Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account edtool79-collab for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Apify-hosted MCP server that lets an assistant fetch YouTube video and Shorts transcripts in bulk, with timestamps.

What you can do: Retrieve transcripts of YouTube videos and Shorts, including bulk runs.
Return transcript text with timestamps for each video.
No individual tools are documented in the listing, so exact operations are not specified.
When to use it: Useful when you need the spoken content of YouTube videos or Shorts as text, for example to summarize, search, or analyze many videos at once.
Requirements: A remote MCP endpoint at mcp.apify.com, reached over streamable HTTP. Authentication is required via OAuth, with an Apify API token sent in the Authorization header as a Bearer token; a free Apify account is enough to connect.

Before you install

The server requires an Apify API token as a credential in the Authorization header, so treat it as a secret. Transcript collection runs on Apify, which means video identifiers and requests are processed by that third party, and usage may be subject to Apify account limits or billing.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open YouTube Transcript Scraper in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
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/io.github.edtool79-collab%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.

Tools

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.
