Overview

AI-generated overview

Apify-hosted remote MCP server that lets an assistant pull timestamped YouTube transcripts from videos, Shorts, channels, playlists and searches.

What you can do
  • Retrieve transcripts with timestamps from individual YouTube videos and Shorts.
  • Collect transcripts across a channel, a playlist, or the results of a YouTube search.
  • No tool list is published, so the exact operations are only described at the level of these content sources.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to read or summarize spoken YouTube content, or to gather transcripts in bulk from a channel, playlist or search query without running your own scraper.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at mcp.apify.com over streamable HTTP. Authentication is required: an Apify API token sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header, or an empty header to sign in to Apify with OAuth. An Apify account and network access are needed.
Before you install
The Authorization header carries an Apify API token, so treat it as a secret and prefer OAuth sign-in where possible. Apify usage may be billed against your account depending on your plan. Transcripts are fetched from YouTube on your behalf, so the videos or channels you request are visible to Apify and YouTube.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open YouTube Transcript Scraper in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required 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/com.quarralabs%2Fyoutube-transcript-scraper/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

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

This server asks you to sign in, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without an account and has not indexed them. What a connected account sees can depend on that account and its permissions.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
