常见问题

1

What does this server do and how does it differ from alternatives?

This MCP server provides tools for downloading YouTube videos and audio using yt-dlp, exposed to any MCP-compatible AI assistant. It relies on yt-dlp as its underlying download engine.

2

What are the system requirements to run it?

Python 3.13 or higher and yt-dlp must be installed on the system.

3

Where are downloaded files stored?

By default, files are saved to `~/Downloads/youtube_downloads`. This can be changed by setting the `DEFAULT_DOWNLOAD_DIR` environment variable.

4

What transport or authentication does the server use?

The server runs in stdio mode with debug enabled by default. No authentication mechanism is described.

5

Are there any known limitations?

The server only provides two tools — one for video download (MP4) and one for audio download (MP3) — and requires both Python 3.13+ and yt-dlp to be pre-installed.
