How to Set up the Trint MCP Connector

Find out how to set up the Trint MCP Connector. Follow our step-by-step guide to connecting your AI agent to Trint.

Most AI tools will give you a summary, pull some quotes, and move on. What they won't tell you is whether the quote is accurate, who actually said it, or where in the recording it came from.

The Trint MCP Connector lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT access your Trint account securely and safely.

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is an open standard that lets AI agents and assistants access external tools and data sources. The Trint MCP Connector uses this open standard, so that journalists, researchers, and media teams already working with Claude or another AI assistant, can bring Trint’s capabilities directly into their workflows, without switching context.

The AI tool does the work. Trint makes it accurate enough to trust.
