Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Transkrio fetches transcripts and metadata of YouTube videos (regular videos, Shorts, live replays). Use get_transcript when the user wants to summarize, quote, translate, search or analyze what is said in a video. Use list_videos to find the videos of a playlist or channel first. Each successful call costs 1 credit of the user's Transkrio account; failed calls are free.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http transkrio-mcp https://api.transkrio.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add transkrio-mcp --url https://api.transkrio.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable transkrio-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "transkrio-mcp": {
      "url": "https://api.transkrio.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http transkrio-mcp https://api.transkrio.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
