A remote MCP that gives agents six YouTube operations: transcript retrieval, video search, channel browsing, in-channel search, playlist extraction, and RSS-based upload monitoring. It's built on TranscriptAPI's production infrastructure, which processes 500K+ transcripts daily with 49ms median response time. Works over streamable HTTP, so you can use it from Claude web, mobile, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT, and other clients without local installation. Supports both OAuth 2.1 and API key auth. The value proposition is straightforward: most YouTube MCPs scrape a single transcript, this one exposes the full YouTube data layer agents actually need for content research, channel analysis, and monitoring workflows. Free tier includes 100 credits to start.
