youtube-fetcher-to-markdown

제작: JimmySadek · JimmySadek/youtube-fetcher-to-markdown

Turn any YouTube URL into a queryable Markdown note — YAML frontmatter, chapters, full transcript, Obsidian-ready.

JimmySadek/youtube-fetcher-to-markdown converts YouTube videos into structured Markdown in ~/yt_transcripts/. Accepts URLs in any format. Options: --timestamps (temporal markers), --lang (caption language), --format (json / srt), --source (project tag). Output includes YAML frontmatter (title, channel, id, date, duration, language), full description with links, chapter timestamps, and transcript. Frontmatter lets Obsidian Dataview query your entire transcript library.

      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config 열기. 저장 후 앱 재시작.

    }
  }
}

Cursor는 Claude Desktop과 동일한 mcpServers 스키마 사용. 프로젝트 설정이 전역보다 우선.

      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cline 사이드바의 MCP Servers 아이콘 클릭 후 "Edit Configuration" 선택.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{

      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop과 같은 형식. Windsurf 재시작 후 적용.

~/.continue/config.json
{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "youtube-fetcher-to-markdown-skill",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [

        "~/.claude/skills/youtube-fetcher-to-markdown"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue는 맵이 아닌 서버 오브젝트 배열 사용.

  "context_servers": {

          "~/.claude/skills/youtube-fetcher-to-markdown"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

context_servers에 추가. 저장 시 Zed가 핫 리로드.

claude mcp add youtube-fetcher-to-markdown-skill -- git clone https://github.com/JimmySadek/youtube-fetcher-to-markdown ~/.claude/skills/youtube-fetcher-to-markdown

한 줄 명령. claude mcp list로 확인, claude mcp remove로 제거.

흐름
  1. Fetch a playlist's transcripts
    youtube-fetcher-to-markdown — fetch every video in playlist <URL>, include timestamps, source=cs-course.✓ 복사됨

Free — skills are local files
For very long videos, use JSON export + snippet extraction instead of loading full transcripts into context.

보안

자격 증명 저장: No credentials — pure prompts
데이터 외부 송신: Fetches from YouTube. No data leaves your machine afterward.

문제 해결

자주 발생하는 오류와 해결

Skill not invoked — Claude summarizes without fetching

Say 'fetch the transcript using youtube-fetcher-to-markdown' explicitly.

확인: ls ~/.claude/skills/youtube-fetcher-to-markdown/SKILL.md
SKILL.md frontmatter wrong

Re-clone; description drives activation.

확인: head ~/.claude/skills/youtube-fetcher-to-markdown/SKILL.md
Wrong trigger keywords — transcript has no timestamps

Pass --timestamps explicitly in the prompt.
