Lection

Lection MCP server

A hosted (remote) Model Context Protocol server for Lection, a tool that turns web pages into structured tables and exports them to CSV, Excel, Google Sheets or a webhook on a schedule.

• Endpoint: https://www.lection.app/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
• Nothing to install, no API key for the public YouTube tools.
• Account tools use OAuth 2.1 (Supabase). Protected-resource metadata: https://www.lection.app/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource

Tools

Public (no sign-in, results capped at 20 rows, official YouTube Data API):

Tool	What it does
youtube_search	Search YouTube videos by keyword: title, channel, views, date, URL.
youtube_channel_videos	Latest uploads of a channel by @handle or URL.
youtube_comments	Top-level comments of a public video: author, text, likes, replies, date.
lection_browser_tools_info	How to export Instagram comments/followers or LinkedIn connections with Lection (those sites need a login, so they run in the Lection browser extension).
