Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server that fetches YouTube video transcripts and transcribes TikTok videos to text from a link, with no sign-up.

What you can do
Retrieve the transcript of a YouTube video from its link, returning YouTube's captions as plain text along with the title, channel and available caption languages. Transcribe the speech in a TikTok video from its link, with the spoken language detected automatically. Fetch the result of a TikTok transcription that did not finish in time by passing the job_id returned by the earlier call.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to pull the spoken or captioned text of a YouTube or TikTok video into a summary, notes, translation or analysis without downloading the video yourself.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at transcribetext.com over streamable HTTP; no sign-up, API key, environment variables or headers are declared. Network access is needed, and TikTok transcription usually takes 20 to 60 seconds.
Before you install
Free use of TikTok transcription is limited per day and per video length. YouTube transcripts are unavailable for videos without captions or for private videos. Video links are sent to a third-party service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open TranscribeText in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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.transcribetext%2Ftranscribe/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
