Search your entire library
Full-text search across a single transcription or an entire project. Ask about a topic and Claude finds every place it came up, no matter which recording it was in.
UniScribe + Claude
Chat with Your Transcripts in Claude
Connect claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code to your UniScribe library through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Sign in once and ask questions in plain language — answers come grounded in your own recordings, every claim cited back to the exact moment in the transcript.
- One-click OAuth connect
- Can't edit or delete anything
- Free reads, minutes only to transcribe
What Claude can do with your transcripts
Seven tools let Claude browse, read, and search everything you've transcribed with UniScribe — and submit new recordings for transcription, one file or a whole project at a time.
Answers with citations
Every result carries the filename, speaker, timestamp, and the original excerpt, plus a deep link that jumps straight to that position in the UniScribe transcript view.
Summarize hours in seconds
Turn long meetings, interviews, and lectures into summaries, action items, or follow-up emails — without pasting transcripts into the chat by hand.
Safe to connect
Claude can read your library and submit new audio for transcription — it can't edit or delete anything in your account, and read queries don't consume transcription minutes.
See it in action
Ask a question, get the answer with verbatim quotes and timestamp ranges pulled straight from your recordings.
Set up the Claude integration
Every Claude surface connects with OAuth — one URL, one sign-in, no API key anywhere.
claude.ai & Claude Desktop
Recommended · No API keyAdd UniScribe as a custom connector once and it works across claude.ai web, mobile, and Claude Desktop.
- 1
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose “Add custom connector”.
- 2
Name it UniScribe, paste the server URL, and click Continue:
Server URLhttps://mcp.uniscribe.co/mcp
- 3
On the authentication screen, keep the detected defaults — Authentication “Always required” and OAuth client “Use Anthropic's hosted client metadata” — and click Add.
- 4
Click Connect — you'll be taken to UniScribe to sign in and approve access, then sent straight back to Claude.
- 5
Enable the connector in your chat and ask something like “list my recent UniScribe transcriptions” to confirm it works.
Custom connectors are available on paid Claude plans. You can disconnect at any time from UniScribe's Settings → Connected Apps, or from Claude's connector settings.
Claude Code
One command · OAuthClaude Code connects with the same OAuth sign-in as claude.ai — no API key to create or paste.
- 1
Add the server in your terminal:
Terminalclaude mcp add uniscribe --transport http https://mcp.uniscribe.co/mcp - 2
Start a Claude Code session, type /mcp, select uniscribe, and choose Authenticate — your browser opens the UniScribe sign-in, and you're connected once you approve.
- 3
Ask something like “list my recent UniScribe transcriptions” to confirm the connection.
Example prompts to try
Once connected, talk to your transcript library the way you'd ask a colleague who was in every meeting.
“Summarize the key points from my recent interviews.”
“Search my Customer Research project for every mention of pricing objections.”
“What did the customer say about onboarding in yesterday's call? Quote them with timestamps.”
“Draft a follow-up email based on my latest sales call transcript.”
Privacy and security
The integration is built to give Claude the minimum access needed to answer your questions — and nothing more.
Read-only access
The current tools expose only read operations — nothing Claude does through them can change, delete, or add data in your UniScribe account.
Queries aren't recorded
UniScribe doesn't store the content of the questions you ask through MCP. Your conversations stay between you and Claude.
Revocable anytime
Access is tied to an OAuth connection you control. Disconnect it in Settings → Connected Apps at any time and the integration is cut off immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anyone with API access on UniScribe: an active subscription or a lifetime deal (LTD) plan. Every Claude surface — claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code — connects via OAuth: you just sign in and approve, no API key needed.
The MCP server is included with API access at no extra cost. Reading and searching don't consume transcription minutes; if you ask Claude to transcribe a new recording, that consumes minutes exactly like an upload in the app.
Yes. Add UniScribe as a custom connector (Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector), paste the server URL, and sign in with your UniScribe account — no API key needed. Custom connectors are available on paid Claude plans; the same connection then works across claude.ai web, mobile, and Claude Desktop.
Open Dashboard → Settings → Connected Apps and disconnect the app — access is cut off immediately, for every Claude surface at once.
That's expected after revoking: Claude may still show the connector as connected, but its credentials no longer work — your data stays protected. To reconnect, open the UniScribe connector in Claude, click Disconnect, then Connect again and approve access. The tools come right back.
No. The MCP tools expose transcript text and metadata only — titles, speakers, timestamps, and segments. Your original audio and video files aren't accessible through the integration.
