YouTube Transcript
Fetch YouTube video transcripts reliably and in multiple languages, integrating seamlessly with AI agents and workflow automation tools.
About

Leveraging the robust capabilities of `yt-dlp`, it offers reliable, multi-language transcript fetching. Its unique dual transport support facilitates seamless integration with various clients: it connects with AI agents like Claude Desktop via Server-Sent Events (SSE) and caters to HTTP clients and workflow automation platforms such as n8n via a JSON-RPC 2.0 API. This makes it an invaluable asset for content analysis, summarization, accessibility enhancements, and automated data processing workflows.
