Perplexity

Cascade auto-transcribes video files via MCP Server

Feed a raw audio or video file to Cascade to run `create_transcription`. It fires the tool and polls `get_transcription` on its own to fetch the text, skipping the manual upload hassle. You don't have to monitor the job. Windsurf manages the loop, pulls the finished transcript, and drops it right into your open editor window.

Direct project exporting from Windsurf

Let Cascade trigger `create_export` over the MCP Server when your edits are finished. It monitors the render status with `list_exports` so you know exactly when the file is ready to share. This keeps your focus on code. Cascade tracks the export queue while you write logic, and alerts you the second Descript finishes cooking the file.

Browse Descript drive assets inside Cascade

Stop bouncing to the browser and let Cascade run `list_drives` and `list_projects` to map out your entire workspace organization. Once it locates the target, the agent uses `get_project` to grab file details and `list_templates` to prepare matching layouts for your next video batch.
