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 shephouse-actors 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

Fetches YouTube video transcripts (captions) through an Apify Actor, for one video or up to 50 at a time.

What you can do: Fetch the transcript of a single YouTube video, given a URL or 11-character video id
Prefer specific caption languages with a language preference list
Return timestamped lines when timestamps are requested
Fetch transcripts for up to 50 videos in one batch call
When to use it: Useful when an assistant needs the spoken content of YouTube videos as text, for summarizing, quoting or analyzing one video or a batch of up to 50, including from cloud-hosted agents.
Requirements: Runs as a local Python package over stdio. Requires an Apify account and an Apify API token supplied in the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable; network access to Apify is needed.

Before you install

Each transcript is billed to the Apify account at the stated per-transcript rate, so batch calls of up to 50 videos can add up. The APIFY_TOKEN secret is passed to the server and used for paid Apify calls; video URLs or ids are sent to Apify.
