A FastMCP server over the YouTube Data API and video subtitles. Three tools: extract a full transcript from a video URL, search videos by keyword with their metadata, and get a channel's information and latest videos from any of its video URLs.
- The full transcript of a video from its URL, in Korean or English
- Videos matched to a keyword, with views, likes and thumbnails
- A channel's metadata and recent uploads, resolved from any video URL belonging to it
A YouTube Data API key in the environment. Runs through uvx against youtubeinsights-mcp-server with nothing to install first, or from source with uv. Transcript coverage depends on the video having subtitles in ko or en.
One command plus a key — npx -y @smithery/cli install @dabidstudio/youtubeinsights-mcp-server --client claude, then supply credentials
