概要

What is yt-dlp-mcp?

yt-dlp-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that integrates yt-dlp with MCP-compatible AI systems like Claude and Dive. It lets you search videos, download content, extract metadata, get transcripts, and more — all through natural language commands.

How to use yt-dlp-mcp?

Install yt‑dlp on your system first, then add the npx configuration to your MCP client. Tools are prefixed with ytdlp_ and are invoked by the AI agent based on natural language prompts. Environment variables let you customize downloads directory, default resolution, subtitle language, and character limits.

よくある質問

Does yt-dlp-mCP require yt-dlp to be installed separately?

Yes. You must install yt‑dlp using `winget` (Windows), `brew` (macOS), or `pip` (Linux) before using the server.

How do I access private or age-restricted videos?

Configure cookies by setting the `YTDLP_COOKIES_FROM_BROWSER` environment variable (e.g., `chrome`) or providing a cookie file path. This requires a JavaScript runtime (deno) to be installed.

Where are downloaded files saved?

Downloads are saved to `~/Downloads` by default. You can change the directory via the `YTDLP_DOWNLOADS_DIR` environment variable.

Are there any character limits enforced?

Yes. The server enforces a default character limit of 25,000 for outputs and a maximum transcript length of 50,000 characters, both adjustable via environment variables.

What data does yt-dlp-mCP collect from my usage?

The server does not perform any tracking or analytics. All downloads happen directly via yt‑dlp, and inputs are validated with Zod schemas for LLM safety.
