MCP server
Model Context Protocol server for pulling YouTube transcripts inside any MCP-compatible agent.
Repackage runs an MCP server at https://api.repackage.app/mcp so agents like Cursor and Claude Desktop can fetch transcripts as a tool call without you writing a wrapper.
Transport
Streamable HTTP. Single endpoint, POST for requests, GET for server-sent events on long-lived sessions.
POST https://api.repackage.app/mcpAuthentication
OAuth 2.1 with PKCE-S256. The first connection kicks off a browser-based auth flow, you click Allow, and the agent stores the access token. Clients need an OAuth client registered with the Repackage auth server unless dynamic client registration is explicitly enabled for the deployment.
Discovery:
GET https://api.repackage.app/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp
GET https://api.repackage.app/.well-known/oauth-authorization-serverScopes:
transcripts:read— call any of the transcript tools below.library:read— read your saved videos and projects (future).youtube:read— read connected YouTube channel status, saved research, and outliers.youtube:sync— sync connected YouTube channel analytics.
The token resolves to a specific organization, so quotas and plan tier apply exactly like the REST API.
