What the Descript MCP Server unlocks
Connect Descript to your AI agent and manage your video and podcast production pipeline conversationally.
What you can do
- Project Management — List, search, and retrieve project details including compositions, transcripts, and media files.
- Transcript Access — Pull full transcriptions from any Descript project for repurposing into blog posts, social content, or subtitles.

Frequently asked questions about the Descript MCP Server
How do I get my Descript API token?
Log in to your Descript account at descript.com. Navigate to Settings (click your profile icon). In the left sidebar, select API tokens. Click the Create token button, give it a descriptive name, and select the specific Drive you want it associated with. Copy the token immediately — it will not be shown again after you close the window. Paste it into the configuration field below.
Can I convert a podcast transcript into a blog post automatically?
Yes. Ask your AI agent to pull the full transcript from a Descript project, then instruct it to reformat the content into a structured blog post. It retrieves speaker labels, timestamps, and the complete text — perfect for creating show notes, summaries, or full articles from your recordings.
What if I work across multiple Descript drives?
Each API token is tied to a specific Drive. If you work across multiple drives (e.g., separate drives for different shows or clients), generate a separate token for each drive and configure multiple integrations. Your AI agent can then query projects from any of your drives.
Is this useful for agencies producing video content for clients?
Absolutely. Agencies can use the AI agent to pull transcripts across client projects, track export statuses, and retrieve download links — all from a single conversational interface. No need to log in and out of different client workspaces or manually download files from the Descript dashboard.
