MCP server for Scribefy — extract YouTube transcripts from Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT custom GPTs, or any other MCP-compatible client.
Live now — set it up in a minute below, or try the web app at scribefy.app.
Why
Most YouTube transcript tools live in browser extensions or one-off web UIs. This wraps Scribefy's API into the MCP standard so your AI assistant can pull a transcript whenever a user pastes a YouTube link — no manual copy-paste, no separate tabs.
Requirements
- Node 20+
- A Scribefy account on the API + MCP plan ($25/mo) for an API key. You can install without a key first — the MCP host registers the server cleanly and you'll get a friendly nudge when you try to use a tool — then add your key from scribefy.app/dashboard to start extracting.
