Pepys Mcp Tools (9)

transcribe

Transcribe hours-long audio or video into an accurate, speaker-labeled (diarized), timestamped transcript with correctly-timed SRT/VTT captions – work a general model can't do on a raw file. Accepts a file_ref from upload_file or a url (YouTube, podcast episode, RSS feed, Google Drive/Dropbox share). Audio is never used to train models. Returns { job_id, status }; fetch the result with get_transcription.

get_transcription

Fetch a transcription by job_id: full text, per-speaker timestamped segments, summary, duration_seconds, billed_minutes, and language. Set wait_ms (up to 25000) to long-poll so short clips come back in one call; otherwise poll until status is 'done'.

upload_file

Upload local audio/video the agent is holding (as base64 bytes or a file path) and get back a file_ref to pass to transcribe. Use this when the media has no public URL. Requires the Pepys R2 storage backend.
