Use this when the user wants to add a local audio or video recording to BitterClip. Returns a shareable, token-gated upload link (a hosted drop-zone page) the user opens in a browser to drop their file — it uploads straight to storage and starts transcribing on its own. Pass `project` (a project name, slug, or public ID like "Landing 100") to scope the upload to that project, or omit it for the account's default uploads project. Give the returned `upload_url` to the user. Prefer this over asking the user for a public download URL.

The JSON blocks below are the exact MCP descriptor projections served by Rails for the named profiles at capture time. Security schemes and resource URIs may vary by connected host.
