## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-17.

- **Endpoint Security**: 83/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 63/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2407 tokens (~401/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 32/100
  - Stability check failed: schema churn in the 14 days we've observed: 1 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 0 additions.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

Transcribes one audio or video file the user owns or may use into timestamped text with SRT and VTT captions. Best for: "transcribe this podcast episode", "make subtitles for my video", "what is said in this file". Returns: language, length, timestamped segments, SRT and VTT (trim with include), transcript_id, expires_at (kept 24 hours, the media is never kept), minutes left today, and library_id when the caller has no user id. Input tips: pass the uploaded file as file, or a direct link to the media file as url, never both. Set confirm_rights true only after the user says they own the recording or have the rights; otherwise ask. Pass library_id from an earlier answer to keep transcripts in one library. Not for: pages of YouTube, TikTok, Douyin or other platforms, files over 15 MB or 15 minutes, or other people's videos. Ask the user to upload their own file instead. Formats: mp3, m4a, mp4, wav, ogg, flac, webm. A daily allowance of minutes applies per user and in total.

Input parameters:

Returns: passages with transcript_id, start and end in seconds, a clock time and a snippet; repeated themes with counts; and the live transcripts. Input tips: pass query for passages; leave it out to list the transcripts and their themes. Pass library_id when transcribe_media returned one. Only the caller's own transcripts are searched (the latest 10, kept 24 hours). Not for: transcribing a file (use transcribe_media) or searching the web.

Input parameters:

### `translate_subtitles` (~528 tokens)

Translate subtitles and make a dub script

Returns: translated SRT and VTT with the original times, and a dub script with one spoken line per segment, its start and end, max_chars and a fit of ok, tight or long (trim with include). Nothing is stored. Input tips: always pass target_lang. Give exactly one of transcript_id (with library_id when transcribe_media returned one) or subtitles, the text of an SRT or VTT file. With subtitles also pass source_lang and confirm_rights true, only after the user says they own the media or may use it.

## Common questions

### What is the Transcript Kit MCP server?

Transcript Kit is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as app.openkrill/transcript-kit. Turn a recording you own into a timestamped transcript with SRT and VTT captions and clips. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://transcript.openkrill.app/mcp).

### Is the Transcript Kit MCP server safe to use?

Transcript Kit scores 77 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Transcript Kit MCP server expose?

Transcript Kit exposes 6 tools: transcribe_media, search_transcripts, suggest_clips, translate_subtitles, submit_feedback, get_feedback_reply. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,019 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Transcript Kit MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Transcript Kit without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the Transcript Kit MCP server still maintained?

Transcript Kit is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 17 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
