# Plug podcast operator quotes into Claude or ChatGPT with MCP Verbatim MCP, from Verbatim by The Art of Service, connects Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP clients that accept a remote server URL and header to quotes from 900+ business and technology podcasts, each one linked to the second it was said. It is included in Verbatim Team at USD 299 a month for 5 seats, alongside the REST API and search of the full archive. A single-seat Pro + MCP option does not exist yet: there is a waitlist at the foot of this page. Page: https://verbatim.theartofservice.com/mcp ## Why wire the library into your own AI - Your AI answers from the same internet as everyone else - You have 30 connectors and none of them hear the market - You cannot cite where your AI's claim came from - A quote with a listen link settles the argument faster than a summary ## The Socket Map It shows where Verbatim plugs into the AI you already use, so every answer can carry a quote and the second it was said. - **Your AI**: Claude, ChatGPT or any client that takes a remote MCP server - **MCP socket**: one endpoint, one bearer key, four tools - **Verbatim moments**: attributed quotes from 900+ podcasts, updated every day - **Listen second**: every result carries the link that plays from that second ## How do I connect Verbatim to Claude or ChatGPT? 1. In Verbatim Team, the Team owner opens /account and creates an API key under "API key". Keys start with `vb_`. 2. In your MCP client, add a remote server with the Streamable HTTP endpoint and the key as a bearer header: ```text Endpoint: https://verbatim.theartofservice.com/mcp Header: Authorization: Bearer vb_... ``` 3. The server exposes four tools: ```text search_quotes (query, days, limit) topic_brief (topic slug, for example "pricing" or "ai-agents") list_topics () search_moments (query, days 1 to 120, k 1 to 50, verified_only) ``` 4. Ask your AI a question in plain words, for example "what have operators said about usage-based pricing in the last 60 days?". The client calls `search_quotes` or `search_moments` and the answer comes back with the quote, who said it, the show, the date and the listen link. Works with MCP clients such as Claude and ChatGPT that accept a remote server URL and header. ## What does the REST API return? The same key works against the REST endpoint, for scripts, spreadsheets or any tool that is not an MCP client. ```text GET https://verbatim.theartofservice.com/api/v1/search?q=&days=<1 to 3650>&limit=<1 to 100> Authorization: Bearer vb_... ``` `days` defaults to 30 and `limit` to 20. Example: ```bash curl -s "https://verbatim.theartofservice.com/api/v1/search?q=churn&days=60&limit=5" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer vb_..." ``` Each result carries `quote`, `speaker`, `show`, `episode`, `date`, `at` (the second), `numbers` (any figures the speaker said), `category`, `voice` and `listen`, the link that plays the quote from that second. Quotes are short; the full episode belongs to its publisher. ## Which plan includes MCP? Verbatim Team, USD 299 a month, includes the REST API and MCP, 5 seats, shared watchlists of up to 100 terms, search of the full archive, and everything in Pro.

Verbatim MCP is a remote server, using the Model Context Protocol over Streamable HTTP, that lets your own AI search the Verbatim library of attributed quotes from 900+ business and technology podcasts. It exposes four tools: search_quotes, topic_brief, list_topics and search_moments. Every result links to the second the quote was said. ### Which clients work? Any MCP client that accepts a remote server URL and an Authorization header works with Verbatim MCP, including Claude and ChatGPT. Add https://verbatim.theartofservice.com/mcp as the server and your vb_ key as a bearer token. Tools that are not MCP clients can use the Verbatim REST API with the same key instead. ### Is it in Pro? No. Verbatim Pro at USD 29 a month covers topics, a watchlist, alerts, 30-day search and CSV export, but not MCP or the REST API. MCP is included in Verbatim Team at USD 299 a month for 5 seats. A single-seat Pro + MCP option does not exist yet; this page has a waitlist for it. ### What does a response contain? A Verbatim MCP or REST response returns, for each moment, the quote, the speaker, the show, the episode, the date, the second it was said, any numbers the speaker gave, the category, the voice, and a listen link that plays from that second. Quotes are short; the full episode stays with its publisher. ### What does it cost? Verbatim MCP comes with Verbatim Team at USD 299 a month, or USD 3,588 a year billed once, for 5 seats with the REST API, shared watchlists and full-archive search. There is no separate MCP fee. The single-seat Pro + MCP option is waitlist only and its price has not been set. - Get MCP with Team: https://verbatim.theartofservice.com/checkout/team?src=mcp - Join the Pro + MCP waitlist: https://verbatim.theartofservice.com/mcp#register Updated 2026-10-29.
