The TokScript MCP connector and the website both access the same features and data. Here's what's the same and what's different.
The Same:
Transcripts: Identical quality, same 99% accuracy across platforms.
Engagement Stats: Same metrics (likes, comments, shares, views, hashtags, etc.).
Downloads: Same HD videos with no watermark (TikTok and Instagram).
Creator Lookups: Same profile data (followers, likes, video count).
Library: Same stored transcripts accessible from both MCP and website.
Translations: Same 11+ language support.
Pricing & Limits: Free plan limits (5 transcripts/day, 5 translations/day) and paid plans (unlimited) apply to both.
What's Different:
| Feature | Website | MCP (Claude/ChatGPT) |
|---------|---------|----------------------|
| Transcription | Single or bulk | Single or bulk |
| Analysis | You analyze manually | Claude/ChatGPT analyzes for you |
| Repurposing | You copy/paste text | Claude/ChatGPT generates variations |
| Folder Management | Full UI for organizing | Not available (library browsing only) |
| AI Agents | Viral Hook Generator, Viral Script Writer, Virality Explainer | Not available |
| Chrome Extension | Has extension features | Not available |
| Account Settings | Full access | Not available |
| Speed | Instant or async (50+ videos) | Instant or async (50+ videos) |
The Trade-Off:
Website:
Pro: Complete control, all features, full folder organization.
Con: You do the analysis and writing yourself.
MCP (Claude/ChatGPT):
Pro: AI does the heavy lifting (analysis, copywriting, insights).
Con: No folder management, no AI Agents, no account settings.
Which Should You Use?
Use the Website for: Managing your account, organizing transcripts in folders, using the AI Agents, bulk imports, and full control.
Use MCP for: Quick transcription, analysis, repurposing, and instant AI insights.
Most power users use both. For example:
Transcribe through MCP (faster, built into your workflow).
Organize and manage transcripts on the website.
Use the Viral Hook Generator on the website for inspiration.
Use Claude through MCP to analyze and repurpose.
Your Library is Universal:
All transcripts you create—whether through the website, MCP, or Chrome Extension—go into the same library. You can access them anywhere.
