Ctaylor86 Mcp Video Download Server
Wraps yt-dlp for downloading videos from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and 1000+ other platforms, then uploads them to S3-compatible storage and returns public URLs. Exposes five tools: download_video_to_cloud and download_audio_to_cloud for saving content, extract_transcript_to_cloud for pulling subtitles, extract_thumbnail_to_cloud for grabbing preview images, and get_video_metadata for inspecting video details without downloading. Files land in organized folders (videos/, audio/, transcripts/, thumbnails/) in your own R2 or S3 bucket. Optimized for Smithery deployment with one-click setup, but runs locally too if you need it. Reach for this when you're building workflows that need to archive social media content or pull video assets into Claude's context for analysis.
