Arcmira
Connect Arcmira to search YouTube and podcast transcripts for quotes with timestamped links, track mentions and sponsors, and monitor topics.
Nothing is typed into PopMCP. You click Authorize with Arcmira, sign in to Arcmira and approve PopMCP on Arcmira's consent screen. PopMCP is already a registered Arcmira client, so there is no API key, developer app or callback URL to set up. A free Arcmira account works. If you prefer a key, an arc_sk_ key from Dashboard, API keys can be pasted under More options instead.

Before you begin
- An Arcmira account. The Free plan works: it includes 1,000 credits a month and leaves out media from the newest 30 days. Sign up at arcmira.com/sign-up if you have none
- If you belong to an Arcmira team: which account's credits the AI should use (your own or the team's)
- Pop-up blockers must allow the Arcmira sign-in window to open
- Only if the AI should create or change monitors: an owner or admin in PopMCP to allow write actions
Get your credentials
Start the connection from PopMCP
Open the Arcmira connector in PopMCP and click Authorize with Arcmira. There are no fields to fill in: no API key, no developer app and nothing to register. To keep the connection strictly read-only, open More options first and untick Create and change monitors.
Sign in to Arcmira in the pop-up
The sign-in window opens on arcmira.com. Sign in with the Arcmira account the AI should search with. A new Free account works too.
Sign in to Arcmira
Search the spoken web.
PopMCP never sees your Arcmira password. Arcmira hands back a token once you approve.
Approve PopMCP on Arcmira's consent screen
Arcmira shows a consent screen naming PopMCP: read access and, unless you unticked it, monitor changes. If you are in a team, pick under Uses the credits of which account pays for what the AI reads. Click Allow.
Authorize PopMCP
PopMCP is asking to use your Arcmira account.
You can revoke PopMCP later under Dashboard, Integrations in Arcmira.
Or paste an API key instead
Prefer a key? Instead of signing in, open Dashboard → API keys in Arcmira, click Create key and copy it (it is shown once and starts with arc_sk_). In PopMCP open More options, paste it into Arcmira API key and connect. A key never expires and carries every scope.

Check the connection in PopMCP
The Arcmira card in PopMCP reads Connected, with the account name, plan and credits left. Every Arcmira endpoint is a tool, plus arcmira_find_clips, which returns passages with timestamped links and the transcript around each in one call. Monitor changes wait until an owner or admin allows write actions in PopMCP.

Connect in PopMCP
Open your workspace, choose Arcmira in the marketplace, and fill in the connect dialog:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| How you connectpreset | Click Authorize, sign in to Arcmira and approve. There is nothing to copy or paste. A free Arcmira account works (1,000 credits a month). |
| Permissionschecklist | Reading (search, mentions, sponsors, transcripts, your monitors) is always included. Monitor changes are only used once write actions are allowed on the connection. |
| Arcmira API key (instead of signing in)secret | Only if you prefer a key: create one under Dashboard → API keys at arcmira.com and paste it here, and the sign-in step is skipped. Keys never expire.Encrypted with AES-256-GCM on save and never shown again. |
PopMCP verifies the credential against Arcmira immediately. On success the connection flips to Verified and its MCP tools are provisioned.
Permissions to request
PopMCP asks Arcmira for exactly the permissions you tick in the connect form. Unticked permissions leave their tools listed but failing, so keep the defaults unless you have a reason to narrow them.
Arcmira grants exactly what you tick. 0 of 1 are on by default.
Monitors
monitors:write,trackers:writeCreate and change monitorsCreate monitors, follow people, companies and topics, pause or change alerts.
Verify it worked
The Arcmira card in PopMCP shows Connected with the account name, plan and credits. Asking the AI for the connection profile (arcmira_connection_profile) names the account and scopes, and asking it to find quotes on a topic (arcmira_find_clips) returns passages with timestamped links rather than an authorization error.
Troubleshooting
The sign-in window never opens
Why: A pop-up blocker is stopping the Arcmira sign-in window.
Fix: Allow pop-ups for PopMCP in your browser and click Authorize with Arcmira again.
"Your Arcmira sign-in has ended..."
Why: The sign-in was not used for 30 days, or PopMCP was revoked under Dashboard, Integrations in Arcmira.
Fix: Reconnect Arcmira in PopMCP: one click on Authorize with Arcmira and Allow. Or connect with an API key, which never expires.
"Arcmira did not accept that API key"
Why: The key was copied in part, or it was disabled under Dashboard, API keys.
Fix: Create a new key under Dashboard, API keys, copy all of it (it starts with arc_sk_) and paste it again.
A read answers 402 or 403 with a plan or credit message
Why: Arcmira's plan and credit gates: Premium transcripts, sponsor rows, the newest 30 days of media and the before filter need a paid plan, and every plan has a monthly credit allowance.
Fix: The answer names the limit and links the plan that lifts it. arcmira_get_account shows the credits left; Dashboard, Spending in Arcmira sets an on-demand budget.
Creating a monitor answers insufficient_scope
Why: The sign-in was made with Create and change monitors unticked, or the key came from the API sign-up (read only).
Fix: Reconnect Arcmira with Create and change monitors ticked, or use a key from Dashboard, API keys. An owner or admin must also allow write actions in PopMCP.
