Three ways to use rippr
🌐 Website — rippr.me
Paste a YouTube URL, get the transcript. Clean text, no signup.
🧩 Chrome Extension — Chrome Web Store
One-click transcript extraction directly on any YouTube page. Multiple output formats (RAG, JSON, Markdown).
🤖 MCP Server — npm
Connect rippr to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client. Saves each transcript to ~/rippr/transcripts/ and returns the file path to the model.
Desktop clients only. rippr runs as a local stdio process, so it works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code CLI, and Cursor. It does not work with cloud-hosted clients (claude.ai on the web, the Claude mobile app, or Claude Code on phone / web), which can't spawn local processes.
