MCP YouTube Extract is a comprehensive server application that leverages the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to facilitate YouTube data extraction. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with YouTube's API, allowing users to retrieve detailed video information and transcripts. The server is built with robust error handling and logging capabilities, ensuring reliable performance and easy debugging. Available as a package on PyPI, it supports both manual and auto-generated transcripts, making it versatile for various use cases. The server can be installed and run using standard Python package management tools, and it includes a development setup for those who prefer to work with the source code. With a focus on security, the application requires a YouTube API key, which can be configured via environment variables. The project is open-source, licensed under MIT, and welcomes contributions from the community.
