Description

This server exposes MCP tools to retrieve YouTube video metadata, list available subtitle languages, and download or translate subtitles using yt-dlp and ffmpeg. It's designed to integrate with MCP-compatible clients (like Claude Desktop) so assistants can fetch, analyze, summarize, or translate subtitles programmatically. The project includes Docker support for easy deployment and uses yt-dlp for robust subtitle extraction.
