## Summary

Descript demonstrated its Model Context Protocol (MCP) connection by running live builds with Claude, ChatGPT and Codex during a public session on September 24. Three Descript team members started from an empty project, installed the server, supplied a raw media clip and performed an editing task within 12 minutes. The demo highlighted common first‑use issues and troubleshooting steps, showing how the MCP allows AI assistants to import media, remove filler words, create scenes and highlights, apply Studio Sound and add captions.

The session, recorded and available online, aimed to make the first‑time setup experience transparent and to show where users are most likely to encounter problems and how to resolve them. Amelia Glynn, Head of Affiliate and Creator at Descript, said the goal was to illustrate the process when nothing is prepared in advance.
