# YouTube MCP(Model Context Protcol) Server
----
This MCP server provides a tool to fetch and extract transcripts from YouTube videos. It enables AI language models (LLMs) to:
- Access complete text transcripts from YouTube video URLs
- Process and analyze video content through transcripts
- Reference and discuss video information in conversations
The server acts as a bridge between AI models and YouTube content by automatically extracting and formatting video transcripts.
Instead of saying can't access links
## Setup
1. Install uv (Python package manager):
**Mac:**
```bash
brew install uv
```
**Linux:**
```bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```
**Windows:**
```powershell
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
```
2. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone git@github.com:PrajwalPrashanth/youtube-mcp-server.git
cd youtube-mcp-server
```
3. Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:
```bash
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
# On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
uv pip install -r pyproject.toml
```
## Add this MCP server to Claude Desktop ([download](https://claude.ai/download))
```bash
uv run mcp install -e . server.py -n "youtube-mcp"
```
Once this is done you should see the tool icon in the UI
and you can ask for it to do actions (like summarize) with the transcript by providing a YT video
