Fetch and summarize YouTube videos by extracting their titles, descriptions, and transcripts.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables Claude to fetch and summarize YouTube videos by extracting titles, descriptions, and transcripts.
- Extract YouTube video metadata (title, description, duration)
- Retrieve and process video captions using youtube-caption-extractor
- Provide structured data to Claude for comprehensive video summarization
- Works with Claude Desktop through MCP integration
To add the MCP server to Claude Desktop:
- Go to Settings > Developer > Edit config
- Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json file:
{ "mcpServers": { "youtube-video-summarizer": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "youtube-video-summarizer-mcp"] } } }
When integrated with Claude, the following commands become available:
- get-video-info-for-summary-from-url: Get basic information about a YouTube video
Once integrated with Claude Desktop, you can use natural language to request video summaries:
- "Can you summarize this YouTube video for me?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
- "What are the key points from this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
