YouTube Data MCP

MCPOpen Source16.0

by diasm3 • Analytics & Monitoring

An MCP server that extracts YouTube video transcripts, metadata, comments, and comment replies for analysis and summarization.

Example Use Cases

1
Extract full or language-specific transcripts from a YouTube video to perform summarization or content analysis.
2
Collect video metadata (title, views, publish date, channel) to enrich search results or build content catalogs.
3
Fetch and paginate YouTube comments and comment replies (via SerpAPI) for sentiment analysis or moderation workflows.

Description

This server provides tools to fetch YouTube transcripts/subtitles, video information, top-level comments and comment replies (using SerpAPI). It runs as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) service that communicates over stdin/stdout and can be integrated with agents like Claude. The server benefits workflows that need programmatic access to YouTube text content for summarization, search, or downstream NLP tasks. Comment retrieval relies on a SerpAPI key for the YouTube scraping endpoints.
