## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, 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)

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-10-22 (score 70, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (6)

### `transcribe_url` (~129 tokens)

Transcribe audio or video from a URL (direct media link, podcast episode, or Creative-Commons YouTube). Polls until the job is done or the poll timeout elapses, then returns a transcript preview plus a link to the full transcript.

Input parameters:

- `diarize` (boolean): Label speakers in the transcript.
- `language` (string|null): ISO 639-1 language code (e.g. 'en', 'es'). Auto-detect when omitted.
- `url` (string, required): Direct media URL or supported share URL.
- `word_timestamps` (boolean): Include per-word timing.

### `transcribe_file` (~101 tokens)

Transcribe a local audio or video file. The path is never sent to telemetry. Polls until the job is done or the poll timeout elapses.

Input parameters:

- `diarize` (boolean): Label speakers in the transcript.
- `language` (string|null): ISO 639-1 language code. Auto-detect when omitted.
- `path` (string, required): Absolute path to a local media file.
- `word_timestamps` (boolean): Include per-word timing.

### `get_job_status` (~38 tokens)

Poll the current status of a transcription job by job_id.

Input parameters:

- `job_id` (string, required): Identifier returned by a previous transcribe_* call.

### `get_transcript` (~65 tokens)

Fetch a finished transcript in the requested format. Returns a 300-character preview plus a link to the full transcript; large transcripts are not inlined in the MCP response.

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): Output format.
- `job_id` (string, required): Identifier of a completed job.

### `list_recent_jobs` (~59 tokens)

List jobs submitted from this machine (local SQLite cache). Stores only job_id, source kind, status, duration, and created-at timestamp — never URLs, file paths, or transcripts.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of jobs to return.

### `transcribe_urls_batch` (~150 tokens)

Transcribe a list of URLs (YouTube, podcast, direct media) concurrently. Submit up to 20 URLs in one call; each job runs in parallel and the tool returns when all are done or failed. Per-URL failures do not abort the batch. Ideal for building a second-brain knowledge base from a playlist or a curated list of videos.

Input parameters:

- `diarize` (boolean): Label speakers in every transcript.
- `language` (string|null): ISO 639-1 language code. Auto-detect when omitted.
- `urls` (array, required): List of media URLs to transcribe (max 20).
- `word_timestamps` (boolean): Include per-word timing in every transcript.

## Common questions

### What is the io.github.neugence/whipscribe-mcp server?

io.github.neugence/whipscribe-mcp is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.neugence/whipscribe-mcp. Transcribe audio/video files or URLs via the WhipScribe cloud API and fetch the transcript. This page covers its PyPI package (whipscribe-mcp).

### Is the io.github.neugence/whipscribe-mcp server safe to use?

io.github.neugence/whipscribe-mcp scores 70 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 22 October 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 io.github.neugence/whipscribe-mcp server expose?

io.github.neugence/whipscribe-mcp exposes 6 tools: transcribe_url, transcribe_file, get_job_status, get_transcript, list_recent_jobs, transcribe_urls_batch. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 542 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the io.github.neugence/whipscribe-mcp server still maintained?

io.github.neugence/whipscribe-mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 22 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the io.github.neugence/whipscribe-mcp server under?

io.github.neugence/whipscribe-mcp declares the Apache-2.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
