YouTube transcripts, video and channel search, channel browsing and playlist extraction for AI agents, via the hosted TranscriptAPI MCP server. OAuth sign-in, free tier, no API key to manage.
YouTube MCP + YouTube Skill for AI agents: YouTube transcripts, video and channel metadata, captions, subtitles, video and channel search, channel browsing and playlist extraction. 12 hosted MCP tools plus one skill, powered by TranscriptAPI. OAuth sign-in, free tier, no API key to manage.
Fetch YouTube video transcripts as plain text from Kiro, so the agent can read, summarize, quote, or research spoken video content it otherwise cannot see. Bundles a small Python script that wraps the youtube-transcript-api library: pass one or more video URLs or IDs and it writes one UTF-8.txt per video, reporting word counts and skipping videos with no captions. Handles full watch URLs, youtu.be short links, /shorts/ and /embed/ forms, and bare 11-character IDs, and works across both the modern (>=1.0) and legacy youtube-transcript-api interfaces. Use when the user shares YouTube links and wants the words, not the video. No API key required; transcripts are pulled from YouTube's public caption tracks.
Import media, edit with Underlord, publish share links, and export transcripts or Premiere/Resolve timelines, from your agent.
Clip long videos, burn captions, and schedule posts from chat. Connects to the live Vugola MCP at vugolaai.com.
Extract YouTube video transcripts (subtitles/voice-over) as clean text or Excel
