get-youtube-video-transcript-mcp
This is an MCP server which grabs transcripts/subtitles as well as the title from YouTube videos using yt-dlp.
Installation
git clone https://github.com/Mizstik/get-youtube-video-transcript-mcp.git
cd get-youtube-video-transcript-mcp
npm install
Then grab the yt-dlp executable from https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases and place it in the cloned directory (where main.js is).
Starting with yt-dlp's 2025-11-12 release, you will also need to install Deno:
winget install deno
Then add the following to the MCP config of your LLM frontend:
"get-youtube-video-transcript-mcp": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"C:\\path\\to\\get-youtube-video-transcript-mcp\\main.js"
]
}
Afterward, any model trained on tool-calling can make use of the tool.
