Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Speechmatics
Ask your AI to transcribe a recording and it starts a Speechmatics batch job for audio at a public URL. It can check whether the job is done, fetch the transcript and work with the text right away, for example to summarize a meeting. It can also list recent jobs, show how many hours of audio you have processed and delete old jobs.
Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

Questions
What can the AI do in Speechmatics?
The AI can start batch transcription jobs for audio at a public URL, list recent jobs, read a job's status and settings, fetch the finished transcript, read usage statistics and delete a job with its transcript.
Does the AI see my Speechmatics credentials?
No. Your Speechmatics credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.
Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?
Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can let the AI read jobs and transcripts without starting new ones. Deleting a job is permanent and can require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.
Does it work with ChatGPT?
Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.
What does it cost?
PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Speechmatics account.
Can the AI transcribe a file on my computer?
Not directly. The AI starts a job by giving Speechmatics a URL where it can fetch the audio, so the file needs to be reachable at a public link. Realtime transcription is not included, only batch jobs.
