Youtube

Fetch and summarize YouTube videos by extracting titles, descriptions, and transcripts.

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI assistants to analyze and summarize YouTube videos by extracting captions, descriptions, and metadata.

- Extract video captions/subtitles in multiple languages
- Retrieve comprehensive video metadata (title, description, duration)
- Provide structured data to AI assistants for comprehensive video summarization
- Works with any MCP-compatible client through MCP integration
- Support for multiple YouTube URL formats
- Language-specific caption extraction

To add the MCP server to your MCP client, you can use either method:

Option 1: Using npx (No Installation Required)

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file:

{ "mcpServers": { "youtube-video-summarizer": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "youtube-video-summarizer-mcp"] } } }

The server automatically filters out any npm/npx output to ensure MCP protocol compliance.

Option 2: Global Installation (Recommended for Production)

npm install -g youtube-video-summarizer-mcp

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file:

{ "mcpServers": { "youtube-video-summarizer": { "command": "youtube-video-summarizer", "args": [] } } }

When integrated with an MCP client, the following commands become available:

- get-video-info-for-summary-from-url: Extract video information and captions from a YouTube URL
- get-video-captions: Get captions/subtitles for a specific video
- get-video-metadata: Retrieve comprehensive video metadata

Once integrated with your MCP client, you can use natural language to request video summaries:

"Can you summarize this YouTube video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID" "What are the main points from this video's captions?" "Extract the key information from this YouTube link"

npm install -g youtube-video-summarizer-mcp

git clone https://github.com/nabid-pf/youtube-video-summarizer-mcp.git cd youtube-video-summarizer-mcp npm install npm run build

- URL Parsing: Extracts video IDs from various YouTube URL formats
- Caption Extraction: Uses youtube-caption-extractor to get subtitles
- Metadata Retrieval: Fetches video title, description, and other details
- MCP Integration: The Model Context Protocol (MCP) to communicate with AI assistants
