How to integrate Gladia using MCP
Transcribe and analyze pre-recorded audio. This guide creates an MCP server from Arthur's Gladia template — tools preconfigured against https://api.gladia.io/v2 — and finishes by sharing the server's MCP swagger documentation.
Steps
Open the Secrets vault and create a secret named
GLADIA_API_KEYholding your API key. Create a Gladia API key and send it in the x-gladia-key header. Store only the key value in Arthur MCP Secrets.


Go to the REST API Templates gallery and search for Gladia.


Click Use template on the Gladia card to open the server-creation dialog.


Review the server name and select
GLADIA_API_KEYin the credential field — the dialog only accepts vault secrets, and it lists every tool that will be created.


Click Create server. Arthur creates the server, applies the authentication, and generates all the tools.





Open the server's Tools tab to review the generated tools.

Open the server's Connect section and click Share the MCP swagger documentation — Arthur generates the public documentation link and QR code for this server.



Confirm it worked
The server appears with 2 preconfigured tool(s): create_pre_recorded_transcription, get_pre_recorded_transcription. The Connect section offers the MCP swagger documentation — a shareable page with setup instructions for any AI client.
Good to know
- Create asynchronous speech-to-text jobs from accessible audio URLs and retrieve transcription results, metadata, diarization, subtitles, translations, and optional audio-intelligence outputs through Gladia V2.
- This integration requires a credential (api-key). Get one at https://app.gladia.io/signup.
- Official API documentation: https://docs.gladia.io/api-reference
- Editing a tool later never changes the template — templates are starting points, and the server is fully yours after creation.
