``` **Prompt:** ``` Can you get the transcript for the 'Summer Promo' video? ``` **Response:** ``` I've pulled the transcript for **'Summer Promo'**. It's about 450 words long and covers the new discount codes and the launch date. Would you like me to: * Summarize it into 5 bullet points for a tweet? * Turn it into a short blog post? * Extract the key dates into a list? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Is the 'Product Launch' video done yet? ``` **Response:** ``` Yes, the export for **'Product Launch'** is complete. * **Format:** 1080p MP4 * **File Size:** 245 MB * **Status:** Ready Here is your download link: [Link]. It's valid for 24 hours. ``` ## Capabilities ### Pull project transcripts Get the full text from any project to repurpose into blogs or social posts. ### Monitor export status Check if your video or audio files are finished rendering and get download links. ### Search project library Find specific projects and media files across your entire Descript account. ### Navigate team drives Browse through shared drives to locate specific recordings or compositions. ### Generate transcriptions Start the process of turning raw audio or video files into usable text. ### View project templates See what templates are available to help start your next production quickly. ## Use Cases ### Turning a podcast into a blog post A podcaster needs to turn a 2-hour interview into a blog post. They ask the agent to pull the transcript for the latest episode using get_transcription. ### Checking if a video is ready A video editor wants to know if the 'Q1 Demo' is done. They ask the agent to check the export status using list_exports. ### Finding social media assets A social media manager needs to find all projects related to 'Summer Sale.' They ask the agent to list and search projects using list_projects. ### Starting a new production A creator wants to start a new podcast. They ask the agent to show them available templates to see what's possible using list_templates. ## Benefits - Get transcripts instantly using get_transcription to skip the manual copy-pasting from the editor. - Monitor production status with list_exports so you don't have to keep refreshing the Descript app. - Find assets faster by using list_drives and list_projects to query your entire library. - Start new content workflows using create_transcription to turn raw files into text automatically. - Stay organized by using list_templates to see what's available for your next production. ## How It Works The bottom line is that you get a conversational interface for your entire Descript media library. 1. Subscribe to the Descript integration on the marketplace. 2. Create an API token in your Descript account settings. 3. Ask your agent to list projects, pull transcripts, or check export statuses. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can the Descript MCP actually edit my videos?** No, this Connector is for managing your projects, pulling transcripts, and checking exports. You still need the Descript app for actual editing tasks like cutting or adding effects. **How do I get my transcripts into a blog post?** You can ask your agent to pull the transcription from a specific project. Once the agent has the text, you can then ask it to rewrite that text into a blog post format. **Can I use the Descript MCP to manage my team's files?** Yes, you can use list_drives to navigate and find specific recordings or compositions across your team's shared drives. **Does this Connector work with my existing Descript account?** Yes, it connects directly to your account using an API token. You'll just need to create that token in your Descript settings first. **How many projects can I list at once?** You can list all the projects in your account. This is great for getting a high-level view of your entire production pipeline in one go. **Can I check if my video is finished rendering?** Yes, you can use the list_exports tool to see the status of all your exports and get download links for the ones that are ready. **Is there a limit to how many transcripts I can pull?** You can pull transcripts from any project in your Descript account. This makes it easy to repurpose content across multiple platforms quickly. **How do I get my Descript API token?** Log in to your Descript account at **descript.com**. Navigate to **Settings** (click your profile icon). In the left sidebar, select **API tokens**. Click the **Create token** button, give it a descriptive name, and select the specific **Drive** you want it associated with. Copy the token immediately — it will **not** be shown again after you close the window. Paste it into the configuration field below. **Can I convert a podcast transcript into a blog post automatically?** Yes. Ask your AI agent to pull the full transcript from a Descript project, then instruct it to reformat the content into a structured blog post. It retrieves speaker labels, timestamps, and the complete text — perfect for creating show notes, summaries, or full articles from your recordings. **What if I work across multiple Descript drives?** Each API token is tied to a specific Drive. If you work across multiple drives (e.g., separate drives for different shows or clients), generate a separate token for each drive and configure multiple integrations. Your AI agent can then query projects from any of your drives. **Is this useful for agencies producing video content for clients?** Absolutely. Agencies can use the AI agent to pull transcripts across client projects, track export statuses, and retrieve download links — all from a single conversational interface. No need to log in and out of different client workspaces or manually download files from the Descript dashboard.
