How do I start a new transcription?

Use the `create_job` tool and provide the public URL of your audio or video file. Your agent will initiate the process and provide a Job ID.

Can I check if a transcription is finished?

Yes. Use the `get_job` tool with the Job ID. It will return the current status and, if completed, the transcribed text.

How can I clean up my transcription history?

Use the `delete_job` tool and provide the Job ID. This permanently removes the transcription data from your 3Scribe account.

About 3Scribe MCP Server

Unlock the power of spoken word with 3Scribe, your automated partner for high-precision audio and video transcription. By connecting 3Scribe to your AI agent, you eliminate the friction of manual data entry from media files. Your agent can now orchestrate the entire transcription lifecycle—from submitting public URLs to auditing job statuses and retrieving final text—all through simple natural language commands. Whether it’s meeting minutes or video captions, your agent acts as a direct bridge to 3Scribe's powerful recognition engine.

Cursor's Agent mode turns 3Scribe into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from 3Scribe and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 4 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

What you can do

Automated Transcription — Create new transcription jobs by providing a public URL to your audio or video files
Job Monitoring — Track the status of your transcriptions in real-time (Requested, Processing, Completed, Error)
Text Retrieval — Access raw text transcripts or detailed word-level data with timestamps and speaker IDs
Project Management — List all transcription jobs, filter by status, and delete old or unnecessary projects
Language Detection — Specify transcription languages or let the AI auto-detect the spoken language

3Scribe + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating 3Scribe MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
