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.
