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
