Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote Apify-hosted MCP server that lets an assistant fetch YouTube video transcripts, captions, timestamps, metadata and SRT/VTT subtitles in batches.

What you can do
  • Retrieve transcripts and captions for YouTube videos, including timestamps and video metadata.
  • Produce subtitle output in SRT and VTT formats.
  • Process several videos in one batch rather than one at a time.
  • No individual tools are listed in the manifest, so exact operations are only known from the description.
When to use it
Useful when you need the spoken content of YouTube videos as text for summarizing, quoting, captioning or building subtitle files, especially across multiple videos at once.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at mcp.apify.com; no local package or runtime is needed. OAuth authentication is required, which implies an Apify account and likely Apify platform usage or credits.
Before you install
Access is tied to an Apify account through OAuth, and Apify usage may consume paid credits or plan quota. Transcripts are fetched from third-party YouTube content, so video URLs you submit are sent to Apify and onward to YouTube; check that you have the right to reuse the captions.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Wicked YouTube Transcript API — Captions, Timestamps, SRT & VTT 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/io.github.myworkingmemory%2Fwicked-youtube-transcript-scraper-api/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.
