Summary
One job, no setup.
It does exactly one thing — pull a video's transcript — and needs no account or key to do it. Reach for it when you want an assistant to work from what a video says rather than sitting through it; anything more involved than fetching the text is out of scope by design.
What it is
A single-purpose server that fetches transcripts for YouTube videos. One tool, get_youtube_transcript, run over stdio.
What you get
- get_youtube_transcript returns the transcript of a YouTube video, so an assistant can summarise, quote or answer questions from the spoken content
Requirements
The uv package manager; run it with uvx ytt-mcp. Nothing to sign up for.
Setup effort
One command — uvx ytt-mcp
