Deepak Pant Maker Pinned on this launch

I built this because getting YouTube transcripts into code and AI tools was harder than it should be: the official API does not return captions for videos you do not own. Try the MCP server in Claude or Cursor and ask it to summarise a video. Feedback on the API welcome.

About GetYouTubeTranscript

GetYouTubeTranscript turns YouTube videos into text. Paste a link for a free transcript with no sign-up, or use the REST API for transcripts with video metadata, YouTube search, playlist videos and channel ID lookups, no Google API key needed. It also runs as a remote MCP server so Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can read YouTube directly, plus an n8n node and a Chrome extension. Free plan: 100 credits, no card.

Thanks, glad the MCP angle lands well! On the bot-wall question: we handle that on our end so it doesn't reach the caller, our uptime has stayed solid at volume. Can't go into the specifics of how, that's the part we keep close. On partnering, appreciate the offer, best place for that is our contact page (getyoutubetranscript.com/contact) so it reaches the right person directly.

Shipping it as a remote MCP server is the right call, asking Claude to summarize a video without copying captions around is exactly the workflow I want. How does the API hold up when YouTube starts answering cloud IPs with its sign in to confirm you're not a bot page? That wall is where most transcript tools break at volume. We run HProxy, and we'd love to partner and feature GetYouTubeTranscript on our side.
