What is the Speechmatics MCP Server?

Connect Speechmatics to your AI agent to handle advanced audio processing workflows. This server enables high-accuracy transcription and natural-sounding speech synthesis through a simple interface.

What you can do

  • Batch Transcription — Submit audio via URL or base64 and process large files with industry-leading accuracy using create_job.
  • Text-to-Speech (TTS) — Convert text into natural human speech using high-quality voices like Sarah, Theo, Megan, or Jack via generate_tts.
  • Transcript Retrieval — Export completed transcriptions in multiple formats including JSON, plain text, or SRT subtitles using get_transcript.
  • Job Management — Monitor the status of your processing tasks, list recent activity, and manage resources with list_jobs and get_job.
  • Usage & Security — Track your account consumption with get_usage and generate temporary keys for secure client-side access using create_temp_key.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Speechmatics API Key
  3. Start transcribing audio or generating speech directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client

Who is this for?

  • Content Creators — Automatically generate subtitles (SRT) for videos or transcribe podcasts in seconds.
  • Developers — Integrate speech capabilities into apps without managing complex audio infrastructure.
  • Data Analysts — Convert large volumes of recorded meetings or calls into searchable text for analysis.

Why VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Speechmatics data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 8 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

  • VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor

  • Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access

  • Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop

  • GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

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.

08

MCP tools not available

Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
