What is the AssemblyAI MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire audio intelligence and transcription workflow with AssemblyAI, the leading platform for speech-to-text. By connecting AssemblyAI to your agent, you transform complex audio processing into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly start transcription jobs from any URL, audit transcript results with high confidence, and manage job history without you ever touching a technical console. Whether you are analyzing podcast content or transcribing meetings, your agent acts as a real-time linguistic assistant, ensuring your audio data is always accessible and searchable.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my AssemblyAI API Key?
Log in to your AssemblyAI dashboard, and you will find your API Key on the main home page. Copy and paste it below.
What audio formats are supported?
AssemblyAI supports most common audio and video formats, including MP3, WAV, AAC, MP4, and others. Simply provide a public URL to the file.
Can the agent identify different speakers?
Yes. When starting a job via transcribe_audio, set the speaker_labels parameter to true. Your agent will return the text categorized by speaker ID.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
