TranscriptionTools MCP Server: AI Formatting & Smart Summaries

TranscriptionTools MCP Server

An MCP server providing intelligent transcript processing capabilities, featuring natural formatting, contextual repair, and smart summarization powered by Deep Thinking LLMs.

Available MCP Tools

This MCP server exposes four powerful tools for transcript processing:

1. repair_text - Analyzes and repairs transcription errors with greater than 90% confidence
2. get_repair_log - Retrieves detailed analysis logs from previous repairs
3. format_transcript - Transforms timestamped transcripts into naturally formatted text
4. summary_text - Generates intelligent summaries using ACE cognitive methodology

Core Technologies

Natural Formatting

• Removes timestamps while preserving speech patterns
• Applies intelligent spacing based on pause duration
• Respects natural grammar and language flow
• Maintains exact transcribed content

Contextual Repair

• Identifies and corrects likely transcription errors
• Uses semantic context for high-confidence corrections
• Maintains detailed logs of all changes
• 90% confidence threshold for corrections
• No original audio required

Smart Summarization

• Creates concise summaries of processed transcripts
• Supports multiple constraint types:
  • Time-based (speaking duration)
  • Character count
  • Word count
• Preserves key information and context
• Maintains natural speaking rhythm

Configuration

You can customize the server behavior by modifying the source code directly. The key configuration parameters are found in the respective tool implementation files:

// In src/tools/formatting.ts
const paragraph_gap = 8; // seconds
const line_gap = 4;      // seconds

// In src/tools/repair.ts
const confidence_threshold = 90; // percentage

// In src/tools/summary.ts
const default_speaking_pace = 150; // words per minute
