What it does
This server allows an AI to retrieve subtitles and transcripts from YouTube videos. By connecting YouTube's textual data to an LLM, users can summarize long videos, extract key points, or ask specific questions about the video's content without watching the entire clip.
Tools
get_transcript: Fetches the subtitle text for a given YouTube video ID or URL, including timestamps for precise referencing.
