TubeAlfred

TubeAlfred gives Claude read-only access to public YouTube data — with no Google Cloud project, API quota, or OAuth consent screen to configure. 35 tools cover: • Transcripts — caption text with timestamps, in any available language, manual or auto-generated • Comments and replies — full threads with author, engagement, timestamp, and pagination fields • Videos — title, description, keywords, view and like counts, duration, chapters, category, live status, and related videos • Channels — profile, about, videos, Shorts, live streams, playlists, and community posts • Playlists — metadata and ordered contents, paginated to any depth • Search — queries with filters, hashtag results, autocomplete suggestions, and trending listings • Utilities — resolve any YouTube URL, plus batch lookups for up to 50 videos or channels at once Typical uses: summarise or quote a video from what is actually said in it; find out what an audience is asking for in the comments; inventory a course or playlist; audit a video's discoverability for a target search; compare how several channels cover the same topic. Credits are shared across every TubeAlfred surface. Most calls cost 1 credit. Comment retrieval costs 1 credit per 5 comments with a 100-comment minimum, so at least 20 credits per call. New accounts start with 100 free credits, and no card is required. TubeAlfred is read-only. It cannot publish, edit, like, subscribe, or moderate anything on YouTube.
