YouTube MCP server
One URL gives your AI assistant real YouTube access: transcripts, search, channels, playlists, and new-upload tracking — right inside the conversation.
Connect in one command
For Claude Code, one command adds the server. For Claude on the web or desktop, add it as a custom connector; for Cursor and VS Code, paste the one-line JSON config; for ChatGPT, add it in developer mode. There is nothing to install and nothing to run locally — it is a hosted, streamable-HTTP server.

Seven tools, designed for agents
get_transcript fetches one video's transcript with metadata. get_transcripts batches up to 20 at once. search_youtube finds videos by keyword, and search_channel searches inside a single channel. get_channel_videos and get_playlist_videos list an archive so the agent can decide what to read. get_latest_videos is free and perfect for "what did this channel post this week?" monitoring.
What that unlocks in practice
Paste a link and say "summarize this talk with key quotes." Ask for every video in a course playlist as study notes. Have your assistant watch three competitor channels and brief you on new uploads each morning. Research what a creator has said about a topic across their whole archive — the agent lists the channel, picks candidates, and reads only those transcripts.
Reliable where DIY MCP servers break
Most YouTube MCP servers on GitHub run yt-dlp on your machine or a cloud box — and die on YouTube's bot checks the week after you set them up. This one rides the same production extraction chain as the BulkTranscripts app: residential proxy routing, proof-of-origin tokens, retries, and a shared cache serving popular videos instantly.
Questions
Which MCP clients does it work with?
Anything that speaks MCP over streamable HTTP: Claude Code, Claude web/desktop connectors, ChatGPT developer mode, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Cline, and the official MCP SDKs.
Is it really free to try?
Yes — 30 free transcript additions limited by device and public IP, no account or card. The latest-uploads tool is free forever.
Do I have to run anything locally?
No. It is a hosted remote server at https://bulktranscripts.co/mcp — no npx, no Docker, no API key juggling to start.
Can it read a whole channel?
Yes: the agent lists the channel's videos (up to 1,000), then batch-fetches transcripts. Videos already in your account's library come back instantly and free.
