YouTube Transcript + YouTube Search is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 6 tools, among them get_channel_latest_videos, get_youtube_transcript, list_channel_videos. It answers at https://getyoutubetranscript.com/api/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 5 of 5 times since 13 September 2026; the last check, on 19 October 2026, succeeded.
YouTube transcripts, search, channel browsing, and playlists for AI agents via MCP.
Description as the publisher wrote it.

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://getyoutubetranscript.com/api/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
