A small MCP server that provides YouTube video transcription and exposes it as a Claude-compatible tool via SSE.

Example Use Cases

1
Fetch and transcribe YouTube video audio into text for summarization or Q&A workflows.
2
Expose live or on-demand YouTube transcript data to Claude desktop via a custom MCP tool.
3
Run a local, self-hosted transcription endpoint leveraging OpenAI models and browser cookies for YouTube access.

Description

This repository implements an MCP server that transcribes YouTube videos (using an OpenAI API key) and serves results over an SSE endpoint for integration with Claude desktop. It requires browser cookies for YouTube access and a generated MCP_KEY for authentication. The server is packaged to run locally (via provided scripts) and can be added to Claude's mcpServers configuration so agents can call YouTube transcription tools directly.
