How to Use the Castmagic MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I add the Castmagic MCP server to Claude Code?

Run the claude mcp add command in your terminal. Make sure you put the --transport http flag before the server name and Vinkius URL.

Q: Can I use Claude Code to get Castmagic speaker lists?

Yes. The agent calls listtranscriptspeakers and returns the names directly to your console. You can then pipe that output into a text file or a jq script.

Q: How does Claude Code read my Castmagic transcripts?

It uses the gettranscriptdetails tool to fetch the raw text. Because it operates in the terminal, you can have it parse that text and grep for specific keywords automatically.

Q: Is it possible to list all my audio recordings from the command line?

You just ask your agent to list them. It triggers listcastmagicrecordings and prints the IDs and titles directly to your standard output.

Pipe audio transcripts and social posts directly into your terminal workflows with Claude Code and this MCP Server.

Perplexity

Trigger transcriptions from the CLI

Processing media files shouldn't require opening a browser window. You can trigger a new job straight from your terminal by passing a video URL to the `create_new_transcript` tool. Since this runs headlessly, you can drop the command into a shell script or a CI/CD pipeline. Your deployment process can automatically transcribe release videos before pushing them to production.

Fetch content via Castmagic MCP Server

Pulling down marketing assets usually involves clicking through a web interface. Now you just ask your terminal agent to execute `get_magic_content` for a specific recording ID. The agent grabs the show notes and formatted social posts, outputting them directly to stdout. You can pipe that text right into a file or pass it along to another CLI tool for publishing.

Audit storage via terminal commands

Managing gigabytes of audio requires keeping an eye on your limits. A quick command prompts your agent to run `get_castmagic_account` and print your current minute usage to the console. When you need to clean house, you just tell the agent to purge old files. It pulls the inventory via `list_transcripts` and loops through `delete_transcript` to scrub the data without you ever touching a mouse.
