Summarize any YouTube video, fetch its transcript, or poll a channel for new uploads — **no account, no API key**. Payment *is* the auth: each call is paid per-use in USDC on Base via the [x402 protocol](https://www.x402.org/), settled only when the call succeeds. A failed call is never charged. ## Tools | Tool | What it does | Price | |---|---|---| | `summarize_youtube_video` | Claude-generated summary of a video's transcript | $0.02 | | `get_youtube_transcript` | Full transcript text for a video | $0.005 | | `list_new_channel_videos` | New uploads from a channel since a cursor | $0.002 | ## How payment works 1. Call a tool with no payment → you get an x402 `402` challenge (price, network, USDC asset, pay-to address). 2. Sign an EIP-3009 USDC authorization on **Base** and retry. 3. The tool runs; payment settles **only on success** — errors (no captions, bad URL, upstream hiccups) cost nothing. Works with any x402-capable agent or wallet. No configuration needed — there is nothing to set up. ## Notes - Summaries are cached: repeat requests for the same video are fast and still just $0.02. - Supports every common YouTube URL format (watch, youtu.be, shorts, embeds). - Also available as plain HTTP endpoints — see [sumvid.app](https://sumvid.app).

MCP readiness

B · 88/100

Readiness is how fully this listing follows its protocol and how it behaved in our probes over 30 days. It is shown for reference and does not move it in search. Search order and leaderboards use the separate quality grade (here C+, 70.0/100), which weighs availability, conformance, p95 speed and descriptor. How the two differ

Valid MCP handshake	10/10	initialize and tools/list both answered.
Live MCP endpoint	25/25	Endpoint answers the MCP initialize handshake (2012 ms).
Protocol revision	8/10	Speaks MCP 2025-11-25, 1 revision(s) behind 2026-07-28.
Signed descriptor	n/a	No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor.
Uptime (30 days)	15/15	30/30 probes succeeded over 30 days (100%).
Tool declaration	10/10	Lists 4 tool(s) with descriptions.
Verified identity	5/10	Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
Freshness + modern flags	4/5	seen in a source within 7 days.
Auth declaration	2/5	Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.

Applicable criteria total 90 points, scaled to 100.

Responsiveness: Responsive (2012 ms; bands ≤2.5 s, ≤5 s, ≤8 s, slower; penalty only).

Measured 2026-11-11.

Nine criteria, the same as the A2A readiness score, read from our daily MCP probe (initialize + tools/list) and 30-day probe history. No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor, so that criterion is n/a and the other 90 points are scaled to 100. Grades: A>=90, B>=75, C>=60, D>=40, F<40. Display only: search order uses the quality grade.

Compared with peers

Against 53,039 reachable MCP servers in our daily snapshot (2026-11-12 06:46 UTC). Display only; it does not change search order.

Readiness: Higher than 95% of peers; This listing 88 · peer median 81
Latency: Faster than 16% of peers; This listing 718 ms · peer median 326 ms

Where it loses the most points, and how to win them back

Verified identity −5 — Claim the listing and prove control of its domain.
Now: Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
Auth declaration −3 — State how to authenticate (an auth scheme, or that none is needed).
Now: Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.
Protocol revision −2 — Support the current protocol revision.
Now: Speaks MCP 2025-11-25, 1 revision(s) behind 2026-07-28.
