README

YouTube Transcript MCP Server

A high-performance, serverless implementation of a YouTube transcript extraction service using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), deployed on Cloudflare Workers.

Overview

This MCP server enables AI assistants to retrieve transcripts from YouTube videos through a simple API. The implementation combines the lightweight transcript extraction capabilities seen in kimtaeyoon83/mcp-server-youtube-transcript with the remote MCP server architecture from Cloudflare AI demos.

Features

  • Serverless Deployment: Runs on Cloudflare's global edge network for minimal latency
  • YouTube URL Flexibility: Supports multiple URL formats and direct video IDs
  • Language Selection: Retrieve transcripts in different languages (defaults to English)
  • Edge-optimized: Ultra-fast response times (typically 400-800ms)
  • Minimal Implementation: Less than 300 lines of code for easy maintenance
  • SSE Transport: Implements Server-Sent Events for streaming connections

Available Tools

Tool Description Parameters
get_transcript Extract transcripts from YouTube videos url (required): YouTube video URL or IDlang (optional, default: "en"): Language code

Local Development

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or higher
  • Wrangler CLI (npm install -g wrangler)

Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/youtube-transcript-mcp-server.git
cd youtube-transcript-mcp-server

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run locally
wrangler dev

Testing with MCP Inspector

  1. Install the MCP Inspector:

    npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

  2. In the inspector:

    • Set Transport Type to SSE
    • Enter http://localhost:8787/sse as the URL
    • Click "Connect"

  3. Try out the get_transcript tool with different YouTube URLs

Deployment to Cloudflare

# Deploy to Cloudflare Workers
wrangler deploy

Technical Implementation

The server is built with a minimal, high-efficiency codebase:

  • YouTubeTranscriptMCPSqlite: Core MCP agent implementation with transcript extraction capabilities
  • McpServer: Handles MCP protocol interactions
  • MCP Protocol Integration: Complete implementation of the Model Context Protocol

Key optimizations:

  1. Efficient URL parsing and validation
  2. Minimal external dependencies
  3. Proper error handling with detailed error messages
  4. Streaming support through SSE
