README Documentation

YouTube MCP Server

Uses yt-dlp to download subtitles from YouTube and connects it to claude.ai via Model Context Protocol. Try it by asking Claude, "Summarize the YouTube video <>". Requires yt-dlp to be installed locally e.g. via Homebrew.

How do I get this working?

  1. Install yt-dlp (Homebrew and WinGet both work great here)
  2. Now, install this via mcp-installer, use the name @anaisbetts/mcp-youtube
