作者提供的说明(英文原文)
Let AI assistants read YouTube: transcripts with clickable timestamps, chapters, search, channels.
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 …”。
适用于网页版、桌面版和手机版 Claude:
https://vidskim.com/api/mcp在终端中运行这条命令
claude mcp add --transport http youtube https://vidskim.com/api/mcp粘贴到项目中的 .cursor/mcp.json,或 ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"youtube": {
"url": "https://vidskim.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}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。
粘贴到项目中的 .vscode/mcp.json
{
"servers": {
"youtube": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://vidskim.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}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。
ChatGPT 只能连接互联网上的服务器:
https://vidskim.com/api/mcp菜单名称可能因套餐和版本不同而略有差异。
你的选择通过 Cookie 保存在这台设备上,无需账户。

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 3 项适用的基础检查中通过了 3 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。
它在作者的云端运行。通过互联网连接,无需安装,但你发送的内容会经过作者的服务器。
GitHub 仓库最后更新于–,最新版本(1.0.2)于7天前进入注册中心。
支持 MCP 的应用,例如 Claude Desktop、Claude Code、Cursor 和 VS Code。它通过 URL 连接,所以接受远程 MCP 服务器的应用也可以使用,例如开启开发者模式的 ChatGPT。

A hosted Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients read YouTube videos. It returns full transcripts with chapters and a clickable timestamp on every paragraph, so the assistant answers from what was actually said and you can check each claim in one click.
https://vidskim.com/api/mcp
Remote server, Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration. Nothing to install, no API key: paste the URL and sign in with Google.
Website and docs: vidskim.com/mcp · Registry: com.vidskim/youtube · Listed in the Claude connector directory
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_transcript | Full transcript in Markdown with chapters and a timestamp link on every paragraph. Long videos come in parts; any time range can be read on its own; YouTube's machine translation is available for other languages. |
search_transcript | Finds the passages about a topic inside one video. |
get_video_info | Title, channel, date, views, description, and chapters. |
search_youtube | Finds videos by topic when you don't have a link yet. |
list_channel_videos | A channel's latest uploads, or the videos in a playlist. |
All tools are read-only. Vidskim never posts, comments, or touches your YouTube account.
Vidskim is listed in the Claude connector directory. Open claude.ai/directory/vidskim, click Connect to Claude, sign in with Google, and press Allow.
Or add it as a custom connector:
https://vidskim.com/api/mcp.Tip: choose Always allow for the Vidskim tools the first time Claude asks, so long videos (which arrive in several parts) don't ask again for every part.
claude mcp add --transport http vidskim https://vidskim.com/api/mcp
Then type /mcp inside Claude Code, pick vidskim, and sign in.
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": { "vidskim": { "url": "https://vidskim.com/api/mcp" } } }
Cursor opens the sign-in the first time a tool runs.
code --add-mcp '{"name":"vidskim","type":"http","url":"https://vidskim.com/api/mcp"}'
Start the server from the MCP view and sign in when Copilot asks.
Add a remote MCP server with the Streamable HTTP transport and the URL above. Authentication is standard OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration.
Explain how this video says a transformer works, in a few short points with timestamps: https://youtu.be/wjZofJX0v4M
- A chatbot works by predicting a probability distribution for the next chunk of text, sampling from it, and repeating 2:01.
- The input is split into tokens, and each token becomes a vector meant to encode its meaning 3:04.
- In the attention block those vectors pass information to each other 4:05.
This repository holds the listing files for MCP directories (this README and server.json). The server itself is hosted at vidskim.com.
