AGENTS.md

whisper-transcribe-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from ZahiriNatZuke/whisper-transcribe-mcp. It costs 699 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for developing and releasing a Python server that provides audio transcription through local or cloud Whisper services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to set up development, run formatting and tests, start the transcription server, build the package, and publish releases.
Why use it?
They give contributors the project context, required checks, local startup commands, and release process in one place.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is ZahiriNatZuke/whisper-transcribe-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on whisper-transcribe-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

whisper-transcribe-mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Project Overview

whisper-transcribe-mcp is a Python MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes audio transcription tools using either faster-whisper (local, offline) or the OpenAI Whisper API (cloud). Published on PyPI and consumed via uvx or pip.

Development Setup

# Install the locked development environment with all optional backends
uv sync --group dev --extra all

# Run the same checks as CI
uv run ruff check .
uv run ruff format --check .
uv run pytest -q

Running the Server Locally

# Local backend
WHISPER_MODEL=base python -m whisper_transcribe.server

# OpenAI backend
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... python -m whisper_transcribe.server

Building and Publishing

# Build the package
uv build

# Release a new version from a clean main branch. This synchronizes pyproject.toml,
# uv.lock, and server.json, waits for CI, tags the release, and creates the GitHub release.
./release.sh 1.2.3

Pushing the version tag triggers .github/workflows/publish.yml, which publishes first to PyPI and then to the official MCP Registry using OIDC. See docs/publishing.md for the full checklist.

Architecture

The entire server lives in a single file: whisper_transcribe/server.py.

  • Built on FastMCP (fastmcp>=3.0), which handles MCP protocol, tool registration, and stdio transport.
  • Backend selection is determined at startup by the presence of OPENAI_API_KEY — there is no runtime switching.
  • The local WhisperModel is lazily loaded and cached in _local_model (module-level global), and reloaded only if the requested model_size changes.
  • transcribe_base64 delegates to transcribe_file after writing a temp file, then cleans it up.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
