Overview
What is Youtube?
Youtube is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables Claude to fetch and summarize YouTube videos by extracting titles, descriptions, and transcripts. It integrates with Claude Desktop through MCP and is intended for users who want quick, AI‑powered summaries of YouTube content.
How to use Youtube?
To use Youtube, add it to your Claude Desktop configuration (claude_desktop_config.json) with the command npx -y youtube-video-summarizer-mcp. Once integrated, you can ask Claude in natural language to summarize a YouTube video—for example, "Can you summarize this YouTube video for me? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ". The server exposes the MCP command get-video-info-for-summary-from-url to retrieve basic video information.
