Frequently asked questions
How do I check the status of a transcription job I just started?
Use the get_transcription tool with the Job ID. It will return the current status (queued, processing, done, or error) and the results if completed.
Can I automatically identify different speakers in a recording?
Yes! When using init_transcription, set the diarization parameter to true. The AI will then distinguish between different voices in the transcript.
How do I handle a local audio file that isn't online yet?
First, use the upload_audio_file tool by providing the base64 data and filename. This will give you an audio_url that you can then pass to init_transcription.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
