- `get_cache_stats`: Monitor cache performance
- `clear_cache`: Cache management
- **Transport Layer**: Stdio transport with MCP SDK integration
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error management with structured responses
#### 2. **YouTube Transcript Service**
- **Library**: Uses `youtube-transcript` for reliable extraction
- **Caching**: LRU cache with TTL for performance optimization
- **Rate Limiting**: Built-in delays to prevent API abuse
- **Multi-format Output**: Text, JSON, and SRT subtitle formats
- **URL Parsing**: Handles various YouTube URL formats
- **Error Recovery**: Graceful handling of private/deleted videos
#### 3. **Production-Ready Features**
- **TypeScript**: Full type safety and modern JavaScript features
- **Logging**: Winston-based structured logging
- **Configuration**: Environment variables and config files
- **Docker**: Multi-stage build with security best practices
- **Health Checks**: Container monitoring and diagnostics
- **CLI Interface**: Command-line tool for testing and management
#### 4. **Test Coverage**
- **Unit Tests**: Individual component testing with mocks
- **Integration Tests**: End-to-end workflow validation
- **Error Scenarios**: Comprehensive failure case handling
- **Performance Tests**: Load testing and benchmarking (framework ready)
- **Docker Tests**: Container deployment validation (framework ready)
