Connect Ears

Ears is an MCP server: https://useears.com/mcp. You sign in once; the assistant then calls it when you ask for a transcript.

1. Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector.
2. URL: https://useears.com/mcp
3. Connect, then choose Create a free account. Save the recovery key you are shown.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http ears https://useears.com/mcp

Then run /mcp and authenticate. With a key instead: add --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY".

ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and others

Add a custom MCP connector with the same URL. Clients that cannot sign in can send your key in an Authorization: Bearer header.

Using it

• A file at a link: the link must go straight to the file. Try our sample: https://useears.com/sample.wav.
• A file on your computer (Claude Code, Cowork): ask the assistant to transcribe the file; it requests a 15-minute upload command and runs it.
• Subtitles: ask for SRT subtitles. By default you get the text only, which keeps responses short.
• Big files: the limit is 25 MB per call. Compress long recordings first: ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vn -ac 1 -ar 16000 -b:a 32k out.mp3 (about 100 minutes per 25 MB).

Three things to try

1. "Transcribe https://useears.com/sample.wav and tell me who should receive the report."
2. "Transcribe this meeting recording [link] and list the decisions and the action items with owners."
3. "Give me SRT subtitles for this talk [link]."

Ears only processes the file you point to. It never reads your conversation, your memory or the files attached to the chat.

Prices

1 credit = $0.01 = 1 minute of audio, rounded up per file, minimum 1 credit. Failed transcriptions are not charged. New accounts get 30 free credits.
