# Ebby MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Ebby MCP lets your AI agent handle your entire transcription workflow. You can check if audio files are finished, grab the text in different formats, and see who's speaking without leaving your chat window. It connects your agent directly to the Ebby API to manage projects, monitor real-time progress, and pull content for your scripts or reports. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_7TCcCaCuBYsyMRdtlJIBMWw19vFqk6xDHv6oc1ol/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** transcription, subtitling, speech-to-text, audio-processing, video-editing, natural-language ## Description Imagine you're buried in hours of meeting recordings or raw interviews. Usually, you'd have to keep a browser tab open, refreshing the dashboard to see if the transcript is ready, then copying and pasting sections into your notes. With this Connector, your agent does the heavy lifting. You can just ask it to find that specific interview from last week or check if the latest podcast upload is finished. It pulls the actual text, identifies different speakers, and even tells you how many minutes you have left on your plan. Because it's hosted on Vinkius, you can plug it into your favorite AI client and stop babysitting your media library. It turns a multi-step manual process into a simple conversation. ## Tools ### get_ebby_account_metadata Check your current plan limits and account details.
