AI Secretary

Your AI secretary for admin authentication, operations & management

⚡

Two steps is all you need. Add the MCP config, then tell your AI what to build. Transcodes becomes your secretary — managing roles, members, audit logs, and settings through AI Agents (Cursor, Claude Desktop, OpenAI Codex).

Package: @bigstrider/transcodes-mcp-server · You need: API key (tc_live_...) and Project ID from Console  · Node.js required for npx

Step 1 — Add MCP Server Config

Open Cursor Settings

  • macOS: ⇧⌘J or menu bar → Cursor → Cursor Settings
  • Windows/Linux: Ctrl+Shift+J or File → Preferences → Cursor Settings

Open Cursor Settings

Go to Tools & MCP → New MCP Server

In the left sidebar, click Tools & MCP. Then click New MCP Server to add a new server.

Cursor Tools & MCP

Configure mcp.json

This opens the mcp.json file:

  • macOS/Linux: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json

Add the transcodes block as shown below. If the file already has other servers, merge — don’t overwrite.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "transcodes": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@bigstrider/transcodes-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TRANSCODES_API_KEY": "tc_live_...",
        "TRANSCODES_PROJECT_ID": "your_project_id"
      }
    }
  }
}

mcp.json in editor

Save the file, then completely quit Cursor and relaunch it. A simple reload may not pick up MCP changes. After restarting, go back to Tools & MCP and confirm transcodes-mcp appears with tools enabled.

Step 2 — Type Your Prompt

Once the MCP server is connected, just tell your AI what you need:

Implement login with magic link, passkey, and TOTP,
add step-up authentication for sensitive actions,
track and store user activity logs with details like
timestamp, IP, and user agent, and include a personal
console where users can manage their authentication
methods and review their activity history

Your AI secretary reads your project’s roles, resources, and settings through MCP — then generates the right code automatically. No Console visits. No manual config.

You can also delegate management tasks: “What roles exist in my project?”, “Show recent audit logs”, “Create a new member” — your secretary handles it through MCP so you never have to open the Console.
