Audio & Video Transcription (Whisper) — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Audio & Video Transcription (Whisper)?

The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.

Is Audio & Video Transcription (Whisper) working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 63 of 63 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 345 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Audio & Video Transcription (Whisper)?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You will need your own key: it refuses anonymous clients.

Does Audio & Video Transcription (Whisper) need an API key?

Yes. Every time we knock, Audio & Video Transcription (Whisper) answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.

How fast is Audio & Video Transcription (Whisper)?

It answers our handshake in 345 ms on average, which is faster than 39% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
