Overview

AI-generated overview

Searches a curated library of AI, startup, VC and product YouTube videos, with timestamped transcript passages and weekly roundups.

What you can do
  • Search videos by keyword across titles, topics, TLDRs, channels and takeaways, ranked by relevance then recency
  • Search inside transcript passages for timestamped excerpts across multiple videos, and pull a bounded transcript window for one video
  • Browse and filter videos by category, sorted by recency, views, likes or quality score, and get full detail for a single video
  • List tracked channels, categories and canonical topic clusters with counts
  • Get corpus-wide statistics and weekly roundup indexes or a specific week's roundup
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to answer questions about AI, startups, venture capital, product or design from curated tech YouTube content, quote or cite what was said with timestamps, or summarize what happened in a given week.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local package or runtime. An optional Authorization header with a bearer token can be supplied to use your own daily quota instead of the shared anonymous budget.
Before you install
Without a token, requests draw on a shared anonymous quota, so usage may be limited or contended. The bearer token is a secret and should be kept out of logs and shared configurations. All content comes from BuildFeed's own curated index, so coverage is limited to the channels and videos it tracks.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open BuildFeed in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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/tech.buildfeed%2Fbuildfeed/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.

Tools

10

search_videos

Full-text search over BuildFeed's curated AI/startup/VC YouTube video library. Scores videos by keyword match across title, topics, TLDR summary, channel name, and key takeaways, ranked by relevance (then recency). Use this when the user asks about a specific topic, person, product, or company and you need to find relevant videos with summaries — not when you just want to browse everything (use list_videos for that instead).

Parameterslimitqueryrequiredsincecategory

search_transcript_passages

Search inside transcript passages, returning the most relevant timestamped excerpts across multiple videos. Use this for evidence, quotations, implementation details, or questions whose answer may not appear in a title or summary.

ParameterslimitqueryrequiredtopicaudiencecategorycontentType

get_transcript

Get a bounded transcript window for one video. Prefer search_transcript_passages for discovery; use this tool to inspect surrounding context after selecting a video.

ParametersvideoIdrequiredmaxCharsendSecondsstartSeconds

list_videos

List curated BuildFeed videos, optionally filtered by category and sorted by recency, views, likes, or quality score. Returns compact video records (title, channel, categories, view/like counts, quality score) without transcript or description text. Use this to browse recent/top videos; use search_videos instead when looking for a specific topic.

Parameterssortlimitsincecategory

get_video

Get full detail for a single BuildFeed video — description, channel info, stats, categories, topics, TLDR, and key takeaways (the raw transcript text itself is excluded). Accepts either an 11-character YouTube video ID or a BuildFeed article slug. Use this after search_videos/list_videos to drill into one specific result.

Parametersidrequired

list_channels

List YouTube channels tracked by BuildFeed, with per-channel video counts and categories, sorted by video count descending. Use this to discover which creators BuildFeed covers, optionally filtered to a category.

Parameterslimitcategory

list_categories

List all of BuildFeed's video categories (AI, VC, Startup, Product, Design, Tools) with the number of videos in each. Use this to understand the taxonomy before filtering search_videos/list_videos/list_channels by category.

Takes no parameters.

list_topics

List canonical topic clusters from the full BuildFeed archive, grouped into stable families such as AI & Models, Building, Product, Startups, and Industry. Returns video counts, aliases, content-type distribution, and audience labels.

ParametersgrouplimitminVideos

get_stats

Get aggregate statistics for the entire BuildFeed corpus: total videos, channels, categories, topics, and views; the published-date range; and transcript/TLDR enrichment coverage. Use this for high-level "how much data / how fresh" questions rather than per-video detail.

Takes no parameters.

get_weekly_roundup

Get BuildFeed's weekly roundup content. Without a date, returns the index of available weekly roundups (most recent first) — useful for discovering which weeks exist. With a date (YYYY-MM-DD week key), returns that week's full roundup detail. Use this for "what happened this week" or historical week-by-week summary questions.
