Agent workflow
Give agents a manifest-backed YouTube brief bundle.
For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor-style agent work, Youtubebrief keeps large video-derived context in files and returns bounded handles: manifest, Markdown, JSON, and optional aggregate exports.
Local stdio first
The current MCP surface runs locally through the CLI. It does not require a public remote MCP endpoint or a new production port.
Explicit URL lists
The workflow is for URLs you provide. It does not crawl channels, expand playlists automatically, or run YouTube search.
Bounded agent context
Large outputs stay in the bundle. Agents can inspect the manifest first and read only the files they need.
Workflow
How the beta flow works
- Install or pack the beta CLI after registry verification.
- Configure local stdio MCP with an API key in the environment.
- Call the batch tool with explicit URLs and use the returned manifest/output paths.
Sample bundle
Inspect the output shape before requesting access.
These are synthetic demo files, not customer records. They show the stable bundle contract: manifest first, then per-video and aggregate outputs.
Current boundaries
What this page is not promising.
- No hosted remote MCP endpoint is launched by these pages; the current agent path is local stdio.
- No server-side batch dashboard or queue is promised here.
- No automatic playlist expansion, channel crawler, or YouTube search is included in the first beta.
- Paid API usage and billing decisions remain server-authoritative.
