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.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings 3Scribe data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 4 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

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)

3Scribe + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating 3Scribe MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
