If you're tired of manually piping YouTube videos through yt-dlp and Whisper every time Claude needs to understand video content, this is the managed alternative. It exposes four MCP tools: transcribe() for instant multi-platform transcription (YouTube, Loom, Instagram, TikTok), get_transcript() for structured output with speakers and chapters, list_transcripts() for your archive, and search_my_transcripts() for semantic search across everything you've ever transcribed. The semantic search is the standout: ask your LLM to find "all the times I talked about pricing" and it queries your entire video corpus by meaning, not keywords. Currently free for 60 minutes per month during beta, with caching for public videos so you're not burning quota on rewatches.
