Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Gladia (Speech AI) MCP Server?
Connect Gladia to your AI agent to unlock enterprise-grade speech-to-text capabilities. Process audio files or live streams with advanced features like speaker diarization, multi-language translation, and automated summarization.
What you can do
- Audio Processing — Upload local files to generate secure URLs for immediate transcription processing.
- Advanced Transcription — Initiate jobs with speaker diarization (who said what), summarization, and translation across 100+ languages.
- Audio-to-LLM — Apply custom LLM prompts directly to your audio data to extract specific insights or structured data.
- Live Streaming — Initialize secure WebSocket sessions for real-time transcription of meetings or broadcasts.
- Job Management — List, retrieve, and manage your transcription history and results directly through conversation.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Gladia API Key
- Start transcribing audio files or live streams from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Developers — Integrate speech-to-text workflows into apps without managing complex API calls manually.
- Content Creators — Quickly generate transcripts, summaries, and translations for podcasts or videos.
- Business Teams — Analyze meeting recordings to extract action items and speaker insights using natural language.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Gladia (Speech AI) in Pydantic AI
The Gladia (Speech AI) MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 6 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Pydantic AI only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
Gladia (Speech AI) for Pydantic AI
Every tool call from Pydantic AI to the Gladia (Speech AI) MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
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 does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?
Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.
Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?
Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.
Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?
Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your Gladia (Speech AI) MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
