YouTube MCP Server
by anaisbetts
The YouTube MCP Server enables Claude to summarize YouTube videos by:
Downloading subtitles from any YouTube video URL
Connecting to claude.ai via Model Context Protocol
Providing the subtitle content to Claude for processing
Allowing Claude to overcome its typical limitation of not being able to directly access YouTube video content
Enabling users to request video summaries by simply providing a YouTube URL
Downloads subtitles from YouTube videos to provide context to Claude
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@YouTube MCP Serversummarize the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
