About mcp-youtube-transcript

jkawamoto/mcp-youtube-transcript

MCP server retrieving transcripts of YouTube videos

Exposes three tools via the Model Context Protocol: `get_transcript` and `get_timed_transcript` for retrieving video content with optional language selection, plus `get_video_info` for metadata. Implements automatic response pagination by splitting transcripts exceeding 50,000 characters with cursor-based retrieval to stay within LLM token limits. Integrates with Claude Desktop, Goose, and LM Studio through MCP, with Docker deployment support and configurable proxy handling for restricted networks.
