Downloads YouTube subtitles using yt-dlp and connects them to claude.ai via Model Context Protocol.
YouTube connects yt-dlp to claude.ai via the Model Context Protocol, enabling users to summarize YouTube videos by asking Claude, "Summarize the YouTube video <<URL>>". It requires a local installation of yt-dlp, which can be easily set up using package managers like Homebrew or WinGet. Users can specify the YouTube video URL and an optional language code for the subtitles, defaulting to Japanese. The tool then retrieves the subtitles and makes them available for use with Claude.
