Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets an assistant search YouTube and retrieve details for videos, channels, playlists and captions.

What you can do
Search YouTube for videos and channels with a search tool and fetch a single video's details by identifier or query result. Retrieve channel information and list a channel's playlists. List the items inside a playlist. Fetch captions for a video.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to look up YouTube content, summarize or reference a video, inspect a channel's playlists, or pull captions for reading and analysis without leaving the chat.
Requirements
Runs as a local process via npx, so Node.js and network access are needed. No authentication, environment variables or headers are declared. The README's install snippet fetches a package archive from a GitHub release URL rather than the npm registry.
Before you install
The README's install command downloads and runs a tarball from a GitHub release URL, not the published npm package, so verify the source before installing. The README also promotes a larger paid-sounding bundle of 180+ tools and persistent memory; that is marketing, not part of this connector. Requests go to YouTube, so queries and video identifiers leave your machine.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open YouTube MCP by UnClick in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Score

50% of the applicable checks met

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.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.

  • Tools listed15 pts

    Answer tools/list without a credential, or ship a package that starts in a sandbox without one.
