Frequently asked questions
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.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
