Common questions

Is TubeToTranscript safe?

It passed 5 of 5 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 16 days ago, and the latest version (1.1.1) reached the registry 16 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

TubeToTranscript MCP Server: YouTube Transcripts for Claude, Cursor & AI Agents

By [TubeToTranscript](https://www.tubetotranscript.com), the free YouTube transcript generator. Website · API docs · Remote MCP endpoint · npm · Source

tubetotranscript-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI assistants read YouTube videos. Ask Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client to summarize a video, find a quote, or turn a lecture into notes, and it fetches the video's captions itself, with timestamps, title, channel, and language.

Free, no API key, no account. Runs on your computer and reads the captions YouTube already has.
Works with any video that has captions: watch links, Shorts, youtu.be links, embeds, or a bare video ID.
Every caption language the video offers, including auto-generated tracks.
Exports plain text, text with timestamps, SRT, and WebVTT subtitles.

Quick start

Point your MCP client at the package with npx. Nothing to install globally.

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\):

"mcpServers": { "tubetotranscript": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "tubetotranscript-mcp"] } } }

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

"mcpServers": { "tubetotranscript": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "tubetotranscript-mcp"] } } }

Restart the client afterwards so it picks up the new server.

Claude Code

claude mcp add tubetotranscript -- npx -y tubetotranscript-mcp

What you can ask

Once connected, just paste a YouTube link into the chat:

"Summarize this video in five bullet points: https://youtu.be/…"
"When does the speaker talk about pricing? Give me the timestamps."
"Turn this lecture into study notes and ten flashcards."
"Which caption languages does this video have?"
"Export the Spanish captions as an SRT file."

Tools

`get_youtube_transcript`

Returns the transcript with timed segments, title, channel, duration, and the available languages.

Parameter	Required	Description
`url_or_video_id`	yes	Video URL (`watch`, `shorts`, `youtu.be`, `embed`) or the 11-character ID
`language`	no	Language code such as `en`, `es`, `fr`. Defaults to English or the primary track

`get_available_languages`

Local or remote?

	Local (this package)	Remote (tubetotranscript.com/mcp)
Install	`npx -y tubetotranscript-mcp`	None, connect by URL
Transport	stdio	Streamable HTTP
API key	Not needed	Required (get a free key)
Where requests run	Your computer	TubeToTranscript's servers

Clients that take a remote URL, such as Cursor:

"mcpServers": { "tubetotranscript": { "url": "https://www.tubetotranscript.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

Without an AI client

The same transcripts are available on the web at TubeToTranscript, free and without signing up:

YouTube Transcript Generator: paste a link, read, search, copy, or download
YouTube Transcript for ChatGPT & Claude: transcript plus prompt, split for long videos
YouTube Quote Finder: find when something was said
YouTube to JSON and YouTube to Excel & CSV exports
REST API: the same data over HTTP for scripts and apps

Requirements & limitations

Node.js 18 or later (uses the built-in fetch).
Reads only captions that YouTube already exposes. Videos with captions turned off return an error; this server does no speech-to-text of its own.
Caption text can contain recognition errors. Check names, figures, and quotes against the video.
