Tools (24)
Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].
corpus_addFetch a video's transcript, chunk it, and store local embeddings in an existing corpus. Use this after `corpus_create`; it skips an already-indexed video by default. `force_reembed=true` deletes and replaces that video's existing local chunks and vectors. This modifies local corpus data and may contact YouTube; returns indexing status and chunk count.
corpus_createCreate a named corpus for semantic search over transcripts. Each corpus uses a fixed embedding model.
corpus_deleteDelete a corpus and all its chunks/vectors permanently.
corpus_listList all available corpora with chunk and video counts.
corpus_searchSemantic search within a corpus. Deduplicates overlapping windows, limits source domination, and returns titles plus timestamp URLs.
research_artifact_exportExport a stored user research artifact as JSON or a corpus coding-row CSV without changing or interpreting it.
research_artifact_getRead a locally stored user research artifact revision. Generated fields remain clearly separate from original source evidence.
research_artifact_saveAppend a new local revision containing only fields authored by the user or client agent. Requires an expected revision and validates source references without judging research correctness.
research_artifacts_listList locally stored user research artifacts attached to one video or corpus target.
research_scaffold_createCreate a local scaffold for one video/transcript or corpus. Auto-fills only observable machine fields, including video and channel context; all semantic and research fields remain empty for the client agent.
research_templates_listList optional user-fillable research scaffold templates. Tube Bridge supplies schemas and source bindings but does not perform the research.
tube_bridge_helpGet tube-bridge documentation: available tools, architecture, known limitations, API key setup.
tube_bridge_statusConnect to the package-relative public tube-bridge runtime and report discovered tools.
youtube_get_available_languagesAvailable subtitle languages for a video. Shows manual vs auto-generated.
youtube_get_channel_infoDetailed channel metadata: subscribers, views, videos, country, keywords. Requires YOUTUBE_API_KEY.
Show 9 more tools
youtube_get_channel_videosList up to `limit` recent uploads from a known YouTube channel URL or @handle. Use this for channel browsing, not keyword search or channel metadata. Read-only and keyless; returns normalized channel metadata plus video records. Empty results include a warning when the channel is missing or has no uploads.
youtube_get_commentsRetrieve up to `max_results` top-level comments for a known YouTube video. Use this for audience reactions, not video metadata or transcripts. Read-only and requires `YOUTUBE_API_KEY`; returns structured comment records. Calls may fail when comments are disabled, the video is unavailable, or Data API quota is exhausted.
youtube_get_frameExtract one ephemeral JPEG near an integer-millisecond timestamp. Returns metadata plus MCP ImageContent; accuracy is best-effort at a decoded frame boundary.
youtube_get_playlistList up to `limit` videos from a known YouTube playlist URL in upstream order. Use this for playlist contents, not channel uploads or keyword search. Read-only and keyless; returns playlist metadata plus ordered video records. Results are bounded and may fail when the playlist is private, unavailable, or blocked upstream.
youtube_get_transcriptTranscript/subtitles of a YouTube video. Uses the original/default language; manual > ASR within that language.
youtube_get_trendingList up to `limit` currently trending YouTube videos. Use this for broad discovery, not keyword search. Read-only; uses Data API v3 when `YOUTUBE_API_KEY` is set and otherwise a keyless yt-dlp fallback. Returns source metadata and video records; results can change over time and depend on upstream availability.
youtube_get_video_infoDetailed metadata for a YouTube video: title, duration, views, channel, description, tags.
youtube_searchSearch YouTube videos. Uses Data API v3 when YOUTUBE_API_KEY is set, falls back to yt-dlp. Filters: date range, channel, duration, order.
youtube_search_channelsSearch YouTube channels by name/topic. Returns subscriber counts, video counts, country. Requires YOUTUBE_API_KEY.
