to Windsurf
Learn how to connect Speechnotes to Windsurf and start using 12 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Speechnotes MCP Server?
Connect your Speechnotes account to any AI agent to automate your professional audio transcription and speech-to-text orchestration. Speechnotes provides a high-accuracy AI engine for converting audio files into text, and this integration allows you to initiate transcription jobs from URLs, monitor progress, and export results through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Transcription Orchestration — Initiate new transcription jobs from audio URLs and retrieve real-time status updates programmatically.
- Job & History Lifecycle Management — List all past transcription jobs and retrieve detailed metadata, including timestamps and speaker counts directly from the AI interface.
- Export & Format Control — Retrieve transcribed text in multiple formats (TXT, DOCX, SRT) and manage file exports via simple AI commands.
- Language & Model Intelligence — Access available transcription languages and AI models to ensure your results are optimized for your specific content.
- Operational Monitoring — Check your account credits, monitor usage statistics, and manage webhooks to ensure your transcription pipeline is always synchronized.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Speechnotes API credentials?
Log in to your Speechnotes account and navigate to the API or developer section in your dashboard to find your unique API Key and API Secret.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
