  • rip_transcript

    Extract the full transcript from a YouTube video. By default, saves the transcript as a Markdown file to disk and returns a resource_link + metadata (title, channel, language, duration, word count, saved path, preview). The full transcript text is NOT returned by default — this keeps context lean and gives the user a persistent file they can reuse. After calling, always tell the user where the fil

What the publisher says

From the Rippr repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

rippr

YouTube transcript ripper for humans and AI agents.

Website · Chrome Web Store · MCP Server (npm)

Three ways to use rippr

🌐 Website — rippr.me

Paste a YouTube URL, get the transcript. Clean text, no signup.

🧩 Chrome Extension — Chrome Web Store

One-click transcript extraction directly on any YouTube page. Multiple output formats (RAG, JSON, Markdown).

🤖 MCP Server — npm

Connect rippr to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client. Saves each transcript to ~/rippr/transcripts/ and returns the file path to the model.

Desktop clients only. rippr runs as a local stdio process, so it works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code CLI, and Cursor. It does not work with cloud-hosted clients (claude.ai on the web, the Claude mobile app, or Claude Code on phone / web), which can't spawn local processes.

npx rippr-mcp

Add to Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rippr": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "rippr-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Then ask: "Rip this YouTube video: [url]". See mcp/README.md for the full tool surface.

Output formats

  • RAG (.txt) — single continuous text block, optimized for chunking and embedding
  • Structured (.json) — timestamped segments with metadata
  • Readable (.md) — markdown with headers and formatting

How it works

Multi-strategy extraction for maximum reliability:

  1. Innertube API — YouTube's internal player API (Android client)
  2. HTML scraping — parses ytInitialPlayerResponse from page source
  3. Transcript panel — opens YouTube's built-in transcript panel as last resort

Caption XML parsed in multiple formats (srv3, timedtext, JSON3). Retry with exponential backoff on transient failures.

Privacy

Runs entirely on your machine. No data sent to external servers. No accounts, no tracking. Only communicates with YouTube's own APIs.

Runs npx -y rippr-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.
