Overview

What is Mcp Video2text?

Mcp Video2text is an MCP server that downloads online videos and transcribes their audio into text using Whisper models, enabling quick reading of video content. It is intended for users who want to extract text from publicly accessible online videos via any MCP client.

How to use Mcp Video2text?

Install the uv package manager and ffmpeg, then run uv pip install mcp-video2text[mlx] (recommended for Apple Silicon) or uv pip install mcp-video2text[cpp]. In your MCP client configuration, set the command to uv run mcp-video2text. The first execution downloads the Whisper model, which may take a few minutes; adjust your client’s timeout accordingly.
