Get any video's transcript directly inside Cursor
Cursor's chat panel can call MCP tools. Add TranscriptX once and any agent thread in any project can pull transcripts on demand.
Steps
- Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add new server.
- Fill in:
- Name:
TranscriptX - Type:
streamableHttp(orhttpon older Cursor versions) - URL:
https://transcriptx.xyz/mcp/?token=YOUR_TOKEN
- Name:
- Save. Cursor connects and shows the tools in the chat panel's tool list.
Replace YOUR_TOKEN with the personal token from /account/mcp.
Try it
Open the chat panel and ask. Tap any prompt to copy it.
Make Cursor watch the video
watch_url gives the agent the actual frames plus a timestamped transcript,
so it can read UI that's only ever shown on screen — never spoken aloud.
Watching costs 2 credits per video. A plain transcript is 1.
Or just get the words
If something breaks
- Server status: error. Re-check the URL — no extra spaces, must include
/mcp/. - Tools don't appear. Toggle the server off/on in Settings → MCP.
- "Type unsupported". Update Cursor; older builds only support
http. - 401. Token is wrong, expired, or revoked. Generate a new one at /account/mcp.
