Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
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/io.github.TubeToTranscript%2Ftubetotranscript/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.Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

tubetotranscript-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server
that lets AI assistants read YouTube videos. Ask Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client to summarize a
video, find a quote, or turn a lecture into notes, and it fetches the video's captions itself, with
timestamps, title, channel, and language.
Point your MCP client at the package with npx. Nothing to install globally.
Add to claude_desktop_config.json
