MCP support

A remote server on Apify's hosted MCP service exposes TubeText Actors as tools to MCP clients. Connect using OAuth with an Apify account or an Apify API token.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

TubeText MCP servers

Remote MCP servers that give Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT and any other MCP client access to TubeText tools: video transcripts, comment sentiment, AI video breakdowns, esports match timelines, ad library data, e-commerce prices, reviews, China data and travel prices.

There is nothing to install or host. Each server is a URL on Apify's hosted MCP server (mcp.apify.com) that exposes a small, focused set of TubeText Actors as tools. You sign in with your own Apify account (OAuth) or pass your Apify API token. Usage is billed under each Actor's current Store pricing and your Apify plan. Review billable events and any optional AI processing before running a tool.

Choose a bundle by task

Use these routes when you know the result you need, rather than an Actor name. Links open the existing bundle definitions; connect with the matching server URL and client instructions.

  • Research channels or Shorts: YouTube bundle. Channel Analytics and Social Blade provide creator statistics; Shorts metadata and optional transcripts are separate outputs.
  • Find competitor video ads: Ad Intelligence. Meta Ad Library and Google Ads Transparency discover ads; video and shot analysis are separate tools. Ad presence or time running is not evidence of spend, conversions or ROAS.
  • Turn episodes or social videos into text: Social Video Transcripts. Choose Podcast Transcript for RSS/Apple Podcasts, or Any Video & Podcast Transcript for its documented mixed-source/direct-media inputs. Public video speech is not tweet, Reddit-comment or private-content scraping; not every URL is supported.
  • Research Chinese-language sources: China Data. Bilibili discovery and speech transcription are separate Actors. WeChat covers public Official Account articles, not private chats; trending boards are snapshots, not a historical trend database.
  • Build a product or supplier shortlist: E-commerce Prices for marketplace listings; China Data for Alibaba/Yiwu supplier search from a product photo. Visual similarity does not verify the manufacturer or identical goods.
  • Analyze customer-review themes: Reviews + AI Insights groups Steam, Google Play and Agoda-displayed hotel reviews. Booking.com-sourced reviews displayed by Agoda do not imply direct Booking.com scraping. AI summaries describe the retrieved sample, not every customer.
  • Build a travel or fuel-price dashboard: Travel & Local Prices. Keep dates, currency, fuel grade and source-update timestamps with each comparison. Returned prices are observations, not guaranteed booking or pump prices.

Before calling an Actor, inspect its current input schema and Pricing tab, agree on the input/count and budget, and check Actor Start and optional-processing charges. A bundle definition or directory listing does not verify live tool availability or runtime health.

Looking for Spotify play counts? Use the existing Spotify Actor directly in Apify. It is not included in the MCP bundles listed here.

Start with a bounded YouTube use case

Before any paid test, list the available tools and inspect the current input schema for tubetext/youtube-transcript-fast. Connecting or seeing a directory listing does not establish that an Actor run will succeed. If a requested tool is absent, stop and check the selected bundle instead of silently substituting another Actor.

For a first captions-only task, ask:

Get the existing captions for this one public YouTube video: . Set aiFallback to false; do not enable AI transcription or run other Actors. Return the transcript with source timestamps, or explain the unsuccessful status without inventing missing text. Show the planned input and cost limit before starting.

AI fallback is enabled by default in the YouTube Actor, so set aiFallback: false explicitly for captions-only work. This does not make the run free. After retrieval, retain the run ID, dataset ID and original export before using the text downstream. For a channel-to-RAG workflow, use the replay-safe caption inbox example, which includes synthetic offline tests rather than a live-service benchmark.

For the workflow overview and recovery checklist, read the YouTube transcript RAG guide.

Example prompts

  • "Get the transcript of this TikTok and break down its hook and shot list: "
  • "Break down this ad shot by shot and show where viewers replayed or commented: "
  • "Transcribe the last 10 videos on this YouTube channel and summarize the main topics."
  • "Which moments of this YouTube video did viewers react to, and how did the top comments feel about them? "
  • "Give me the round-by-round score timeline of this Valorant match VOD: "
  • "Pull Nike's active video ads from Meta Ad Library and tell me which angles they test."
  • "List Duolingo's YouTube video ads in the US from Google Ads Transparency and how long each has run."
  • "Get the last 30 Shorts of @MrBeast with views and what is said in the first 3 seconds."
  • "Compare prices for this product on Idealo in Germany, France and Italy."
  • "What do Steam players complain about most in the recent reviews of ?"

Costs and safety

  • Actor calls can incur charges. Check the selected Actor's live Pricing tab: skipping a transcript or analysis event does not guarantee a zero-cost run. Actor Start, data-fetch events, optional AI work or other charges may still apply.
  • Agree on a budget before starting, not just for large jobs. Inspect the current tool schema for supported run limits. For Apify's generic call-actor tool, limits such as maxTotalChargeUsd belong in callOptions, not in the Actor input (official reference). Do not assume every Actor wrapper exposes the same fields or that a run limit caps downstream model, storage or integration costs.
  • Apify authentication is required for ordinary account-billed runs. These public-data workflows do not require you to provide a social-network login or cookies. Never paste API tokens into prompts, public issues or committed files.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
