An MCP server retrieving transcripts of YouTube videos
Description from the maker (original English)
Timestamped transcripts, chapters and clip suggestions from YouTube, Twitch, Kick or TikTok links.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.
Run this in your terminal
claude mcp add --transport http clipcliper https://clipcliper.com/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'Fill in the empty values before running it.
Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

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 in developer mode.

An MCP server retrieving transcripts of YouTube videos
GA4 MCP server for AI agents: schema discovery, server-side aggregation, analysis-ready defaults.
AI video summarizer: summarize and transcribe YouTube, Bilibili, TikTok and podcast videos.
Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.
Give your agent a public video link and get back a timestamped transcript, chapters and clip suggestions. Works with YouTube (videos, shorts, live replays), Twitch VODs, Kick VODs and TikTok, including the platforms that block datacenter IPs.
The server is hosted: nothing to download or run on GPUs. The video is fetched, transcribed with Whisper large-v3 and deleted; only the transcript stays, for 24 hours.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_transcript | Full transcript with timestamps. Formats: timestamped (default), text, srt, segments (JSON). |
get_chapters | Topic chapters: start, end, title, one-line summary. |
suggest_clips | The most shareable moments for short-form clips: start, end, hook-style title, reason. Accepts an editorial instruction. |
All three take a url. Processing is asynchronous: a call waits up to wait_seconds (default 90) and, if the video is still downloading or transcribing, returns status: "processing". Call the same tool again with the same url; the job keeps running on the server and nothing is charged twice. Results are cached for 24 hours per url.

Remote (recommended), Streamable HTTP:
https://clipcliper.com/mcp
Authorization: Bearer
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http clipcliper https://clipcliper.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients that take a JSON config (remote):
{
"mcpServers": { "clipcliper": { "type": "http", "url": "https://clipcliper.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY" } } } }
Local bridge (stdio) for clients that cannot call a URL directly:
{
"mcpServers": { "clipcliper": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "clipcliper-mcp"], "env": { "CLIPCLIPER_LICENSE_KEY": "YOUR_KEY" } } } }
The bridge is this repository: a ~100-line process that speaks MCP over stdio and forwards every call to the hosted endpoint with your key. Until the npm package is published you can run it straight from GitHub: npx -y github:Inmoprice/clipcliper-mcp.
| Pack | Price | Minutes | Per minute |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | USD 9 | 600 | USD 0.015 |
| Pro | USD 29 | 3,000 | USD 0.0097 |
| Scale | USD 79 | 12,000 | USD 0.0066 |
Every video costs one pack minute per started minute of video; chapters and clip suggestions on a transcribed video are free. The license key is emailed to you right after checkout. Send it as Authorization: Bearer (or X-License-Key); it never goes in tool arguments or URLs. Hour packs of the CLIPCLIPER desktop app also work here (one pack hour per started hour).
Prefer plain HTTP? The same pipeline is available at POST https://clipcliper.com/api/link/transcribe, /api/link/chapters and /api/link/suggest with a JSON body {"url": "..."} and the same header. 202 while processing, 200 when done.
