Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search — Claude Code MCP server
Search YouTube and podcast transcripts for quotes, mentions, sponsors, ad reads, and speaker appearances. Useful when an agent needs sourced media research.
claude mcp add --transport http arcmira https://mcp.arcmira.com/mcpWhat Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search does
Arcmira connects a remote MCP server to an agent that can search YouTube and podcast transcripts. It returns timestamped passages, source links, publication dates, and speaker attribution when available. Other methods cover entity mentions, media appearances, recommendation labels, sponsor history, mention momentum, and YouTube monitoring.
The client can load its method reference through arcmira_describe, then run read-only code with arcmira_execute_read; monitor changes use arcmira_execute_write. Authentication is handled by the host or by sending a bearer key. Speaker attribution and commercial labels can be incomplete, so the linked source still needs a manual check.
What it helps with
- search YouTube and podcast transcripts for a phrase
- verify whether a person or company appeared in episodes
- separate ad reads from organic recommendations
- track recurring YouTube sponsors and new mentions
Example prompts for the agent
- Read the surrounding exchange for each matching passage before summarizing its meaning.
- Find ad reads and organic recommendations for this product, keeping the source and position for every result.
