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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple 3Scribe tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 4 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your 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)
- 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
The 3Scribe MCP Server exposes 4 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
