Youtube and download their transcripts for research purposes.\n\n### How it works\n* A MCP server trigger is used and connected to 3 custom workflow tools: Youtube Search, Youtube Transcripts and Usage Reports.\n* Both Youtube tools use an external scraping service called [APIFY.com](https://www.apify.com?fpr=414q6). This is my preference as it's a much simpler interface and there are no rate limits.  \n* The Youtube Search fetches 10 results based on the user's query.\n* The Youtube Transcripts downloads the subtitles from one or more given urls.\n* The usage reports pulls in your monthly [APIFY.com](https://www.apify.com?fpr=414q6) monthly spending and limits as a way to check your account.\n\n### How to use\n* This Apify Youtube MCP server allows any compatible MCP client to research youtube videos for any desired topic. An Apify account is required however to connect and use the service.\n* Connect your MCP client by following the n8n guidelines here - https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.mcptrigger/#integrating-with-claude-desktop\n* Alternatively, connect any n8n AI agent with the MCP client tool.\n* Try the following queries in your MCP client:\n  * \"what is MCP?\"\n  * \"How can I use MCP in n8n?\"\n  * \"How can I use Apify's official MCP server?\"\n\n### Requirements\n* [APIFY.com](https://www.apify.com?fpr=414q6) for Youtube Scraping. This is a paid service but there is a $5 free tier which is ample for this template.\n* MCP Client or Agent for usage such as Claude Desktop - https://claude.ai/download\n\n### Customising this workflow\n* Add as many [APIFY.com](https://www.apify.com?fpr=414q6) actors as required for your use-case or users. Consider using Apify's official MCP server for 4000+ available tools.\n* Remember to set the MCP server to require credentials before going to production and sharing this MCP server with others!"}, "typeVersion": 1}, {"id": "e11a8af0-0a53-4b9b-a499-4bbd956858f8", "name": "Sticky Note4", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [260, -360], "parameters": {"width": 280, "height": 240, "content": "[![](https://d2gdx5nv84sdx2.cloudfront.net/uploads/35gj8m4w/marketing_asset/banner/13734/Large_rectangle_336x280_Light__1_.png)](https://www.apify.com?fpr=414q6)"}, "typeVersion": 1}], "pinData": {}, "connections": {"Operation": {"main": [[{"node": "Apify Youtube Search", "type": "main", "index": 0}], [{"node": "Apify Youtube Transcripts", "type": "main", "index": 0}], [{"node": "Get Usage Metrics", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Usage Report": {"ai_tool": [[{"node": "Apify Youtube MCP Server", "type": "ai_tool", "index": 0}]]}, "Youtube Search": {"ai_tool": [[{"node": "Apify Youtube MCP Server", "type": "ai_tool", "index": 0}]]}, "Get Usage Limits": {"main": [[{"node": "Simplify Usage Metrics", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Get Usage Metrics": {"main": [[{"node": "Get Usage Limits", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Youtube Transcripts": {"ai_tool": [[{"node": "Apify Youtube MCP Server", "type": "ai_tool", "index": 0}]]}, "Apify Youtube Search": {"main": [[{"node": "Simplify Search Results", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Simplify Search Results": {"main": [[{"node": "Aggregate Search Results", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Apify Youtube Transcripts": {"main": [[{"node": "Simplify Transcript Results", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Simplify Transcript Results": {"main": [[{"node": "Aggregate Transcript Results", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "When Executed by Another Workflow": {"main": [[{"node": "Operation", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}}}
