Descript integration

Audio and video editing platform with AI-powered transcription and editing. The API enables importing media files, creating AI-driven edits via natural language prompts, managing async jobs, retrieving published project metadata, and partner integrations for media transfer into Descript.

The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Descript.Built from the 10 Descript tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with Descript

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Job, 5 operations

agent_editAgent editPOSTSubmits an AI agent job to create or edit a Descript project using a natural language prompt.
cancel_jobCancel jobDELETECancels a running job by its UUID.
get_jobGet jobGETRetrieves the status and details of a specific job by its UUID.
import_project_mediaImport project mediaPOSTCreates an async import job to bring media files from URLs into a Descript project.
list_jobsList jobsGETLists recent import and agent jobs with filtering and cursor-based pagination.

Project, 3 operations

list_projectsList projectsGETLists Descript projects with optional filtering by name, creator, date range, and cursor-based pagination.
publish_projectPublish projectPOSTSubmits an async job to publish a Descript project or composition as a shareable video or audio link.

Import, 1 operation

Use Descript from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Descript in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Descript operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

How to connect Descript

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect Descript once
Add your Descript connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
