🎬 Why

Everyone who works with an agent has run this exchange at least once.

You:   Summarize this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCc8FmEb1nY
Agent: I'm not able to watch videos. If you paste the transcript here, I'll gladly help!

The transcript is precisely the thing the agent cannot get on its own. With this server connected, the same message simply resolves.

You:   Summarize this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCc8FmEb1nY
Agent: → get_transcript(video="kCc8FmEb1nY", video_metadata=true)      1 credit

       That's "Let's build GPT: from scratch, in code, spelled out" by Andrej
       Karpathy, 1:56:20. He starts from an empty file and a bigram model,
       derives self-attention step by step, and ends with a working GPT that...

Reading one video is rarely where the job ends. Here is how the three ways of getting YouTube data into an agent actually compare.

	This server	Local yt-dlp / scraper MCP	Google YouTube Data API
Transcripts	✅ any public video, 5 formats	⚠️ blocked on datacenter IPs, breaks when YouTube changes markup	❌ not served at all
Setup	✅ a URL and an API key	❌ local install, binaries to keep alive	❌ Cloud project, OAuth consent screens
YouTube search	✅ native, 1 credit per page	❌	⚠️ 100 quota units per search
Channels & playlists	✅ 100 videos/page, or 500 bare IDs	❌ one video at a time	⚠️ quota-metered per item
Bulk transcripts	✅ 4,000 per background job	❌	❌
RAG-ready chunking	✅ 20-5,000 chars, word-level timestamps	❌	❌
When YouTube changes	✅ fixed server-side, nothing to update	❌ you patch and redeploy	✅
Failed calls	✅ credits refund themselves	❌ your retry logic	⚠️ quota spent anyway
