Long recordings stay outside the model context
Pepys transcribes and indexes the recording first. The assistant can search the transcript and fetch the relevant passages instead of loading an hours-long transcript into one prompt.
AI assistant
Give ChatGPT a transcription workflow
Pepys connects to ChatGPT as a hosted MCP server. Add https://pepys.co/api/mcp as a custom connector where your ChatGPT workspace supports it, sign in to Pepys with OAuth, and ChatGPT can submit supported files or links, poll the transcription job, search the finished transcript, and retrieve timestamped passages and exports.
What it does
Use Pepys transcription and transcript-search tools from a compatible ChatGPT connector.
Authentication
Pepys OAuth through ChatGPT's custom connector flow; no API key for hosted MCP.
Setup
Connect in three steps
- 01
In a ChatGPT workspace that supports custom MCP connectors, open connector settings and add https://pepys.co/api/mcp.
- 02
Complete the Pepys OAuth sign-in and approve the transcription scope.
- 03
Ask ChatGPT to submit a supported file or public link, then search or export the completed transcript.
Capabilities
Built for the full transcript workflow
Structured, citable output
Return speaker-separated, timestamped transcript segments, search matches, caption exports, and the job status the assistant needs to continue its workflow.
Files, public links, and podcast feeds
Submit supported audio or video, a public media link, or a podcast feed. Pepys handles the asynchronous transcription job and preserves the source context.
Privacy and access
The connector returns only the tool result requested by ChatGPT. Pepys does not train models on your audio, and the OAuth grant can be revoked in Pepys settings.
Read the privacy policy →Pricing and credits
The connector draws from your Pepys minutes and credits. There is no separate ChatGPT integration fee; availability of custom connectors depends on your ChatGPT workspace.
See pricing →Frequently asked questions
Can every ChatGPT account add Pepys?
Pepys uses ChatGPT's custom MCP connector path, so availability depends on whether your ChatGPT plan or workspace exposes custom connectors.
Can ChatGPT search a two-hour transcript?
Yes. Pepys indexes the transcript and exposes search and retrieval tools, so the assistant can fetch relevant timestamped passages without loading everything at once.
What URL do I add?
Use https://pepys.co/api/mcp for the hosted connector. The flow then sends you to Pepys to sign in with OAuth.
