TranscriptFetch MCP Server已验证已精选

What is TranscriptFetch?

The TranscriptFetch MCP server gives any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, and others) access to the TranscriptFetch API: fetch YouTube transcripts, search videos, and enumerate channels and playlists. It runs locally over stdio and calls the API with your key.

Tools

• get_transcript: full transcript for a single video (ID or URL)
• search_videos: search YouTube by keyword
• list_channel_videos: list a channel's videos (handle, ID, or URL)
• list_playlist_videos: list a playlist's videos (ID or URL)

Setup

Add this to your MCP client config, then restart the client:

​json { "mcpServers": { "transcriptfetch": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "transcriptfetch-mcp"], "env": { "TRANSCRIPTFETCH_API_KEY": "tf_live_..." } } } } ​
