Installation
npx @kimtaeyoon83/mcp-server-youtube-transcriptSecurity Notes
The server's core logic for fetching transcripts directly interacts with YouTube's internal API via HTTPS. Input parameters are validated. There are no obvious hardcoded secrets, 'eval' usage, or obfuscation. Error handling is implemented for network issues and invalid inputs. The primary risk is the inherent reliance on YouTube's undocumented internal API, which could change and break functionality, but this does not expose direct security vulnerabilities to the user running the server.
