convert.express MCP server

Which MCP servers are convert.express's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Addresshttps://convert.express/mcpnot in the official registry: answered when asked

No entry in the official MCP registry names this server. It answered on convert.express when the Atlas asked at the address servers are usually mounted on, so it is the vendor's own. Clients and catalogues that list servers from the registry do not show it.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Its tools do every use case we checked: Transcribe audio and video files to text; Generate summaries and action lists from transcripts.
  • Checked on 1 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • For "Transcribe audio and video files to text", the likely first call is get_service_info.
  • For "Generate summaries and action lists from transcripts", the likely first call is request_summary.
  • Keep approval on for send_feedback: they delete, send or pay without saying so.
  • create_upload, pay_job, create_share_link, delete_job, send_feedback change data without a sign-in: anyone with the address can call them.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

  • Tools that delete, send or pay, marked as not destructive: send_feedback
  • Tools that change data, on a server that answers without a sign-in: create_upload, pay_job, create_share_link, delete_job, send_feedback

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

Tools it offers14 tools · read 2026-10-27
  • get_service_info

    Call this first when you are new to convert.express, before quoting a price to your user, or when unsure whether a file, link or language is supported. Returns one JSON object: how_to_use (which tool to call in which order), free_use…

  • estimate_cost

    Price for transcribing a recording of a given length, and how many free minutes are left today — for your IP, or for your user's account once your robot_key is linked.

  • transcribe_url

    Start transcribing a media file from a public link (direct file link, YouTube video or Simplecast podcast episode page). Returns job_id and robot_key; then poll get_job.

  • transcribe_file

    Start transcribing an audio or video file your user attached in this chat. convert.express downloads it from the chat's temporary link. Returns job_id; then poll get_job.

  • create_upload

    For a file that is neither a public link nor attached in this chat. Returns upload_url (send the file there with an HTTP PUT, then call start_transcription) and upload_page_url (a page where your user uploads the file in a browser…

  • start_transcription

    Call after the PUT to upload_url has finished. Checks the file arrived and queues it.

  • get_job

    Status and results of one job whose job_id you have (from transcribe_url, transcribe_file or create_upload; list_jobs finds a lost job_id). While status is "waiting_for_upload", "queued" or "processing", call it again every 10-20 seconds…

  • pay_job

    Pay for the full transcript of a job whose get_job status is "payment_required", with a card your user shared through a Stripe Shared Payment Token (MPP). Call without payment: you get a payment challenge with the exact price in EUR. Your…

  • list_jobs

    Your jobs that still exist (jobs are deleted 24 hours after the last activity), newest first, with their status.

  • create_share_link

    A public web page with the results of a completed job, for your user to open or send to others. Anyone with the link can see it until the job expires.

  • delete_job

    Delete the uploaded file, the transcript and all other results of a job right away, instead of 24 hours after the last activity. Cannot be undone.

  • request_summary

    Ask for an AI summary or action items of a completed job. Returns at once; the result appears in get_job ("summary" / "action_items").

  • translate

    Translate the transcript, subtitles (timecodes kept), summary or action items of a completed job into another language. Returns at once; the result appears in get_job under "translations".

  • send_feedback

    Tell the convert.express team about a bug, a missing feature, or a question — from you or your user. A human reads every message; there is no automatic reply. Include reply_email only if your user wants an answer.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "convert": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://convert.express/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http convert https://convert.express/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://convert.express/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
