Frequently asked questions

What is the best open-source transcription agent?

How do I use a transcription agent from my editor or AI assistant?

Run 'npx -y beacon-mcp' to add Beacon as an MCP server in Cursor, Claude Desktop, Cline, or Windsurf, then ask your AI to find a transcription agent.

Can autonomous AI agents discover transcription tools programmatically?

Yes. Agents read https://registry-ruby.vercel.app/llms.txt and call POST /api/v1/discover with {"query": "transcription"} — no API key required.
