YouTube Research MCP v1.2.0 makes citation-ready evidence self-identifying and completes one-click desktop distribution.

Highlights

  • Every research-video and research-videos result now includes video title, channel identity, canonical URLs, thumbnail, and readable citation labels such as Introducing GPT-5 [00:35].
  • Transcript segments and source identity are obtained from one YouTube information request and cached together.
  • A reproducible MCPB pipeline vendors production dependencies, unpacks the artifact in a clean directory, launches the bundled MCP server, and verifies all 14 tools.
  • GitHub Releases and Smithery can distribute the local one-click bundle for Claude Desktop and other MCPB-compatible clients.
