YouTube MCP Server

This project leverages yt-dlp to extract subtitles from YouTube videos and integrates them with claude.ai using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This allows users to query Claude about YouTube videos by providing the video URL. For example, you can ask Claude to "Summarize the YouTube video <<URL>>". The project requires yt-dlp to be installed on your local machine.

How do I get this working?

1. Install yt-dlp using a package manager like Homebrew or WinGet. This tool is essential for downloading the subtitles from YouTube.
2. Install this server using the mcp-installer tool. The specific name to use during installation is @anaisbetts/mcp-youtube. This will set up the connection between yt-dlp and the MCP, enabling Claude to access the video subtitles.
