An official MCP server provided by TranscriptOut that enables AI agents to interact with the YouTube Transcript API. It supports 14 tools for listing videos from channels or playlists, extracting transcripts in various formats (text, SRT, VTT, XML), searching for videos, and managing bulk transcript jobs. The server handles authentication and allows agents to sign up and obtain API keys directly within the chat interface.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http transcriptout-mcp https://api.transcriptout.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
