> SHRP turns audio, video, speech, YouTube content, and text into transcripts, notes, content drafts, natural speech, saved history, and automation workflows. Basic tools work without signup. Signed-in users can save transcripts and generated outputs, reopen work later, and connect SHRP to apps or AI agents with REST API and MCP.

## Developer API

SHRP exposes a REST API for developers, automations, and AI agents. All endpoints use Bearer token auth (`Authorization: Bearer shrp_live_...`). API keys are generated at https://shrp.app/dashboard/api-keys. Full documentation is available at https://shrp.app/developers.

### Available Endpoints

- `POST /api/v1/youtube-transcript`: Extract transcript from a YouTube video URL. Returns plain text or SRT. No credits charged. Rate limit: 20 requests/key/day. Fields: `url` (required), `format` ("text" or "srt").
- `POST /api/v1/tts`: Convert text to speech using Google Neural voices. Returns base64-encoded MP3. Uses account's TTS character quota. Fields: `text`, `voiceName`, `languageCode`, `speed` (0.25–4.0).
- `POST /api/v1/transcribe`: AI file transcription via AssemblyAI. Multipart upload; returns transcript text, duration, word count, confidence, and optional speaker-labelled utterances on Starter/Pro. Fields: `file` (required), `language` (optional), `speaker_labels` (optional, Starter/Pro only). Does not store the uploaded file or create dashboard history.

### API Limits

- YouTube transcript: 20 requests/key/day, resets midnight UTC
- TTS: free accounts 500 chars/request; paid accounts 2,000 chars/request; monthly quota shared with web UI
- Transcribe: cloud 60 minutes/month; starter 200 minutes/month; pro 1500 minutes/month; 100MB direct upload
- API keys: free accounts get 2 keys; paid accounts get 10

## MCP Server

SHRP provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so AI tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf can use SHRP transcript and speech workflows with an API key. Full setup details are at https://shrp.app/mcp.

### MCP Tools

- `youtube_transcript`: Extract transcript from a YouTube URL. Returns plain text or SRT.
- `text_to_speech`: Convert text to speech. Returns base64 MP3.

Speech-to-text is available through the REST endpoint `POST /api/v1/transcribe`. The MCP transcribe tool is not exposed yet.
