# Claude Plugin

> Use AudioPod tools inside Claude Code — transcription, stems, text to speech, music, and voice through skills and slash commands.

<Info>
  **What is the AudioPod plugin?** It brings AudioPod tools into Claude Code. The plugin adds skills and slash commands that call the AudioPod [MCP server](/sdks/mcp) at `https://mcp.audiopod.ai`, so you can transcribe, split stems, or make a voiceover without leaving your session.
</Info>

## Install

In Claude Code, run:

```
/plugin marketplace add AudiopodAI/claude-plugin
/plugin install audiopod@audiopod
```

On install, Claude Code prompts for your AudioPod API key. [Create one in your dashboard](https://audiopod.ai/dashboard/account/api-keys). The key is stored as a sensitive plugin setting. To change it later, run:

```
/plugin configure audiopod@audiopod
```

***

## The two plugins

| Plugin | What it covers | Endpoint |
| - | - | - |
| `audiopod` | Transcription, stem separation, noise removal, speaker separation, media conversion, text to speech, music generation, and voice cloning and changing. | `https://mcp.audiopod.ai` |
| `audiopod-transcribe` | Transcription and audio tools only. | `https://mcp.audiopod.ai/core` |

Install `audiopod-transcribe` the same way with `/plugin install audiopod-transcribe@audiopod`, and change its key with `/plugin configure audiopod-transcribe@audiopod`.

***

## Commands

| Command | Example |
| - | - |
| `/audiopod:transcribe` | `/audiopod:transcribe https://example.com/interview.mp3 srt` |
| `/audiopod:stems` | `/audiopod:stems https://example.com/song.mp3 4stem` |
| `/audiopod:tts` | `/audiopod:tts "Welcome to the show" British English` |
| `/audiopod:status` | `/audiopod:status <job-id> transcribe` |

`/audiopod:tts` is available in the `audiopod` plugin only. You can also ask in plain language, like "remove the background noise from this clip", and the matching skill picks it up.

***

## How jobs work

AudioPod jobs run asynchronously. Claude starts the job, polls its status until it finishes, and hands you the output links. Output links expire after 1 hour. If one has expired, ask again (or run `/audiopod:status <job-id> <tool>`, since job ids are unique per tool) for fresh links.

## Credits

Jobs use your AudioPod account's credits. See [pricing](https://audiopod.ai/pricing) for plans and credit details.

## Privacy

Audio you send is processed on AudioPod's servers under the [AudioPod privacy policy](https://audiopod.ai/privacy).

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Fix |
| - | - |
| `401` "Invalid or expired API key" | Reconfigure your key with `/plugin configure audiopod@audiopod`. |
| `402` | Your account doesn't have enough credits for the job. Top up or upgrade on the [pricing page](https://audiopod.ai/pricing). |
| Tools not showing up | Run `/mcp` to check the connection status of the AudioPod server. |

## Self-hosted MCP alternative

Prefer to wire up MCP yourself, or use a different client? See the [MCP Server](/sdks/mcp) page for the endpoint, auth, and client configs.
