Once configured, restart Claude Code to access the get-transcript and get-transcript-languages tools.

常见问题

1

What is the 25,000 token limit?

The MCP protocol has a 25,000 token response limit. Very long transcripts (60+ min with timestamps) may exceed this. Disabling timestamps typically reduces response size by 20–30%, making most videos fit within the limit.

2

Which YouTube URL formats are supported?

The tool supports `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID`, `https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID`, `https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID`, and just the 11-character video ID.

3

What are the runtime requirements?

The server requires Node.js installed and in the PATH. It runs as a local Node.js process communicating via stdio, using the `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` and a custom YouTube transcript library with zero external dependencies for fetching.

4

What if a video has no transcript or language not found?

Not all YouTube videos have transcripts; some only have auto-generated captions in certain languages. Private or restricted videos cannot be accessed. Use the `get-transcript-languages` tool to check available languages.

5

How are transcripts fetched?

The server directly integrates with YouTube's Innertube API for reliable transcript access. It uses native fetch API and zero external dependencies for transcript fetching.
