Connect in 30 seconds

One hosted endpoint. Sign in through your browser on first use.

https://gateway.mcpal.io/mcp/transcriptor

Paste this into an MCP client, not a browser. The first connection opens an OAuth 2.1 sign-in page in your browser; approve it once and the client keeps the session.

Your client:

Open Settings → Customize → Connectors
Select Add → Add custom connector
Paste the endpoint, then select Add

Works on the web and in the desktop app.

Claude connectors help

claude mcp add --transport http transcriptor https://gateway.mcpal.io/mcp/transcriptor

Then run /mcp and approve the sign-in in the browser.
