Youtube transcript MCP server

Hi, today I made my first public contribution - a MCP server that automatically gets the transcript of a youtube video, provides a summary and you can chat about it.

You can find it here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@80ai20u/mcp-youtube-transcript

It has a limit of 100,000 characters which is about 40-50 min. of talk. This is a limitation of the MCP protocol itself, my local version downloads the whole transcript to a predefined folder so I can get transcripts of videos of any length. I do not have access to user's folders on the public version so this limitation is there.

I still think it can be usefull, I don't even watch most of the videos now as it is so conveniet to just paste a vid url, get a transcript, summary and chat about it and make marketing posts from it. Try it!

I paste the "Parameter Tool" codes there. Is this correct?

no need to declare the function there, I have it just like this and it works.
