Frequently asked questions
What formats can I get my transcripts in?
You can use the get_transcript tool to retrieve results in json, txt, or srt (subtitle) formats. Simply specify the format parameter when calling the tool.
Which voices are available for Text-to-Speech?
The generate_tts tool supports four high-quality voices: sarah, theo, megan, and jack. You can choose the one that best fits your content's tone.
How do I check if my transcription job is finished?
Use the get_job tool with your specific job_id. It will return the current status (e.g., running, completed) and metadata about the processing task.
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.
