20 Best YouTube MCP Servers, Compared (October 2026)

Updated 20 of 765 YouTube servers in the Glama registryRebuilt weekly

The short answer

Most readers who need YouTube transcripts, search, channels, and playlists inside an agent should reach for YouTube Skills for AI Agents. It is a Community favourite with 964 GitHub stars, 259 stars gained per 30 days, and a commit 6 days ago. If you want a zero-config transcript fetcher with a published npm package, mcp-youtube is the better answer: it exposes getTranscripts, supports a zero-config install for transcript retrieval, and its @kirbah/mcp-youtube package had 427 downloads in a typical week, with 9 tools and an A grade for tool descriptions. If you need uploads from an MCP client instead, Youtube Uploader MCP exposes upload_video with OAuth2 authentication and multi-channel token management.

Whichever you choose, give it the narrowest access that still works (a read-only credential, a replica, a scratch account), and widen it only once you have watched what your agent actually asks for.

Glama operates the MCP registry these numbers are measured from, and sells MCP hosting and a gateway. No position on this page is paid for. How the registry is built.

The ranking, with the evidence

Each position is a weighted mean of adoption (40%), maintenance (24%), momentum (14%), tool description quality (13%) and trust (9%), multiplied by three attenuators: how directly the server is about YouTube (named for it, declaring it, tagged with it, or merely mentioning it), whether its repository is still moving, and how much independent evidence of adoption it has. Open the score on any entry to see every number, including the ones marked ≈, which were imputed from the median of the other candidates rather than measured. The maintenance grade on each entry is mostly issue responsiveness, release recency and open security alerts rather than commits, so a recent commit beside a low grade is two different measurements rather than a contradiction.

  • Abandoned but popular: People use it, but its default branch has stopped moving. Fine to keep running, risky to adopt.
  • Community favourite: Widely adopted and still actively maintained.
  • Dormant: Neither changing nor widely adopted. Here because it still matches the search.
  • Emerging: Small audience, growing quickly, maintained. The bet with the most upside.
  • Steady: Maintained, modest audience, no surprises in either direction.

    Community favouriteNo change
    ZeroPointRepo/youtube-skills ↗

    Best for: AI agents on OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, or Cursor needing YouTube transcripts, search, channels, and playlists: it ships Agent Skills for those tasks.

    YouTube Skills for AI Agents is an Agent Skills package that documents install commands for OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Cline, and Codex, and provides skills for transcripts, YouTube search, channel browsing, and playlist extraction. It requires a TranscriptAPI API key, and the documented setup registers an email address, verifies an OTP, and saves the key; the free tier includes 100 credits on signup.

    jkawamoto/mcp-youtube-transcript ↗

    Best for: Pulling YouTube transcripts into Goose CLI or Goose Desktop: it exposes four tools for transcripts, timed transcripts, video info, and available languages.

    The server retrieves transcripts for YouTube video URLs, exposing get_transcript, get_timed_transcript, get_video_info, and get_available_languages. Before choosing it, note that using the uvx installation path requires uv to be installed on the system.

    Community favouriteNo change
    ZubeidHendricks/youtube-mcp-server ↗

    Best for: Vetting YouTube creators from video mentions: it exposes creator discovery with subscriber-band and recent-upload filters, plus channel lookups.

    The server exposes 10 MCP tools for YouTube video details and search, transcript retrieval, channel lookup and creator discovery, and playlist retrieval. The main caveat is that it ships as an npm package, with no PyPI package attributed, and transcript language falls back to YOUTUBE_TRANSCRIPT_LANG or en.

    mcp-youtube

    Community favouriteNo change
    kirbah/mcp-youtube ↗

    Best for: Fetching YouTube transcripts without an API key: it exposes getTranscripts and supports a zero-config install for transcript retrieval.

    The server exposes 9 tools for YouTube Data API v3 data: getVideoDetails, searchVideos, getTranscripts, getVideoComments, getChannelStatistics, getChannelTopVideos, getTrendingVideos, getVideoCategories, and findConsistentOutlierChannels. One thing worth knowing before choosing it: search and analytics need a YouTube Data API v3 key, while transcript retrieval can work without one and MongoDB caching needs a connection string.

    Best for: Summarizing a YouTube video from its subtitles: it exposes a single download_youtube_url tool that fetches subtitles for Claude to read.

    The server exposes one tool, download_youtube_url, which downloads subtitles from a YouTube URL so Claude can read them. It assumes yt-dlp is installed locally, for example via Homebrew or WinGet, and is added through mcp-installer under the name @anaisbetts/mcp-youtube.

    YouTube MCP Server

    Community favourite▼ 1
    kevinwatt/yt-dlp-mcp ↗

    Best for: Pulling YouTube transcripts and metadata into an AI agent: it exposes ytdlp_ tools for searching videos, listing subtitle languages, and downloading subtitles.

