YouTube Transcript
Fetch the full transcript of any YouTube video and turn it into whatever the user needs — summaries, blog posts, social content, quotes, show notes, or raw text.
Requirements
- Hyper MCP installed. https://app.hyperfx.ai/mcp
- YouTube toolkit enabled at https://app.hyperfx.ai/integrations — provides
youtube_transcriptandyoutube_reader.
If youtube_transcript is not in the tool list, stop and tell the user to enable the YouTube toolkit in Hyper.
Two tools — pick the right one
| Tool | When to use | Returns |
|---|---|---|
youtube_transcript |
You need the raw transcript text or timestamped segments. Fast, reliable, always get this first. | Full text string + segments with start/duration timestamps |
youtube_reader |
You need AI-powered extraction from the video — summaries, Q&A, topic segmentation, translation, visual descriptions. | Free-form answer to your instruction |
Default: start with youtube_transcript. Use youtube_reader when you need something the raw text can't give you (e.g. visual descriptions, translation, or a structured extraction from a very long video).
