Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect 3Scribe MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect 3Scribe to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Process media in VS Code Copilot
Calling the `create_job` tool sends a public media URL from your editor to the processing queue. Copilot grabs the tracking ID so you know exactly which file is currently running. Retrieving the final transcript requires the `get_job` command. The chat interface pulls the generated text straight into your IDE, letting you build features around actual conversational data.
Query your 3Scribe history
Executing the `list_jobs` tool returns a paginated view of every transcription task on your account. Teams use this to review historical audio processing jobs without leaving their coding environment. Copilot formats the JSON response into a readable table. You instantly see which files failed and which succeeded, keeping your development cycle entirely contained within the editor.
Clear data via the MCP Server
The `delete_job` tool acts as an irreversible destructive command for any specific transcription task. Providing the Job ID permanently wipes both the record and the associated text from the account. IT policies often require strict data retention limits. Copilot executes this hard delete the second you finish testing your audio integration, ensuring compliance.
