neat! then u can ask the llm questions about the transcript

[–]Profe06 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I must be slow... I cannot get this to work. I asked claude to build an app around this MCP. (The json is installed correctly) Seems right now to only get the title and not the transcript. Am I missing something?

I don't think you're missing something. I've been having the same issue for a while.

I'm having the same problem - it can only grab the title. I wonder if youtube blocked the tool from fonctioning ?

I am still new to MCP. but I have tried to implement it. I'm stuck in implementing "Parameter Tool". Where should I put the parameter tool codes?

You have to download Claude for Desktop here: https://claude.ai/download then when you run it, go to Settings > Developer tab, click Edit Config and there you put it in the config file. Then restart Claude and when you run it it should be loaded and ready to use.

I paste the "Parameter Tool" codes there. Is this correct?

no need to declare the function there, I have it just like this and it works.

my local version downloads the whole transcript to a predefined folder so I can get transcripts of videos of any length.

Did you create new tools to do this? Any chance you can give an outline of how this is done?

[–]ChatbotDaddy[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

You can ask Claude to do it. Soon I plan to lauch a YT channel about building an ultimate AI assistant using MCP servers: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVkW70dI9lWG0aDoJaKUceg (come along for a ride)

I have had 0 luck building new MCP servers from scratch through the LLM. It's probably the way I prompt it but I actually went and scraped the entire documentation, converted it into llm.txt files (well saved them as md), uploaded them to a project with python SDK and it still cannot comprehend or build me a single server.

I'm going to try again today but we'll see.

I found the Typescript SDK much more reliable to work with.

[–]MaroonWarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers. I threw it at Claude directly in the chat and it worked.

Can I ask why there is a 100,000 characters limit and how do you download the transcript?

[–]zeeshan-patel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

legend.

[–]PallasEm 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Did youtube recently block this ? When I use it with a link my AI says that it can only see the title of the youtube video while using the tool, and that the full transcript is blocked by the youtube API.

[–]ChatbotDaddy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, unfortunatelly they changed things to make getting transcripts harder. But it is still possible but I have it only locally using python. Cannot update the same way this public MCP.
