YouTube transcript ripper for humans and AI agents.
Website · Chrome Web Store · MCP Server (npm)
Paste a YouTube URL, get the transcript. Clean text, no signup.
One-click transcript extraction directly on any YouTube page. Multiple output formats (RAG, JSON, Markdown).
Connect rippr to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client. Saves each transcript to ~/rippr/transcripts/ and returns the file path to the model.
Desktop clients only. rippr runs as a local stdio process, so it works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code CLI, and Cursor. It does not work with cloud-hosted clients (claude.ai on the web, the Claude mobile app, or Claude Code on phone / web), which can't spawn local processes.
npx rippr-mcp
Add to Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"rippr": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "rippr-mcp"]
}
}
}
Then ask: "Rip this YouTube video: [url]". See mcp/README.md for the full tool surface.
Multi-strategy extraction for maximum reliability:
ytInitialPlayerResponse from page sourceCaption XML parsed in multiple formats (srv3, timedtext, JSON3). Retry with exponential backoff on transient failures.
Runs entirely on your machine. No data sent to external servers. No accounts, no tracking. Only communicates with YouTube's own APIs.
