The YouTube MCP Server utilizes `yt-dlp` to download subtitles from YouTube videos and connects to Claude.ai using the Model Context Protocol.

The YouTube MCP Server is a tool designed to facilitate the extraction and summarization of YouTube video content. By leveraging `yt-dlp`, a popular command-line tool for downloading YouTube videos and their subtitles, this server connects to Claude.ai through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This integration allows users to request summaries of YouTube videos by simply providing the video URL. The server handles the downloading of subtitles and communicates with Claude.ai to generate a concise summary of the video's content. This tool is particularly useful for users who want to quickly understand the essence of a video without watching it in its entirety. The setup requires `yt-dlp` to be installed on the user's system, which can be done easily via package managers like Homebrew or WinGet. Additionally, the server itself can be installed using the `mcp-installer` with the package name `@anaisbetts/mcp-youtube`.
