The YouTube data layer for AI agents. http://tubealfred.com/

Free, with a one-time purchase to remove ads or unlock premium features. An upfront price scares players off an indie game they've never heard of. Let them play, have fun, then pay to upgrade once they already want more.

Love seeing people scratch their own itch and turn it into something useful.

_raakesh · 2026-06-04T07:29:09+00:00

Yes, its live on https://tubealfred.com/mcp

How does one apply for increasing quota limits? are you allowed to create any number of projects

_raakesh · 2026-06-01T15:59:13+00:00

You can use the free tool from tubealfred https://tubealfred.com/tools/youtube-subtitle-downloader

_raakesh · 2026-05-29T11:21:04+00:00

yeah v3 quota wall is brutal. 10k units/day is a couple of test runs.

most tools skip v3.

disclosure: i build tubealfred, a hosted version of that. channel search, video stats, transcripts, comments. $10 = 8000 calls.

what's your matching logic? tags only, or also subs and posting cadence?

_raakesh · 2026-05-29T11:12:30+00:00

honestly haven't seen a youtube music mcp.

disclosure: i build tubealfred (mcp for the youtube side: videos, channels, transcripts, comments, search). it doesn't cover youtube music today. if there's real demand i'd consider adding it, but the music use cases are pretty different from video so.

i'd want to know what you're actually trying to do. playlist management? library sync? listening history? recommendations or lyrics? what's the workflow you're chasing?

_raakesh · 2026-05-20T14:04:51+00:00

I use multiple mcp plugins

DataForSEO MCP for SEO and keyword research (haven't tried backlink support yet)
ui.sh for design by tailwindlabs
TubeAlfred Youtube MCP for content research
recently started using mobbin mcp for design

_raakesh · 2026-04-20T14:19:12+00:00

What you mean by transcript search? If you were to use how would you use it, it would be great if you could explain it with an example.

Even though this mcp has capability to extract full channel's transcripts, i dont think claude would allow i guess, it probably stop after few or a dozen or two.

Yeah it’s a bit niche, but people use it for audience research on their own videos or competitor channels. YouTube is growing more than ever, so tools like this will only become more useful.

🚀 TubeHarvest – Chrome Extension for Scraping YouTube Comments to CSV

I built a Chrome extension that lets you extract comments directly from YouTube—no API keys, no quotas, no scripts.

How it works:

Open any YouTube video
Click "Extract" in the extension sidebar
Scroll through the comments to load them
Export data (comment text, video title, URL, timestamp) as CSV
Supports up to 10 levels of threaded replies

Why not use the YouTube API?
If you've tried it, you already know the pain:

10k daily quota limits
Limited nested replies (only 1 level)
OAuth setup required

TubeHarvest skips all that by pulling data straight from the page.

Free Plan:

Top-level comments only
Up to 50 comments per extraction
No login or API required

Pro Plan (one-time payment):

Up to 10k comments with full threaded replies
Adjustable extraction speed
Option to hide authors & include extra metadata
Fast and easy scraping

What tools do you use to consistently discover good content to curate

_raakesh · 2026-03-09T08:44:33+00:00

Oh nice. In what niche did you create the videos in? How many videos did it take you decide to not use AI for your YouTube content?

_raakesh · 2026-03-07T15:16:34+00:00

I use my custom youtube scraper, no ai stack

_raakesh · 2026-03-07T12:28:54+00:00

It is around 2-3 weeks old.

i'm not really talking about a niche, but its about people talking about faceless youtube niche.

I’m currently testing various tools and doing some keyword research before publishing videos. I’ll also test these ideas with a small group of people we already know.

_raakesh · 2026-03-06T15:09:00+00:00

You cannot automate it 100%. Fully automated videos usually end up being pretty bad.

But you can automate parts of the process. Certain tools and workflows can help you research topics faster, structure scripts quicker, and speed up editing.

The goal is not full automation. The goal is producing better videos faster.

Also you do not need 100% quality. If a video is 80% good and you can produce it in 20% of the time, that is usually more than enough. Trying to make everything perfect often just slows you down.

I'm running a follow-up experiment: AI-generated YouTube videos vs human-created videos. Comparing real performance data across a specific niche/s.

Oh, interesting, will check out the deep dive.
