Use Descript on Gamut

What is Descript MCP?

The Descript MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects Descript to AI agents and assistants as a set of tools. With it connected, an agent can work with Descript (audio and video editing — transcribe, edit by text, and produce media) directly — instead of you copying data in and out by hand.

It is a remote MCP server that uses a bearer token, so you point your client at the server URL, authorize once, and the Descript tools become available to the model.

Using Descript MCP with Gamut
