# How to share a Descript video and see who watched it

> Descript edits recordings by text, now from a chat. When it publishes, it returns the video file's address, and ArtifactSend turns that into a private link with a watch report.

## The short answer

Connect Descript and ArtifactSend to the same AI app. Ask Descript to edit and publish the video, then ask to send it with ArtifactSend. Descript's help center says publishing returns signed addresses for the MP4, and ArtifactSend takes that address as video_url.

## What you need

- Descript's connector. The server address is https://api.descript.com/v2/mcp, signed in with OAuth and no API token. Descript's help center lists official connectors for Claude and ChatGPT, and notes that imports and edits through MCP use your media minutes and AI credits.
- In Claude, Descript's help center asks you to turn on network egress and code execution under Settings, Capabilities, before connecting.
- The ArtifactSend connector at https://artifactsend.com/mcp. It is free.

## Steps

1. Add both connectors and sign in to each one.
2. Ask Descript to edit, for example "remove filler words and long pauses from my demo recording, add captions, and publish it".
3. Ask "send the published video with ArtifactSend, only people at acme.com". The AI passes the MP4 address to send_artifact.
4. Ask later "who watched the demo, and which part did they watch twice?"

## Good to know

- Descript's help center says a finished file cannot be downloaded through MCP without publishing, so publish first.
- The signed address can expire. Ask for the share soon after publishing, or publish again for a fresh address.

## What you see after they watch

- Each viewer by email, with every visit.
- How much of the video each one watched, such as 2:14 of 3:05 (72%).
- The parts each viewer skipped and the parts they watched again.
- For everyone, how many viewers watched each part of the video, and where most of them stopped.
- An email when someone opens it for the first time, if you want one.

## Limits

Videos can be mp4, webm or mov, up to 200 MB each. Each space keeps up to 2 GB of video. Links, viewers and reports are free and unlimited.

## Questions

**Does ArtifactSend work with Descript's MCP?**

Yes. Descript publishes the video and returns its file address, and ArtifactSend shares it as a tracked link.

**Is this an official Descript integration?**

No. These are two independent connectors that work side by side.
