An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables Claude to fetch and summarize YouTube videos by extracting titles, descriptions, and transcripts.
YouTube Video Summarizer MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to work with Claude Desktop. It allows Claude to access and summarize YouTube videos by extracting their titles, descriptions, and transcripts.
To use this project, you need to integrate the MCP server with Claude Desktop. This involves adding a specific configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json
file. Once integrated, you can use natural language commands within Claude to request video summaries, such as "Can you summarize this YouTube video for me?" followed by the video URL.
For developers, the project can be built from source by cloning the repository, installing dependencies with npm install
, and building the project with npm run build
. You can then start the inspector using npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js
.
