MCP Quick Start

Barevalue's MCP server lets AI assistants edit your podcast. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any tool that supports the Model Context Protocol.

1. Get an API Key

1. Create a free account or log in
2. Go to Settings → API Keys
3. Click Generate Key and copy it (starts with bv_sk_)

2. Add to Your Settings

Add this to your MCP configuration. For Claude Code, edit ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "barevalue": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "barevalue-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BAREVALUE_API_KEY": "bv_sk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using Cursor or Windsurf? Same JSON — add it to your editor's MCP settings file.

3. Start Editing

Once configured, just ask your AI assistant in natural language:

"Upload my podcast at ~/recordings/ep42.mp3 and submit it to Barevalue for editing"

"Check the status of my latest Barevalue order"

"How many AI editing minutes do I have left on Barevalue?"

That's it. The MCP server handles uploads, submissions, status checks, and downloads automatically.

What You Get Back

Every order returns:

• Edited audio — filler words, long pauses, and false starts removed
• Full transcript (PDF)
• Show notes with timestamps
• Social media clips — AI-selected highlights for promotion

Pricing

MCP orders use your subscription minutes — the same balance you'd use on barevalue.com. The Basic plan is free and includes minutes and orders each month. Paid plans (Starter, Creator, Pro) include more minutes, more orders, and additional features.

Use barevalue_estimate to check if you have enough minutes before submitting.
