## Introduction

OpenClaw is the fastest growing agent harness out there, which can work 24/7 to automate almost any kind of tasks. However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access Happy scribe with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Happy scribe via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer.

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio?
Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get:
- Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
- Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot.
- Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

## What is the Happy scribe MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Happy Scribe MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Happy Scribe account. It provides structured and secure access to your transcription and subtitle services, so your agent can perform actions like starting new transcriptions, generating subtitles, exporting files, and managing your transcription jobs on your behalf.
- Automated transcription creation: Instantly start new transcription jobs from audio or video files using a simple agent command.
- Subtitle generation for videos: Have your agent generate accurate subtitles for your video content for accessibility and localization.
- Export and download transcripts or subtitles: Let your agent export completed transcriptions or subtitles in various formats for easy distribution.
- Account and usage monitoring: Retrieve account details, subscription status, and API usage statistics to keep tabs on your service limits.
- Transcription management and cleanup: Direct your agent to delete completed or unwanted transcription jobs, keeping your workspace organized.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_CREATE_SUBTITLE` | Create Subtitle | Create subtitles for a video file using Happy Scribe's automatic transcription service. Submits a video URL to be processed for subtitle generation. The video must be publicly accessible during ingestion. Returns a subtitle job with an editor URL for reviewing and editing the generated subtitles. Processing states progress from 'initial' -> 'ingesting' -> 'automatic_done' (or 'failed'). Use the GET transcription endpoint to check processing status. |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_CREATE_TRANSLATION_TASK` | Create Translation Task | Creates an AI-powered translation task to translate an existing transcription into another language. Use this after a transcription is complete (state='automatic_done') to translate it. The task runs asynchronously - use Retrieve Translation Task to check progress and get results. Note: Not all language pairs are supported (e.g., German to English may fail). |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_DELETE_TRANSCRIPTION` | Delete Transcription | Tool to delete a transcription job. Use when you have a transcription ID and want to remove it, optionally permanently. Use after confirming the transcription ID. |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_DELETE_WEBHOOK` | Delete Webhook | Deletes a webhook by its ID. This action is idempotent: if the webhook does not exist or was already deleted, it returns success. Use Get Webhooks to retrieve available webhook IDs. |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_GET_ACCOUNT_DETAILS` | Get Account Details | Tool to retrieve details about your account, including subscription status and usage statistics. Use after authenticating your API key to monitor plan and usage. |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_GET_LANGUAGE_LIST` | Get Supported Languages | Retrieve the list of supported language codes for Happy Scribe transcription services. Returns BCP-47 language codes and indicates which languages have human transcription service available. This is a static reference based on Happy Scribe's official documentation, as there is no dedicated languages API endpoint. |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_GET_RATE_LIMIT` | Get API Rate Limit | Get Happy Scribe API rate limit information. Returns the documented rate limit for the Happy Scribe API: - Default limit: 200 requests per hour - Applies only to the transcription creation endpoint - When rate limited, API returns HTTP 429 with 'retry_in_seconds' in the body Note: Happy Scribe does not expose rate limit headers, so this tool provides documented defaults. If you encounter a 429 response during transcription creation, wait for the 'retry_in_seconds' value before retrying. For higher limits, contact sales@happyscribe.co with subject "Happy Scribe for Business". |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_GET_SIGNED_UPLOAD_URL` | Get Signed Upload URL | Tool to get a signed URL for uploading a file to Happy Scribe's S3 storage. Use before creating a transcription or order to obtain a secure upload URL for your media file. |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_HS_CONFIRM_ORDER` | Confirm Order | Tool to confirm a pending order. Use after creating an order with confirm=false when you're ready to submit it for processing. |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_HS_CREATE_TRANSLATION_ORDER` | Create Translation Order | Tool to create a translation order from an existing transcription. Use when you have a completed transcription and want translations into one or more languages. By default, the order remains incomplete unless confirm=true. |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_HS_EXPORT_TRANSCRIPTION` | Export Transcription | Creates an export job to download transcription content in various formats. Use this action after a transcription job completes (state='automatic_done'). First obtain transcription IDs using the List Transcriptions action. The export job runs asynchronously - poll the Retrieve Export action with the returned export ID to check when the download URL becomes available (state='ready'). Supported formats: - Documents: txt, docx, pdf (support timestamps, speakers, comments, highlights) - Subtitles: srt, vtt, stl (standard caption formats) - Video editing: avid, premiere, fcp (professional editing software) - Other: html, json, maxqda |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_HS_GET_API_VERSION` | Get API Version | Tool to retrieve current API version and check for updates. If Happy Scribe does not expose a dedicated /version endpoint, this tool attempts to infer the version from HTTP response headers or from the base_url path (e.g., /api/v1). |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_HS_GET_ERROR_CODES` | Get Error Codes | Returns a list of HTTP error codes used by the Happy Scribe API along with their descriptions. Use this tool to understand what different error responses mean when calling other Happy Scribe API endpoints. This returns static reference data matching the official Happy Scribe API documentation. |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_HS_GET_SUPPORTED_FORMATS` | Get Supported Formats | Tool to retrieve supported file formats. Use when you need to know available input and output formats before creating a transcription or subtitle. If a dedicated '/formats' endpoint is unavailable, this action probes known endpoints to verify connectivity and returns a curated list based on official documentation. |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_HS_GET_TRANSCRIPTION` | Get Transcription Details | Tool to retrieve details and status of a specific transcription job. Use after creating or listing transcription jobs to inspect a particular job's metadata. |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_HS_GET_WEBHOOKS` | Get Webhooks | Tool to retrieve webhooks configured for your account. Note: Happy Scribe's public API does not have a dedicated webhooks listing endpoint. Webhooks are specified via webhook_url when creating orders. This action attempts common endpoints and returns an empty list if unavailable. |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_HS_RETRIEVE_EXPORT` | Retrieve Export | Tool to retrieve information about a specific export. Use when you need to check export status and get download link. |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_LIST_TRANSCRIPTIONS` | List Transcriptions | Retrieves a paginated list of transcription jobs for a Happy Scribe organization. Returns transcription metadata including ID, name, processing state, language, and duration. Supports filtering by folder and tags, with pagination for large result sets. Note: This returns metadata only; use the Export Transcription action to get actual transcript content. |
| `HAPPY_SCRIBE_RETRIEVE_ORDER` | Retrieve Order | Retrieve details of a Happy Scribe order by its ID. Returns order state, pricing, operations, and inputs. Use this to check order status, verify pricing details, or get information about translation/transcription operations. The order ID is obtained from create order responses (e.g., Create Translation Order). |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Happy scribe MCP?

With a standalone Happy scribe MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Happy scribe tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Happy scribe and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with OpenClaw?

Yes, you can. OpenClaw fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Happy scribe tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Happy scribe while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Happy scribe scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Happy scribe data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
