Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant fetch YouTube video transcripts in text, JSON, SRT, or VTT across 150+ languages.

What it does
TranscriptYT is a remote MCP server that retrieves transcripts for YouTube videos. According to its registry description, it returns transcripts as plain text, JSON, SRT, or VTT and supports more than 150 languages, with an AI fallback when a standard transcript is unavailable. No individual tool names are listed in the manifest.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs the spoken content of a YouTube video — for summarizing, quoting, translating, or building subtitles — without downloading or processing the video itself. It fits research, content, and accessibility workflows that depend on video transcripts.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at transcript-yt.com; no local runtime or package is needed. It requires an API key sent as an Authorization bearer token header; the provider says a free key can be obtained from its dashboard. Network access to the endpoint is required.
Before you install
The Authorization header carries a secret API key, so treat it as a credential and avoid exposing it in logs or shared configuration. Transcript requests are sent to a third-party service, which means the videos you query are visible to that provider. The manifest declares no authentication beyond the API key and no other credentials.
