# YouTube Transcript MCP Server
A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server
that fetches transcripts and metadata from YouTube videos directly into your LLM workflows.
Designed specifically for AI agents, it seamlessly handles long-form videos through automatic pagination
and provides robust proxy support to circumvent YouTube rate limits and IP bans.
## Key Features
- **Rich Transcript Retrieval**: Fetch raw text, timestamped segments, and video metadata in multiple languages.
- **Smart Chunking & Pagination**: Automatically chunks long transcripts (default: 50,000 characters) to prevent context
window overflow, letting models page through hours of video effortlessly.
- **Resilient Proxy Support**: Built-in support for residential proxies (Webshare, ScrapingAnt)
and standard HTTP/HTTPS proxies to prevent IP blocks.
- **Universal Compatibility**: Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, LM Stud Read full README on GitHub → Get the weekly AgentRank digest
