Setup
Setup guide
- 11. Open your Switchy workspace settings and navigate to the MCP Integrations panel. 2. Click 'Add Integration' and select CAMB.AI from the catalog. 3. Log into your CAMB.AI account (or sign up at camb.ai) and generate an API key from the developer dashboard. 4. Paste the key into Switchy's configuration modal and click 'Connect'. 5. Switchy will verify the key by listing supported languages; if successful, the integration badge turns green. 6. Open any Project, start a new message, and type '@CAMB.AI transcribe this podcast: [paste URL]' to test the connection. 7. The MCP will poll CAMB.AI until transcription completes, then return a JSON transcript with speaker labels and timestamps. 8. For dubbing or subtitle workflows, include target languages in your prompt (e.g. '@CAMB.AI dub into Spanish and French') and the MCP will handle the rest.
What teammates see: by default, memories from CAMB.AI are scoped to the Project (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

Example outputs
Illustrative - representative of the model's voice and quality, not literal recordings.
@CAMB.AI transcribe this podcast episode https://example.com/ep42.mp3 and identify each speaker with timestamps
Transcription complete. The 47-minute episode contains three speakers. Speaker 1 (0:00–12:34, 28:10–35:22) discusses product roadmap changes. Speaker 2 (12:35–28:09) covers Q3 revenue trends. Speaker 3 (35:23–47:00) answers audience questions. Full structured transcript includes 1,247 timestamped segments with speaker labels and confidence scores. This example illustrates the format returned after CAMB.AI finishes processing; actual segment count and speaker distribution depend on your media.
Transcription jobs can take several minutes for long files. The MCP waits for completion by default, so your Project may appear unresponsive during processing. If the workflow times out, use 'Get Task Status' with the returned task ID to retrieve results later. Requires a valid CAMB.AI API key with transcription quota.
@CAMB.AI dub this training video https://example.com/onboarding.mp4 into Spanish and French, preserve the original speaker's tone
Dubbing initiated for two target languages. CAMB.AI matched the original speaker's cadence and generated Spanish (es-ES) and French (fr-FR) audio tracks. Output includes two video files with replaced audio, two standalone audio files, and translated transcripts with timing alignment. Processing took approximately 8 minutes for the 12-minute source video. This example shows the multi-language output structure; actual processing time scales with video length and language count.
Dubbing consumes significant API quota and may take 10+ minutes for videos over 20 minutes. The MCP blocks until all languages finish, which can exceed typical workflow timeouts. Side-effect: CAMB.AI stores the dubbed media in your account until you delete it. Voice selection defaults to CAMB.AI's auto-match; specify a voice ID from 'List Voices' for manual control.
@CAMB.AI generate Japanese and Korean subtitles for https://example.com/demo.mp4 then summarize the key points mentioned in each language's transcript
Subtitles generated for Japanese (ja-JP) and Korean (ko-KR). Japanese transcript highlights three product features: real-time collaboration (00:32–01:45), version control (02:10–03:22), and API integrations (04:00–05:18). Korean transcript emphasizes the same features with culturally adapted phrasing. Both subtitle files use WebVTT format with 2-second display windows. The AI synthesis reveals that the Korean version uses more formal honorifics when describing enterprise features, while the Japanese version adopts a conversational tone throughout.
This example pairs CAMB.AI's subtitle generation with the AI's cross-language analysis, showcasing how translation nuances surface in side-by-side comparison. Subtitle jobs are faster than dubbing (typically 2–4 minutes) but still require waiting. The 'Get Run Result' tool lets you retrieve structured cues after the fact if the initial request times out.
Use-case deep-dives
When CAMB.AI beats manual translation for video rollouts
A 6-person SaaS team shipping to France and Germany needs their 90-second product demo dubbed in two languages by Friday. CAMB.AI wins here because the Dub Media tool handles video, audio, and transcript in one call—no handoff to a translation agency, no waiting three weeks. The team uploads the English video URL, specifies French and German targets, and gets back synced audio plus subtitle files ready for YouTube. The trade-off: if your demo has heavy industry jargon or brand-specific terms, you'll need to QA the output transcript and possibly re-record a few lines. For standard product messaging at small-team speed, this MCP closes the localization gap in hours, not sprints.
Why CAMB.AI's transcription fits async support workflows
A 3-person support team handling Loom or voice-note tickets from customers needs written records without hiring a transcriptionist. The Transcribe Media tool takes the uploaded file or URL, waits for CAMB.AI to finish, and returns speaker-tagged timestamps—so the team can scan who said what and when. This works when ticket volume is under 50 per week; above that, the per-call wait time (typically 30-90 seconds per minute of audio) starts to bottleneck triage. The real win is accuracy on accented English or multilingual customers, where CAMB.AI's language detection avoids the garbage transcripts you get from free tools. If your support queue is mostly text already, skip this MCP. If it's voice-heavy and you're still listening to every clip, CAMB.AI turns audio into searchable, quotable support history.
When Generate Subtitles closes the compliance gap fast
A 5-person training team runs monthly webinars and needs captions for ADA compliance, but their video editor is booked two weeks out. The Generate Subtitles tool takes the recorded webinar URL, outputs time-synced cues in SRT or VTT format, and handles multiple languages if the audience is global. The scenario breaks down if the webinar has overlapping speakers or heavy crosstalk—CAMB.AI's subtitle timing can drift when two people talk at once. For single-presenter or panel formats with clear audio, this MCP delivers compliant captions in under an hour, no editor required. The buying call: if you're manually typing captions or paying per-minute rates to a captioning service, CAMB.AI's flat API cost and 8-tool scope make it the faster, cheaper path to accessible content.
Frequently asked
What does the CAMB.AI MCP do in Switchy?
It connects Switchy to CAMB.AI's translation, transcription, and dubbing engine. Your team can translate text, transcribe audio or video files, generate subtitles in multiple languages, or dub media into target languages—all from a shared workspace. The MCP waits for CAMB.AI to finish processing, then returns structured transcripts, subtitle cues, or dubbed output files you can use in downstream workflows.
Do I need a CAMB.AI account to use this MCP?
Yes. You need an active CAMB.AI account and an API key. Paste the key into Switchy's connection form; no OAuth dance or admin approval required. Your CAMB.AI usage limits and billing apply as normal—Switchy just routes requests through your key. If your key expires or hits quota, the MCP will surface the error in the workspace.
Can the MCP dub a video into multiple languages at once?
Yes. The Dub Media tool accepts a list of target languages and returns separate output files for each. CAMB.AI processes them in parallel on their side; the MCP waits until all languages finish, then delivers the dubbed videos, audio tracks, and transcripts in one response. You pick the voices and languages upfront using the List Voices and List Supported Languages tools.
How is this different from uploading files to CAMB.AI's web dashboard?
The MCP lets you chain dubbing, transcription, and translation into multi-step automations inside Switchy—no manual file downloads or re-uploads. You can also programmatically list voices, check task status mid-run, and recover results by run ID if a workflow times out. The dashboard is faster for one-off jobs; the MCP is faster when you're processing dozens of files or integrating with other tools in the workspace.
Who on the team should connect the CAMB.AI MCP?
Whoever owns your CAMB.AI subscription and has the API key. That person connects it once; everyone in the Switchy workspace can then use the dubbing and transcription tools without needing their own CAMB.AI login. Usage counts against the connected account's quota, so coordinate with your billing owner if you're running large batches.
