Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant pull bulk YouTube transcripts and subtitles from videos, channels, playlists, or search results in text, RAG chunk, SRT, or VTT form.

What it does
This remote MCP server exposes YouTube transcript and subtitle extraction. According to its description, it can collect transcripts in bulk from individual videos, whole channels, playlists, or search results, and return them as plain text, RAG-ready chunks, SRT, or VTT. It is hosted at a remote endpoint, so the assistant connects to it rather than running anything locally.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to gather spoken content from YouTube at scale, for example to build a retrieval corpus, summarize many videos, or produce subtitle files. It fits workflows that need transcripts from more than one video at a time.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at mcp.apify.com over streamable HTTP; no local package, runtime, or declared environment variables. The manifest declares no authentication, though the underlying Apify service may require its own account or credentials.
Before you install
The manifest declares no authentication and no headers, so verify what credentials the hosted endpoint actually expects before connecting. Transcripts are fetched from YouTube through a third-party service, so the video identifiers and queries you submit leave your machine. Respect YouTube terms and copyright when storing or republishing subtitles.
