- Automatic audio extraction and format conversion
- Cloud-based transcription via WhisperX models
- Temporary file hosting for large files
Installation
Prerequisites
- Python 3.12+
- Conda (recommended for environment management)
Setting Up the Environment
# Create and activate a conda environment
conda create --name mcp_transcribe_online_vids python=3.12
conda activate mcp_transcribe_online_vids
# Install required system packages
conda install conda-forge::uv conda-forge::ffmpeg conda-forge::sqlite
# Install Python dependencies
uv pip install -r requirements.txt
Configuration
-
Copy the
.env.templatefile to.env:cp .env.template .env -
Edit the
.envfile with your credentials:REPLICATE_API_TOKEN: Get from Replicate's API key pageZERO_X_URL: URL for the 0x0.st instance (default: public instance)TEMP_FILE_PATH: Directory for temporary filesLOCAL_FILE_SIZE_LIMIT: Maximum file size in MB for direct API uploads
Usage
Starting the Server
python main.py
Available Tools
get_youtube_transcript(url): Transcribe a YouTube videoget_bilibili_transcript(url): Transcribe a Bilibili video
Example
from fastmcp import MCPClient
import asyncio
async def get_transcript():
client = MCPClient("http://localhost:8000")
async with client:
transcript = await client.call_tool("get_youtube_transcript",
{"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw********"})
print(transcript)
# Run the async function
asyncio.run(get_transcript())
Deployment Options
For deploying the server in production environments, see FastMCP transport options.
To customize the transport, modify the mcp.run() call in main.py.
Self-hosting File Storage
It's highly recommended to host your own instance of 0x0.st for file storage. Follow the hosting instructions to set up your own instance.
Roadmap
- Add tools to retrieve video metadata (title, date, description)
- Add YAML configuration for deployment settings
- Add more file hosting options (Google Cloud, S3)
- Complete local transcription option using WhisperX
- Support for other media sources e.g. Spotify podcasts
