go_mcp_server_youtube_search

This MCP server provides three tools for interacting with YouTube data via the MCP protocol: youtube_search to search for videos by query, youtube_get_video_info to fetch detailed metadata for a specific video by its ID, and youtube_get_subtitles to retrieve subtitles in English or Russian for a given video. The server defaults to Server-Sent Events (sse) mode and can be accessed at the provided URL: http://localhost:8889/sse. You can also run it in stdio mode for local development and testing by switching the mode with the -t flag (e.g., -t stdio). Once running, you can invoke these tools through an MCP-compatible client to perform queries, retrieve video details, and fetch subtitles as part of your AI workflows.

Prerequisites:

• Go installed on your system (go1.x+)
• Git (optional, for cloning the repository)

Installation steps:

1. Clone or download the repository: git clone https://github.com/your-org/go_mcp_server_youtube_search.git cd go_mcp_server_youtube_search
2. Build the executable: go build -o go_mcp_server_youtube_search
3. Run the server (default sse mode): ./go_mcp_server_youtube_search -t sse -h 0.0.0.0 -p 8889
4. Verify it's running by visiting or curling the endpoint: curl http://localhost:8889/sse

Tips:

• If you prefer stdio mode for local testing, run: ./go_mcp_server_youtube_search -t stdio
• Ensure the port 8889 is open on your machine or adjust with -p flag as needed.

Notes and tips:

• The server exposes three tools: youtube_search, youtube_get_video_info, and youtube_get_subtitles (English/Russian).
• In sse mode, you can stream responses to MCP clients that support Server-Sent Events.
• If subtitles are unavailable for a video, the tool may return an empty result or an appropriate error message.
• You can adjust host/port with -h and -p flags to fit your deployment environment.
• Ensure your environment allows outgoing requests to YouTube services as the server fetches data from YouTube APIs.
