HappyScribe Just Launched an MCP Server — Your Meetings Now Talk to Your AI

We’re excited to announce the launch of HappyScribe’s MCP Server, bringing your transcription and meeting data directly into the AI tools you already use — like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot.

No more switching tabs. No more searching through dozens of transcripts. Just ask.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants securely connect to external services. Think of it as a universal plug that allows your AI tools to access real data from the platforms you use every day.

With HappyScribe's MCP Server, your AI assistant becomes a direct window into your transcription library, meeting history, and media files.

What Can You Do With It?

Once connected, your AI assistant can tap into the full breadth of HappyScribe's services.

Search and Retrieve

Find transcripts instantly by searching across all your recordings by keyword, speaker, topic, or date. Pull exact quotes with timestamps and direct links back to the editor.

Summarize and Analyze

Get concise summaries of any transcript without opening HappyScribe. Spot patterns, recurring topics, or action items across multiple recordings. Ask questions across files, like "What did our customers say about pricing in the last 10 calls?"

Create and Transcribe

Upload and transcribe new files by sending audio, video, or even a public URL. Choose between AI-powered transcription or professional human proofreading, just like in the app.

Knowledge and People

Explore the knowledge graph to discover people, companies, and topics mentioned across your recordings. Check recording status, calendar events, and conversation metadata.

Who Is This For?

If you use HappyScribe and work with an AI assistant, this is for you. Here are some scenarios where it really shines.

Content and Media Teams — "Find every mention of our brand across last month's interviews and pull the exact quotes with timestamps."

Research and Insights — "Summarize the key themes from the 15 user interviews we did in February."

Operations and Leadership — "What action items came out of last week's all-hands meeting?"

Sales and Customer Success — "What were the top 3 objections prospects raised this quarter?"

Other MCP-Compatible Tools

MCP is an open standard supported by a growing number of AI tools, including Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity. As these platforms roll out custom MCP server support, you will be able to connect HappyScribe using the same server URL: https://www.happyscribe.com/mcp with OAuth 2.0 authentication. We will update this guide as more platforms become available.

Security and Privacy

We take your data seriously.

OAuth 2.0 authentication — You control exactly which account is connected.

On-demand access only — Transcripts are accessed only when you explicitly request them in your prompts.

No conversation logging — HappyScribe does not store or log the conversations you have with your AI assistant.

Your existing privacy policy applies — The same data protections you already have with HappyScribe extend to MCP access.
