VidWords MCP MCP server

A hosted Model Context Protocol server that enables AI agents to extract YouTube transcripts, search video content with timestamped citations, and analyze on-screen frames such as slides and charts. It provides tools for reading video content without requiring custom integration code or scraping.

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 a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http vidwords-mcp https://vidwords.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 vidwords-mcp --url https://vidwords.com/mcp

Cursor

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

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure). The type must be streamableHttp for a remote HTTP server.
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vidwords-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://vidwords.com/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "vidwords-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://vidwords.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http vidwords-mcp https://vidwords.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.

Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vidwords-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://vidwords.com/mcp"
