TranscriptFetch features

  • Single-call transcript. One API call returns the full timestamped transcript for any supported video URL.
  • Channel & playlist fetch. List videos from YouTube channels, TikTok creators or Instagram profiles and fetch their transcripts.
  • Search endpoint. Find videos by keyword across supported platforms and get transcript results.
  • MCP integration. Connect the MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or other agents for on-demand fetching.
  • Automation support. Use n8n, Make, Zapier or HTTP steps to embed transcript fetching in workflows.
  • Batch processing. Fetch many transcripts in a single request, with per-plan rate limits.

Unified MCP Server features

  • Zero-storage architecture. Tool calls fetch data directly from source APIs; no data is cached or stored.
  • Authorization-first access. All tools require explicit customer authorization before they become callable.
  • Bi-directional actions. Agents can read and write data (e.g., update records) where the integration supports it.
  • Unified auth handling. OAuth, API-key flows, token refresh and optional embedded sign-in UI are provided out of the box.
  • Tool discovery controls. Scope available tools to fit model limits and reduce surface area.
  • SDKs & language support. Client SDKs for TypeScript, Python, PHP, Java, C#, Ruby, Go and UI components for React, Vue, Angular, JS.
  • Embedded security boundaries. Each connection defines isolated access, with read/write, object and action restrictions.
  • Virtual & native webhooks. Unlimited webhook subscriptions with virtual polling for systems lacking native webhooks.
