Who it is for
Podcasters and video teams who would rather describe an edit than perform it on a timeline.
Overview
What Descript does
Descript is a video editor operated by instruction rather than by timeline. The request describes the outcome, and the production steps behind it are carried out by the app.
Those steps include transcription, removing filler words, the Studio Sound audio processing, captions, B-roll, and clip extraction. The examples cover cleaning up a recording for clarity, pulling a handful of clips from an episode, and translating and dubbing a video into other languages.
A video can also be made from a prompt with no source footage. Descript publishes the app, and the listing does not describe export settings, project length limits, or which languages dubbing supports.
What stands out
Audio cleanup, captions, and translation can be requested in the same sentence as the edit itself.

Where Descript is listed
Descript ships this on both marketplaces: Descript is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain.
Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process.

Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Descript publishes 5 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 22.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Creative & Design publishes 9, so this one sits 4 tools below its bucket's median, 11th of 17.
It falls in the 4-6 tools band, which holds 16.2% of the Claude directory.
Descript publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

Descript carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.
In the publisher's words
How Descript describes it
Descript is a video editor you can direct through conversation. Describe what you want — clean up a podcast episode, pull highlight clips from an interview or translate a video into Spanish. Descript handles the end-to-end production: transcribing, removing filler words, cleaning up background noise, adding captions, adding visuals and more.
