This one needs environment variables set before it will start: TRANSCRIBE_MCP_WALLET_KEY (Private key of a wallet holding a little USDC on Base (eip155:8453). Only needed for the paid tools; the server starts and lists prices without it.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Transcribe MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Transcribe MCP?

Transcribe MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package transcribe-mcp was installed 33 times last week.

How do I connect Transcribe MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls transcribe-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Transcribe MCP?

The npm package transcribe-mcp was installed 33 times in the last week. Week over week that is -15%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Transcribe MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
