Youtube MCP Server 工具

5

Retrieves the full transcript of a specified YouTube video. This tool is useful for understanding video content without watching it, or for extracting textual information from videos. FORMATTING GUIDANCE (optional - user instructions override): When creating summaries, consider using: **Key Points with Timestamps:** Use [MM:SS] or [HH:MM:SS] inline references. **Structure:** Break into logical sections. **Context:** Include video title and channel. Example: 'The speaker explains TypeScript generics [05:30] and shows practical examples [08:15].' This formatting is optional - always follow any specific user instructions instead.

Searches YouTube for videos matching the specified query. Returns a list of video results with title, video ID, and channel information. Results are sorted by rating by default for better quality content.

Retrieves a list of videos from a specified YouTube channel. This tool is useful for getting all videos uploaded by a specific channel.

Captures a screenshot from a YouTube video at a specified timestamp. Requires yt-dlp for full-quality captures; falls back to lower-resolution YouTube storyboards (320x180 max) if yt-dlp is not installed.
