Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
transcribe_urlA

Transcribe audio or video from a URL (direct media link, podcast episode, or Creative-Commons YouTube). Polls until the job is done or the poll timeout elapses, then returns a transcript preview plus a link to the full transcript.

transcribe_fileA

Transcribe a local audio or video file. The path is never sent to telemetry. Polls until the job is done or the poll timeout elapses.

get_job_statusA

Poll the current status of a transcription job by job_id.

get_transcriptA

Fetch a finished transcript in the requested format. Returns a 300-character preview plus a link to the full transcript; large transcripts are not inlined in the MCP response.

list_recent_jobsA

List jobs submitted from this machine (local SQLite cache). Stores only job_id, source kind, status, duration, and created-at timestamp — never URLs, file paths, or transcripts.

transcribe_urls_batchA

Transcribe a list of URLs (YouTube, podcast, direct media) concurrently. Submit up to 20 URLs in one call; each job runs in parallel and the tool returns when all are done or failed. Per-URL failures do not abort the batch. Ideal for building a second-brain knowledge base from a playlist or a curated list of videos.
