### Description (declared)

# youty-mcp

Local MCP server that exposes the Youty vault's vector index to any
MCP-compatible AI (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor).

## What it does

Seven tools, hybrid dense + BM25 retrieval over your captured YouTube /
Instagram / TikTok videos, plus joint text → frame retrieval via
Google's SigLIP-Base-Patch16-224 (Apache-2.0). Search runs locally on macOS;
latency depends on model warm-up, hardware, and vault size.

| Tool | Returns |
|---|---|
| `search(query, k=15, platform?, since_iso?)` | hybrid dense + BM25 + RRF over transcript chunks; top-k results with `frame` paths + `video_md_path` |
| `search_frames(query, k=10, platform?)` | SigLIP-Base joint text→image; top-k frame matches with parent video metadata |
| `get_transcript(video_id)` | full `video.md` + parsed frontmatter — the whole video into context |
| `get_video(video_id)` | frontmatter + folder listing + frame paths |
| `view_frames(video_id, frame_ms?, max_frames=6)` | the frame JPEGs themselves, as MCP image content — viewable in **any** client |
| `list_videos(platform?, channel?, limit=100)` | newest-first listing |
| `find_similar(video_id, k=10)` | nearest videos by averaged body-chunk vectors |

**The loop:** `search` finds the relevant moments → `get_transcript` pulls the
words into context → `view_frames` loads the matching frames into the model's
vision. `search` / `search_frames` also return raw frame *paths*, which require
a client with local-file access; `view_frames` returns the images inline, so
the visual half of the loop works in Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Claude Code
alike.

**On-screen text.** `search` covers both what a video *said* and what it
*showed*: each result's `chunk.type` is `body`/`description`/`header` (spoken +
metadata) or **`frame_text`** — text recognized on-screen via on-device OCR
(slides, code, terminal output, labels). A `frame_text` hit means the answer was
visible in the video; pair it with `view_frames` to see that moment.
