[](https://mseep.ai/app/nabid-pf-youtube-video-summarizer-mcp) # YouTube Video Summarizer MCP Server An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI assistants to analyze and summarize YouTube videos by extracting captions, descriptions, and metadata. ## Features - Extract video captions/subtitles in multiple languages - Retrieve comprehensive video metadata (title, description, duration) - Provide structured data to AI assistants for comprehensive video summarization - Works with any MCP-compatible client through MCP integration - Support for multiple YouTube URL formats - Language-specific caption extraction ## Integrating with MCP Clients To add the MCP server to your MCP client, you can use either method: ### Option 1: Using npx (No Installation Required) Add the following to your MCP client configuration file: ```json { "mcpServers": { "youtube-video-summarizer": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "youtube-video-summarizer-mcp"] } } } ``` The server automatically filters out any npm/npx output to ensure MCP protocol compliance. ### Option 2: Global Installation (Recommended for Production) 1. Install the package globally: ```bash npm install -g youtube-video-summarizer-mcp ``` 2. Add the following to your MCP client configuration file: ```json { "mcpServers": { "youtube-video-summarizer": { "command": "youtube-video-summarizer", "args": [] } } } ``` ## Available Tools When integrated with an MCP client, the following commands become available: - **get-video-info-for-summary-from-url**: Extract video information and captions from a YouTube URL - **get-video-captions**: Get captions/subtitles for a specific video - **get-video-metadata**: Retrieve comprehensive video metadata ## Usage Examples Once integrated with your MCP client, you can use natural language to request video summaries: ``` "Can you summarize this YouTube video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID" "What are the main points from this video's captions?" "Extract the key information from this YouTube link" ``` ## Installation ```bash npm install -g youtube-video-summarizer-mcp ``` ## Development ```bash git clone https://github.com/nabid-pf/youtube-video-summarizer-mcp.git cd youtube-video-summarizer-mcp npm install npm run build ``` ## How It Works 1. **URL Parsing**: Extracts video IDs from various YouTube URL formats 2. **Caption Extraction**: Uses youtube-caption-extractor to get subtitles 3. **Metadata Retrieval**: Fetches video title, description, and other details 4. **MCP Integration**: The Model Context Protocol (MCP) to communicate with AI assistants ## Contributing Contributions are welcome!
