Setup steps:

1. In Claude Code run /plugin marketplace add descriptinc/descript-mcp and then /plugin install descript@descript, or add only the server with claude mcp add --transport http descript https://api.descript.com/v2/mcp
2. Sign in to Descript when asked and pick the Drive the agent can use
3. Ask it to import a file and transcribe it, then open the project in Descript

Safety notes:

* It works in whichever Descript Drive you sign in to, so pick a test Drive or folder first
* Imports and AI edits spend media minutes and AI credits. When they run out, requests fail
* Descript says to connect it only once. Two Descript servers side by side cause conflicting sessions
