youtube-transcript-mcp
Verified Safeby toorop
Overview
Provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for fetching YouTube video transcripts using yt-dlp, designed for integration with AI tools like Claude Desktop and other HTTP clients.
Installation
docker-compose up -d --buildEnvironment Variables
- AUTH_ENABLED
Security Notes
The provided `docker-compose.yml` explicitly sets `AUTH_ENABLED=false`, which disables the server's internal API key authentication. This means the server will be completely unauthenticated by default if deployed with this configuration without an external reverse proxy (e.g., Caddy, Nginx) handling authentication. The README *strongly advises* using a reverse proxy for production security. No direct `eval` or obvious malicious patterns were found in the `server.py` code.
