Overview

What is TubePull?

TubePull is a hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets an AI assistant download video or audio files to disk from ten supported platforms: YouTube, TikTok, Twitter/X, Vimeo, Twitch, Streamable, Dailymotion, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and Mixcloud. It’s designed for users of MCP-compatible AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) who want to save media by speaking a natural-language command.

How to use TubePull?

Configure your MCP client to point at the remote endpoint https://tubepull.com/mcp. For Claude Desktop, add a "url": "https://tubepull.com/mcp" entry in claude_desktop_config.json under the server name "tubepull". Then ask the assistant to download a video or audio track using a URL from a supported platform.

FAQ from TubePull

Which platforms does TubePull support?

YouTube, TikTok, Twitter/X, Vimeo, Twitch, Streamable, Dailymotion, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and Mixcloud. Playlists, sets, albums, channels, and profile pages are not supported – use single video/track URLs only.

Is there a free tier and what are its limits?

Yes. The free/anonymous tier allows 3 downloads per 24 hours per MCP client. The Unlimited tier ($3.99/month) removes this cap, unlocks 1440p and 4K video, and allows videos longer than 2 hours.

How does the download work?

The download_video tool returns a signed one‑time download link valid for 1 hour. The assistant presents the link to the user, who clicks it to receive the file.

What are the audio format rules for SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and Mixcloud?

These platforms have no video stream. Passing format: "mp4" silently coerces to m4a (audio). Pass format: "mp3" for MP3 output. The smart alias "audio" resolves to M4A with no server‑side transcode.

How can I verify the server is live?

Send a POST request to https://tubepull.com/mcp with a JSON‑RPC initialize payload. A successful response will contain serverInfo.name == "tubepull" and other details.
