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.
Let an AI agent read TikTok. This repo connects Claude, Cursor, Codex and other MCP clients or skill-aware agents to the TikTok Scraper Apify Actor.
Ask "what were the most liked iced matcha videos this week" or "vet @creator for brand safety", and the agent gets structured rows: videos with views, likes, comments, shares and saves; creator profiles with follower counts; comments with replies; follower and following lists; sounds and hashtag feeds. Optional extras are watermark-free MP4s, transcripts and AI labels for category, sponsored content, brand safety and sentiment.
No TikTok account, cookies or API key. You need only an Apify account.

Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http tiktok https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=harshmaur/tiktok-scraper

Registry name: io.github.harshmaur/tiktok-scraper in the official MCP Registry.
skills/apify-tiktok-scraper/SKILL.md tells an agent which input list fits a request, that the per-target video count defaults to 1, which options cost extra, and how to read each row type.
Claude Code plugin (skill plus the hosted MCP tool):
/plugin install apify-tiktok-scraper --marketplace harshmaur/apify-tiktok-scraper
Any agent that reads skills:
npx skills add https://github.com/harshmaur/apify-tiktok-scraper
$0.35 per 1,000 videos, $0.20 per 1,000 comments, $0.25 per 1,000 followers, $4 per 1,000 profiles. Date and likes filters, exact hashtag match and TikTok's own captions are free. AI labels, AI transcripts and video downloads cost extra. Inputs that fail come back as free failed rows.
The input uses the same field names as clockworks/tiktok-scraper, so a saved input from there runs as it is.
