Robert walks through Superwhisper's CLI and local MCP server, with examples of searching dictation history and reusing transcripts. Installation starts with a command linked in the video description, followed by a version check in the terminal. The supplied description says transcription history stays on the device and the CLI works against that local data.

For the MCP setup, Robert uses Codex with Superwhisper's agent integration. He asks it to configure the server, then searches for a past transcription using a description rather than exact keywords. He also requests a summary in Bear. The walkthrough shows how an AI agent can work with dictation history, though Robert notes that setup may differ between AI tools.

Another example extracts unusual names and terms from a Markdown document into Superwhisper's vocabulary and adds a spoken shortcut that expands into a URL. Robert says these changes require an app restart, which Codex handles in his demonstration.

The terminal section covers Boolean search operators, date filters, recent dictations and reading entries by ID. Robert also demonstrates retrieving the original text of a dictation translated into Japanese. For exports, he asks Codex for a reusable command that saves the last seven days of meeting-mode transcripts as Markdown. Scheduling that command in an automation app is a suggested next step.
