Videos without captions have no transcript to return.\n\n## Install\n\nRun it on demand with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (no install needed):\n\n```bash\nuvx youtube-context-mcp@latest\n```\n\nOr install it:\n\n```bash\npip install youtube-context-mcp\n```\n\n## Use it with an agent\n\nAdd it to your MCP client config:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"youtube-context\": {\n      \"command\": \"uvx\",\n      \"args\": [\"youtube-context-mcp@latest\"]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nOr, in Claude Code:\n\n```bash\nclaude mcp add youtube-context -- uvx youtube-context-mcp@latest\n```\n\n### Running over HTTP\n\nBy default the server talks **stdio** (the client launches it). If your client runs on a\ndifferent host — for example LM Studio on Windows while this server runs in WSL2 — run it as a\nlong-lived HTTP server instead and point the client at a URL:\n\n```bash\nyoutube-c…","publisher":null,"homepage":"https://github.com/realiti4/youtube-context-mcp","repository":"https://github.com/realiti4/youtube-context-mcp","version":"0.6.0","license":"MIT","protocols":["mcp"],"tags":["mcp","metadata","model-context-protocol","subtitles","transcript","youtube"],"pricing":null,"endpoints":[{"url":"pypi:youtube-context-mcp","type":"package_pypi","auth":null,"probeable":false}],"skills":null,"tools":null,"extra":null,"attribution":{"kind":"pypi","name":"pypi","license":"pypi","repoUrl":"pypi","summary":"pypi","version":"pypi","description":"pypi","homepageUrl":"pypi"}},"derived":{"capabilities":[{"slug":"media.video-editing","name":"Video Editing","confidence":1,"provenance":"declared"},{"slug":"media.speech-recognition","name":"Speech Recognition","confidence":1,"provenance":"derived"}],"categories":["media"],"language":"en"},"observed":{"status":"unknown","statusReason":"Distributed as a package to run locally; no network endpoint to check.","lastOkAt":null,"lastProbedAt":null,"statusComputedAt":null,"reliability30d":null,"latestObservations":[],"tools":null,"package":{"name":"youtube-context-mcp","registry":"pypi","observedAt":"2026-10-29T02:26:48.838Z","publishedAt":"2026-06-11T19:46:50.856196Z","latestVersion":"0.6.0"},"toolSurface":null,"endpointFacts":[]},"verification":{"claimed":false,"claimedAt":null,"proofs":[]},"provenance":{"sources":[{"source":"pypi","key":"youtube-context-mcp","url":"https://pypi.org/project/youtube-context-mcp/","firstSeenAt":"2026-09-10T16:23:28.532Z","fetchedAt":"2026-10-29T02:26:06.751Z","normalizedAt":"2026-10-29T02:26:06.751Z"}]},"firstSeenAt":"2026-09-10T16:23:28.532Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-29T02:26:48.838Z"}
