A Model-Context Protocol Server for YouTube

What it solves

It allows AI assistants like Claude to access and analyze the text content of YouTube videos by retrieving their subtitles.

How it works

The project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that uses the yt-dlp tool to download subtitles from a provided YouTube URL, feeding that text directly into the AI's context window.

Who it’s for

Users of Claude.ai who want to summarize or query specific YouTube videos without manually copying and pasting transcripts.

Highlights

  • Uses the Model Context Protocol for seamless integration with AI assistants.
  • Leverages yt-dlp for reliable subtitle extraction.
  • Simple installation via the mcp-installer tool.
