How to Use the AssemblyAI MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline handle speaker diarization with AssemblyAI?

Yes, when Cline calls gettranscript, the speaker labels are included in the metadata if you enabled them. Cline will parse these labels and format the output as a clean script showing who spoke when.

Q: What happens if an AssemblyAI transcription job takes too long in Cline?

Cline will monitor the job by calling gettranscript periodically. Since Cline runs autonomously, it will wait patiently in the background and notify you once the status changes to completed.

Q: How do I clear old transcripts using this client?

Tell Cline to purge your run history. It will call listtranscripts to find the IDs, then run deletetranscript on each one to remove them from your account.

Let Cline run end-to-end transcription workflows and generate code from audio right inside VS Code.

Complete transcription workflows using this MCP Server

Cline does not just fetch text; it builds entire features around your audio data. Give Cline a video link, and it triggers `transcribe_audio` to start the speech-to-text process. It waits for the background job to finish, then pulls the text down. Once the text is ready, Cline uses `get_transcript` to read the content and immediately writes a new React component or documentation file in your workspace. You get a fully integrated feature without writing a single line of API glue code.

Granular text extraction for UI components

When you need to build interactive media players, Cline uses `get_transcript_sentences` to map text to specific timestamps. It parses the sentence-level timing data and writes the frontend logic to highlight text as the audio plays. For longer essays or podcast transcripts, Cline calls `get_transcript_paragraphs` to keep the formatting readable. It saves the structured output directly to your workspace as clean markdown files, complete with frontmatter.

Automated transcript auditing and cleanup

Manage your transcription history without leaving your editor. Cline runs `list_transcripts` to audit your active speech-to-text jobs, checking for completed files that need to be saved locally. After saving the transcripts to your repository, Cline invokes `delete_transcript` to wipe the remote copies. This keeps your data clean and prevents your workspace from holding onto sensitive audio records.
