Get any video's transcript directly inside Claude

Add TranscriptX as a custom connector. Takes about a minute. Works in both Claude Desktop and claude.ai — the connector syncs across both if you're signed in to the same account.

Easy way — Custom Connectors UI

1. Open Claude. In the left sidebar, click Customize.
2. Open the Connectors tab.
3. Click the + button at the top of the connectors list.
4. Choose Add custom connector.
5. Paste your URL:

   https://transcriptx.xyz/mcp/?token=YOUR_TOKEN

   Copy
6. Save. Claude connects and the TranscriptX tools show up in your next chat.

Replace YOUR_TOKEN with the personal token from your /account/mcp page. The token is in the URL — no separate auth header needed.

Power-user way — JSON config (Claude Desktop)

If you'd rather edit the config file directly, open:

• Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add to the mcpServers block:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "transcriptx": {
      "url": "https://transcriptx.xyz/mcp/?token=YOUR_TOKEN"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Same end result as the Connectors UI.

Try it

In a new chat, ask Claude:

• "Transcribe this YouTube video and pull the three best quotes: <URL>"
• "Find Lex Fridman's last 5 episodes and summarize each in two sentences."
• "Translate this Spanish video transcript to English."

If something breaks

• Connector won't save / "invalid URL". Make sure the URL has /mcp/ before ?token=.
• Tools don't show up. Start a new chat. If they're still missing, fully quit and relaunch Claude.
• "Connection refused" or 401. Token is wrong, expired, or revoked. Generate a new one at /account/mcp.
