Common questions
Is Rippr MCP safe?
It passed 3 of 3 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?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 5 days ago, and the latest version (1.3.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

rippr
YouTube transcript ripper for humans and AI agents.
Website · Chrome Web Store · MCP Server (npm)
Three ways to use rippr
🌐 Website — rippr.me
Paste a YouTube URL, get the transcript. Clean text, no signup.
🧩 Chrome Extension — Chrome Web Store
One-click transcript extraction directly on any YouTube page. Multiple output formats (RAG, JSON, Markdown).
🤖 MCP Server — npm
Connect rippr to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client. Saves each transcript to ~/rippr/transcripts/ and returns the file path to the model.
Desktop clients only. rippr runs as a local stdio process, so it works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code CLI, and Cursor. It does not work with cloud-hosted clients (claude.ai on the web, the Claude mobile app, or Claude Code on phone / web), which can't spawn local processes.
npx rippr-mcpAdd to Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{"mcpServers": { "rippr": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "rippr-mcp"] } } }
Then ask: *"Rip this YouTube video: [url]"*. See mcp/README.md for the full tool surface.
Output formats
- RAG (.txt) — single continuous text block, optimized for chunking and embedding
- Structured (.json) — timestamped segments with metadata
- Readable (.md) — markdown with headers and formatting
How it works
Multi-strategy extraction for maximum reliability:
- Innertube API — YouTube's internal player API (Android client)
- HTML scraping — parses
ytInitialPlayerResponsefrom page source - Transcript panel — opens YouTube's built-in transcript panel as last resort
Caption XML parsed in multiple formats (srv3, timedtext, JSON3). Retry with exponential backoff on transient failures.
Privacy
Runs entirely on your machine. No data sent to external servers. No accounts, no tracking. Only communicates with YouTube's own APIs.
