An MCP server retrieving transcripts of YouTube videos
Description from the maker (original English)
Schedule social posts, threads and video to X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon and YouTube from your AI.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.
Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.
POSTBASE_API_KEY, POSTBASE_API_URLValues marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

It passed 1 of 1 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.

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

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.
The Model Context Protocol server for Postbase, the open-source social media scheduler. Add it to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client and let your AI agent draft and schedule posts and threads to X, LinkedIn, Bluesky and Mastodon. (TikTok and YouTube need a video, so schedule those in the app.)
Post everywhere. Even from your AI.
Postbase also runs this server for you at https://mcp.postbase.so/mcp, with OAuth sign-in instead of an API key. Add that URL as a custom connector in Claude or ChatGPT, or as a remote MCP server in Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Claude Code or Gemini CLI. The MCP config generator prints the exact setup for each one.
Use this npm package when you want an API key instead, or a self-hosted Postbase.
Any MCP client — the minimal config:
{
"mcpServers": { "postbase": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@postbasehq/mcp"], "env": { "POSTBASE_API_KEY": "pb_live_your_key_here" } } } }
Claude Desktop — add the same block to your config file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.jsonThen restart Claude Desktop.
Cursor — add it to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or Settings → MCP):
{
"mcpServers": { "postbase": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@postbasehq/mcp"], "env": { "POSTBASE_API_KEY": "pb_live_your_key_here" } } } }
Local development — point at a Postbase instance running on your machine:
{
"mcpServers": { "postbase": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@postbasehq/mcp"], "env": { "POSTBASE_API_KEY": "pb_live_your_key_here", "POSTBASE_API_URL": "http://localhost:3000/api/v1" } } } }
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
list_channels | List the channels connected to your workspace. |
create_post | Create a draft, or schedule a post or thread: channel_ids, scheduled_at (ISO 8601 with an offset) or schedule_in_minutes, channel_bodies for per-channel text, media_ids or media_urls, youtube details, and an idempotency_key so retries can't post twice. TikTok posts can only be drafts. |
get_post | How a post went on each channel: status, live URL, error, retry time and latest metrics. |
update_post | Edit or reschedule a draft or scheduled post; only the fields you pass change. |
retry_post | Send a post again to the channels where it failed. |
get_analytics | Impressions, likes, comments, shares and saves per post and channel, with totals. |
list_media | List images and videos in your Postbase media library, to attach by id. |
add_media | Add an image or video to the media library from a public https link. |
list_scheduled | List scheduled posts, or drafts, published or failed ones with status. |
cancel_post | Cancel a scheduled post by id (it goes back to a draft). |
schedule_thread | Create a thread (tweets in order). Kept for older setups; create_post with thread does the same. |
| Variable | Required | Default |
|---|---|---|
POSTBASE_API_KEY | yes | — |
POSTBASE_API_URL | no | https://www.postbase.so/api/v1 |
For local development against a Postbase instance on your machine, set POSTBASE_API_URL=http://localhost:3000/api/v1.
