How to Use the AssemblyAI MCP in Cursor
Inject live AssemblyAI transcripts directly into your codebase with Cursor's agent mode.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect AssemblyAI MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect AssemblyAI to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Generate code from audio in Cursor
The `transcribe_audio` tool feeds raw speech data into your editor context. Cursor then writes code based on what was actually said in your meetings. Stop guessing what was decided. The AI reads the `get_transcript` output and updates your files in real-time.
Reference specific transcript parts
Use `get_transcript_paragraphs` to pull large chunks of logic from audio files. Your agent uses these blocks to build documentation or feature sets. It works better than copy-pasting. The tool provides a clean text stream that the editor parses instantly.
Clean up your project transcripts
Call `list_transcripts` to see what jobs are active in your current session. You can then use `delete_transcript` to keep your project root free of clutter. This keeps your context window focused on relevant audio data. You avoid hitting limits by removing old, finished files.
