YouTube Video Data
Retrieve public video metadata, fetch thumbnails, and read authorized transcript files.
TOOL
get_youtube_video_data
Retrieve public video metadata from a YouTube channel or single video through the configured YouTube API integration. Returns metadata and, when requested, top comments sorted by likes.
Example prompt
"Retrieve the last 10 videos from @MrBeast and include top comments"
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | required | YouTube channel URL or video URL |
| video_type | string | both | Type of videos: shorts, videos, or both |
| sort | string | recent | Sort order: recent or popular |
| max_videos | integer | 20 | Maximum videos to retrieve (1-100) |
| include_comments | boolean | false | Include top comments for each video (sorted by likes) |
| max_comments | integer | 100 | Max top comments to return per video when include_comments is true (1-100, default 100). Lower it only if the caller explicitly wants a smaller slice. |
TOOL
get_video_thumbnail
Fetch a YouTube video's thumbnail as an inline image so Claude can actually SEE it — read the text on the thumbnail, describe the visual, judge the style. Tries maxresdefault first, falls back to hqdefault when the higher-res asset doesn't exist.
Example prompt
"Look at this video's thumbnail and describe what makes it click-worthy: https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | null | YouTube video URL (watch, shorts, or youtu.be) or a raw 11-char video ID. Either url or video_id is required. |
| video_id | string | null | Alias for url — accepts a raw 11-char video ID or any video URL. |
TOOL
read_transcript
Fetch transcript text from URLs supplied by the user or obtained from an authorized source. This tool does not discover or extract transcripts from YouTube. Multiple comma-separated URLs are fetched in parallel.
Example prompt
"Read the transcript from this authorized text-file URL"
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| transcript_url | string | required | One or more authorized transcript text-file URLs supplied by the user or another compliant source. Pass a single URL or multiple comma-separated URLs to fetch all in parallel. |
