Youtube Media Mcp Server

Gives Claude and other MCP clients seven tools to search YouTube videos, pull full timestamped transcripts, grab channel stats, and search podcast episodes. Built as a workaround to YouTube Data API's 10k daily quota and broken third-party caption scrapers. You get search_youtube_videos with date and duration filters, get_video_transcript for closed captions, get_channel_stats for subscriber counts, and search_podcasts across major directories. Runs on Apify's infrastructure at $0.002 per tool call with no monthly minimum. Useful when you need an agent to summarize top videos on a topic, monitor competitor channels, or extract quotes from podcast episodes without hitting API walls or dealing with unreliable scraping libraries.
