这三项永远不会合并成一个分数:意见、测量和人气是不同的东西。
我们还没有为它写通俗的介绍。下面是我们从注册中心读取到的事实。
选择你使用的 AI 应用,然后复制设置。
你需要
你用的是哪个应用?
在上方选择你的应用。我们会记住它,下次按钮会显示“安装到 …”。
打开 Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config,把下面的内容粘贴到 claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ytmcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@mrsknetwork/ytmcp"
]
}
}
}在终端中运行这条命令
claude mcp add ytmcp -- npx -y @mrsknetwork/ytmcp粘贴到项目中的 .cursor/mcp.json,或 ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ytmcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@mrsknetwork/ytmcp"
]
}
}
}浏览器会先询问是否打开应用,然后应用会显示设置并请你确认。密钥的值会留空,由你自己填写。

与注册中心里这个分类中所有活跃的服务器比较。只有当发布者拥有该仓库时,星标数才计入。
它在 1 项适用的基础检查中通过了 1 项。我们没有阅读代码。在添加密钥或令牌之前,请先看看这个服务器要求哪些权限,并使用只具备所需权限的密钥。
注册中心没有列出必需的密钥,不过有些服务器会在首次使用时要求你登录。
它在你的电脑上运行。你的 AI 应用会在需要时启动它,数据不会经过作者的服务器(除非它自己调用在线服务)。
GitHub 仓库最后更新于–,最新版本(1.0.14)于4个月前进入注册中心。
支持 MCP 的应用,例如 Claude Desktop、Claude Code、Cursor 和 VS Code。你的电脑上还需要有 Node.js。

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.
按原文从作者的仓库复制。PopNx MCP 没有审查或背书其内容。HTML、图片和脚本已被移除。链接会离开本站。
Connect AI assistants to YouTube: search, transcripts, metadata, and more.
Once connected, your AI can:
@handle (e.g. @MrBeast).The server supports three access tiers. Pick the one that fits your use case.
Works out of the box. The get_video_transcript tool uses yt-dlp to extract transcripts without any API credentials.
{
"mcpServers": { "youtube-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@mrsknetwork/ytmcp@latest"] } } }
Unlocks all public data tools. Best for search, metadata, comments, trending videos, and transcripts.
1. Get a Google API Key
2. Add to your MCP client config or .env file
Pass GOOGLE_API_KEY via env in your MCP client config, or place GOOGLE_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY inside a .env file in the project directory.
{
"mcpServers": { "youtube-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@mrsknetwork/ytmcp@latest"], "env": { "GOOGLE_API_KEY": "YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY" } } } }
Required for private subscriptions, memberships, and account activity.
1. Create an OAuth 2.0 Client
http://localhost:31415/oauth2callback.2. Add to your MCP client config
Credentials are passed securely via environment variables in the MCP config. They are never stored in files.
{
"mcpServers": { "youtube-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@mrsknetwork/ytmcp@latest"], "env": { "GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com", "GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret" } } } }
3. First-time login
On your first tool call, the AI will share a login link. Click it, authorize the app in your browser, then tell the AI you are done. Your session is saved. You will not need to log in again unless you revoke access.
4. Signing out
Ask your AI to call revoke_oauth_token to sign out and delete your stored credentials at any time.
