## About Descript MCP with LuumenAI

Connect Descript and Luumen can see your drive, projects, compositions, and recent jobs without leaving the terminal. Ask what is still rendering, pull a transcript, or check which composition already has a publish. When something needs to change — importing media, publishing a composition, canceling a stuck job — Luumen shows the plan first and waits for your approval by default. Auth is handled over OAuth.

## Example tools

Read-only (8 in total):

- `DESCRIPT_MCP_EXPORT_TIMELINE` — Export a project composition as a timeline file for import into another DAW/NLE (Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Pro Tools, Logic, Audition, Reaper).
- `DESCRIPT_MCP_EXPORT_TRANSCRIPT` — Export a project composition as a transcript document.
- `DESCRIPT_MCP_GET_DRIVE_INFO` — Returns the drive (workspace) connected to the current session, including its ID and name.
- `DESCRIPT_MCP_GET_PROJECT` — Get a detailed project summary including all media files, compositions, and existing publishes.
- `DESCRIPT_MCP_LIST_FOLDERS` — List folders in the drive.
- `DESCRIPT_MCP_LIST_JOBS` — List recent jobs, optionally filtered by project or type.
- `DESCRIPT_MCP_LIST_PROJECTS` — List projects accessible to the authenticated user.
- `DESCRIPT_MCP_WAIT_FOR_JOB` — Wait for a job to complete.

Write and destructive (6 in total, subject to configured approval policy):

- `DESCRIPT_MCP_CANCEL_JOB` — Cancel a queued or running job.
- `DESCRIPT_MCP_IMPORT_DRIVE_MEDIA` — Import media files into the drive media library (not into a project).
- `DESCRIPT_MCP_IMPORT_MEDIA` — Import media into a Descript project via URLs (direct links, Google Drive, Dropbox) or direct file upload.
- `DESCRIPT_MCP_PROMPT_PROJECT_AGENT` — Agent Underlord, Descript's built-in AI editor, queries, creates, and edits Descript projects using natural language.
- `DESCRIPT_MCP_PUBLISH_PROJECT` — Publish a Descript project composition as video or audio, producing a shareable URL.
- `DESCRIPT_MCP_REPORT_UPLOAD_STATUS` — Report that a specific direct upload failed, was aborted, or was abandoned so the import job stops waiting on just that file (other files keep uploading).

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to Descript MCP?

Authorize once with OAuth 2.0. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

### Can LuumenAI change things in Descript MCP on its own?

For connected tools, admins configure which actions may run automatically and which require approval, within the access granted to the user.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Descript MCP — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
