Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server that downloads videos from social platforms, extracts audio, transcripts and thumbnails, and stores them in your own S3-compatible bucket.

What you can do
Download videos from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and other sites to cloud storage, with a quality preference and a returned public URL, filename, size and metadata. Extract audio as MP3 and store it in the bucket. Extract subtitles or transcripts in a chosen language and save them as clean text. Extract video thumbnails and store them. Retrieve video metadata such as title, uploader, duration, views and description without downloading.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to pull media from social platforms into your own cloud storage and hand back shareable links, or to get transcripts, audio or metadata from a video without a local download toolchain.
Requirements
Remote endpoint at server.smithery.ai over streamable HTTP, with a bearer token in the Authorization header for Smithery authentication. S3-compatible storage configured with s3Endpoint, s3Region, s3AccessKeyId, s3SecretAccessKey and s3BucketName, plus an optional public URL base. Local development needs Node.js 20+, yt-dlp and the S3 environment variables.
Before you install
Requires S3 access key credentials, which grant write access to the configured bucket; scope them narrowly. Downloaded files are uploaded to that bucket and exposed through public URLs, so anything fetched becomes publicly reachable. Hosting and storage may incur costs. Downloading from social platforms may conflict with their terms of service or copyright. The server relies on yt-dlp and third-party sites, so availability can change.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Ctaylor86 Mcp Video Download Server in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect Authorization token credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/ai.smithery%2Fctaylor86-mcp-video-download-server/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
