Summary
This does exactly what it says: pulls transcripts from YouTube videos and saves them locally. It tries the fast path first with yt-dlp if you have it installed, complete with cookie handling to dodge sign-in walls. If that's not available, it falls back to browser automation through chrome-devtools-mcp, clicking through the UI to expand descriptions and extract transcripts via DOM injection. The browser fallback is clever but requires setup. You'll want this when you need video content in text form for analysis, documentation, or just archiving what someone said. Works with multiple subtitle languages and handles the timestamp formatting for you.
