This server connects Claude to the Archivarix Tube Search API, giving you access to over a billion archived YouTube videos dating back to 2005. You get nine tools including search_videos for full-text queries, get_video for metadata on specific IDs, get_subtitles for transcripts, and get_summary for AI-generated overviews. It also exposes search_channel to pull all archived content from a given channel and get_video_status_history to see when videos went private or got deleted. The setup is straightforward: grab an API key from tube.archivarix.net and drop it into your MCP config. Useful when you need to reference content that's no longer publicly available or track how video metadata has changed over time.
