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

  • POSTagent_edit

    Submits an AI agent job to create or edit a Descript project using a natural language prompt.

  • DELETEcancel_job

    Cancels a running job by its UUID.

  • GETget_job

    Retrieves the status and details of a specific job by its UUID.

  • POSTimport_project_media

    Creates an async import job to bring media files from URLs into a Descript project.

  • GETlist_jobs

    Lists recent import and agent jobs with filtering and cursor-based pagination.

Project, 3 operations

  • GETget_project

    Retrieves detailed metadata for a Descript project including media files and compositions.

  • GETlist_projects

    Lists Descript projects with optional filtering by name, creator, date range, and cursor-based pagination.

  • POSTpublish_project

    Submits an async job to publish a Descript project or composition as a shareable video or audio link.

Import, 1 operation

  • POSTcreate_import_url

    Creates a one-time import URL that redirects users to the Descript import UI for media file transfer.

Published project, 1 operation

  • GETget_published_project

    Retrieves metadata for a published Descript project including title, duration, publisher info, privacy, and subtitles.

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

  1. Create your workspace

    Sign up free. Nothing to install.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
