Description

This MCP server retrieves YouTube video transcripts (merged into ~10s segments), extracts metadata, and detects chapter markers, returning structured responses suitable for agents like Claude. It supports extracting transcript segments, locating claims with fuzzy matching, and a fact-checking workflow that queries a search API. If no search API key is provided, a mock search mode is available for demonstrations. The server is designed to make video content easier to read, summarize, and verify programmatically.
