Media - official Descript server
Descript MCP server
A hosted MCP server that lets an AI assistant import media into Descript, run edits through Descript's Underlord AI editor, search and manage projects in a Drive, publish compositions to share links, export transcripts and timelines, and track jobs. Descript hosts it at https://api.descript.com/v2/mcp with OAuth auth.

https://api.descript.com/v2/mcpNotes and caveats
- Uses OAuth with the user's Descript login, with no API token.
- Each connection is limited to one Drive, and switching Drives means logging out of Descript on the web and reconnecting.
- Imports use media minutes and Underlord edits use AI credits from the user's plan.
- There is no separate MCP charge.
- Known limits: no rendered MP4 download without publishing, no YouTube URL imports, no DOCX transcript export, and job history kept for 30 days.
- Claude's directory connector leaves out the generative image and video tools; use the custom URL for those.
- For Claude Code, the docs give only the server URL and no command.
- Cursor setup goes through the Cursor MCP marketplace listing.
- The docs describe capabilities but do not list tool names.
