Fetches complete transcripts from YouTube videos as clean text. Supports any YouTube URL format or video ID, with optional language selection. No signup or API key required.

Example request: "Get the transcript of a YouTube video so I can search for a specific moment or read it instead of watching"

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use YouTube Transcript AI to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://youtube-transcript.ai/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.

Tools:
- get_youtube_transcript: Fetch the full text transcript of a YouTube video. Accepts a YouTube URL (watch, youtu.be, shorts, embed) or a bare 11-character video ID, and returns the transcript as plain text with title and metadata. Optionally pass a BCP-47 language code to select a specific caption track.
