## Description

Fetches the full transcript of a Grain recording. The `json` format returns structured segments with speaker, participant ID, start/end times in milliseconds, and text; `txt`, `vtt`, and `srt` return plain text or subtitle formats. Use **List Recordings** to find recording IDs; use **Get Recording** for the recording's metadata instead of its transcript. Example: `recordingId: "pppp6666-qq77-rr88-ss99-tttt00000000"` with `format: "txt"` returns plain text like `"Speaker 1: Thanks for joining today..."`. [See the documentation](https://developers.grain.com/#get-recording-transcript-json)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `recordingId` | `string` | Yes | The ID of the recording to fetch. Use List Recordings to find recording IDs. |
| `format` | `string` | Yes | Format for the transcript |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "grain",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "grain-get-transcript",
  arguments: {
    recordingId: "Recording ID",
    format: "Format",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "grain-get-transcript",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    grain: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
