What it does

Three ways to rip any YouTube transcript: → Website: paste a URL, get the transcript. No signup. → Chrome extension: one click on any YouTube page. → MCP server: feed transcripts directly into Claude, Cursor, or any AI agent. Output in RAG-ready text, structured JSON, or readable Markdown. Multi-strategy extraction (Innertube API → HTML scraping → transcript panel) so it works even when YouTube's API is flaky. Runs locally. No API keys, no accounts, no data collection.

Rip any YouTube transcript with one click. Chrome extension and MCP server for AI agents. Free, open source, runs locally. No API keys, no sign-up.

Just transcripts, extracted from your own machine. No rate limits, no sign-up. Hit the rippr button on any YouTube page. Transcript downloaded instantly. MIT licensed. Inspect the code, contribute, or fork it. No hidden trackers, no telemetry, no data collection. Available in the Chrome extension and MCP server. The website API returns JSON by default, with optional Markdown or text formatting. Two ways to rip. Both run locally on your machine. No server, no rate limits. One-click transcripts from any YouTube page. Adds a button right on the player. No configuration needed. Use -y so npm installs non-interactively inside MCP clients. Both the Chrome extension and MCP server run locally.…from rippr.me

  • I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
