Bilibili MCP Server — Claude Code MCP server: features and setup
Give an AI agent access to Bilibili video search, subtitles, comments, and account collections. Node.js 20+ and account setup are required.
claude mcp add bilibili-mcp -- npx -y @xzxzzx/bilibili-mcpWhat Bilibili MCP Server does
The server lets an agent search for videos and creators, inspect video details, and browse a creator’s profile, uploads, series, and posts. It can retrieve subtitles, find matching phrases with timestamps, read comments and replies, and page through collections visible to the signed-in account. It connects as a local stdio server.
You need Node.js 20 or later. After adding the server to Claude Code, run npx -y @xzxzzx/bilibili-mcp@latest setup and then npx -y @xzxzzx/bilibili-mcp@latest check. Reconnect the client and call check_bilibili_credentials to verify the live session. Enter cookies in the local terminal; the configuration file is not guaranteed to receive OS-level encryption.
For videos without available subtitles, you can install a local faster-whisper model during setup and request ASR transcription. The feature is off by default and needs a ready model. Bilibili AI-generated subtitles may be inaccurate, so they should not be treated as human-verified quotations.
What it helps with
- find Bilibili videos by topic and select one by BVID
- retrieve subtitles with timestamps
- locate a phrase in a transcript and open its video moment
- read a video's comments and replies
- list videos in collections visible to the account
Example prompts for the agent
- Find Bilibili videos about discrete mathematics and return their titles, creators, lengths, and BVIDs.
- Read the subtitles for
BV1Eb411u7Fwwith timestamps and find mentions of functions. - Check my Bilibili login with
check_bilibili_credentials, then search for videos about programming.
