A FastAPI-based MCP server that provides YouTube video metadata and transcripts as a tool for Cursor and other MCP clients.
The YouTube MCP Server is a FastAPI-based application designed to provide metadata and transcripts for YouTube videos. It serves as a tool for Cursor and other MCP clients, allowing them to fetch detailed information about YouTube videos through a single endpoint. The server is capable of retrieving video titles, descriptions, authors, publish dates, view counts, tags, and thumbnails. Additionally, it can fetch transcripts in English, with a fallback to Arabic if English is unavailable. The server is built with robust error handling to ensure reliable metadata and transcript retrieval. It requires Python 3.10+ and several dependencies, including FastAPI, yt-dlp, and youtube-transcript-api. The server can be easily integrated with MCP clients by configuring the client's tool list to point to the server's endpoint.
