Repackage Docs
Programmatic access to YouTube transcripts via REST API and MCP.
Repackage exposes its transcript engine in two flavours.
REST API
A small, stateless HTTP API. Hit it from any backend, script, CI job, or LLM tool that can make a request.
GET /transcript— single video metadata + segmentsGET /transcript/raw— single video as plain textPOST /transcripts/bulk— many videos in one call (Pro)GET /playlists/:id/transcripts— every video in a playlist (Pro)GET /channels/:id/transcripts— recent uploads from a channel (Pro)
Authenticated with an organization-scoped Bearer key.
MCP server
A Model Context Protocol server that lets agents (Cursor, Claude Desktop, custom MCP clients) pull transcripts as a tool call without you writing a wrapper.
Authenticated with OAuth 2.1.