    It wraps yt-dlp behind MCP, exposing tools prefixed ytdlp_ for searching YouTube, reading video metadata, listing subtitle languages, downloading subtitles in VTT, and saving trimmed video or audio files, with setup documented for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Warp, JetBrains, and Dive. The requirement worth knowing is that yt-dlp must be installed on the machine first (winget, brew, or pip) before the npx server definition will work, since the README lists it as a prerequisite rather than something the npm package provides.

    Best for: Pulling captions from YouTube videos or Shorts into an MCP client: it exposes get_transcript with language fallback, optional timestamps, and ad filtering.

    mcp-server-youtube-transcript exposes get_transcript, which accepts a YouTube URL, Shorts URL, or video ID and returns captions or subtitles, with options for language, timestamps, and filtering sponsorships and ads. Before choosing it, note that it requires Node.js 18 or higher and transcript retrieval depends on captions or subtitles being available for the video.

    yutu

    Community favourite▲ 1
    eat-pray-ai/yutu ↗

    Best for: Automating YouTube channel operations from an agent or a shell: it ships both a CLI and an MCP server for uploads, playlists, comments, and branding.

    yutu is a Go CLI that also runs as an MCP server, covering the workflows its README documents: uploading and optimizing videos, and managing comments, playlists, and channel branding. Before choosing it, note the prerequisite chain it assumes: a Google Cloud project with the YouTube Data API v3 enabled, OAuth desktop-app credentials saved as client_secret.json, and an interactive auth step that writes a token file before other subcommands run.

    Anything-to-NotebookLM

    Abandoned but popular▼ 1
    joeseesun/qiaomu-anything-to-notebooklm ↗

    Best for: Turning a YouTube video into a NotebookLM podcast, slide deck, or mind map: it documents automatic subtitle extraction and NotebookLM upload.

    The README documents a natural-language workflow that accepts WeChat articles, YouTube videos, podcast pages, web pages, documents, images, audio, and archives, extracts or transcribes their content, uploads it to Google NotebookLM, and requests outputs such as podcasts, slide decks, mind maps, quizzes, reports, infographics, or flashcards. One caveat is that setup assumes Python 3.9+, cloning into the Claude skills directory, a one-time NotebookLM login, and optional Get笔记 API credentials for Xiaoyuzhou, Ximalaya, or Bilibili transcription.

    mcp-youtube-transcript

    Abandoned but popular▲ 1
    sinco-lab/mcp-youtube-transcript ↗

    Best for: Pulling a YouTube transcript locally for analysis: it fetches transcript text, timestamped lines and video metadata through an npx or Docker install.

    The README documents get_transcripts for pulling transcript text, with get_transcript as a compatibility alias, get_timed_transcript for one timestamped line per caption segment, and get_video_info for video metadata, configured as a local npx or Docker process for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and other MCP clients. Worth knowing before choosing it: it assumes Node.js 18 or higher on the machine, because transcript requests are made from the local install rather than a remote proxy.

    Best for: Extracting YouTube transcripts and documents without an API key for most sources: it exposes extract_content, plus summarize_content for LLM summaries.

    content-core provides an MCP server that exposes two tools: extract_content for pulling content from URLs, documents, videos, and audio, and summarize_content for LLM-based summaries. Before choosing it, note that summarize_content requires an LLM provider key such as OPENAI_API_KEY, while extract_content does not require an API key for most sources.

    Best for: Scheduling and publishing YouTube content through an agent: it ships an MCP server and CLI for validating, previewing, applying, and inspecting social publishing schedules.

    SocialClaw documents a CLI and an MCP server that connect workspace accounts and handle scheduling, validation, preview, application, and inspection of posts across social platforms including YouTube. One requirement before choosing it: the CLI works against a deployed SocialClaw workspace via API key auth, and an API key alone is not enough because the workspace must also have an active trial or paid plan for agent execution.

Before choosing it, note that process_video consumes the authenticated user's plan minutes and fails with quota_exceeded when the balance is insufficient, and publish_clip needs a connected social profile.

Before installing, note that transcript extraction assumes yt-dlp is present and that the report's summary section requires an LLM provider such as Ollama or a cloud API key, while basic extractive summaries work without one.

    mcptube-vision

    Abandoned but popularNew
    0xchamin/mcptube ↗

    Best for: Building a persistent YouTube knowledge base with visual frame analysis: it ingests videos into a wiki and answers queries via an FTS5-backed agent.

    The README documents a CLI and an MCP server that ingest YouTube videos, extract transcripts and scene-change frames, describe those frames with a vision model, and write a persistent JSON wiki indexed by SQLite FTS5 for agent querying. It assumes ffmpeg and an LLM vision model for ingestion, since scene-change detection and frame description are part of its documented pipeline.
