# Install YouTube Summarize for MCP agents

YouTube Summarize provides a remote MCP server for creating and reading YouTube summaries.

## Server settings

1. Server name: `youtube-summarize`
2. Transport: remote Streamable HTTP
3. URL: https://youtube-summarize.msvos.nl/mcp
4. Authentication: optional OAuth through your MCP client

## Setup

1. Add a remote MCP server with the settings above.
2. Use it without signing in for public summaries and anonymous monthly use.
3. Use your client’s connect or sign-in flow to link your YouTube Summarize account. A linked account can read private summaries and lists.
4. Disconnect or remove the account connection to return to anonymous use.

## Tools

1. `summarize_video`: Start a summary job for a YouTube video.
1. `get_summary_job`: Check a summary job until it succeeds or fails.
1. `list_summaries`: List your library or recent public summaries.
1. `get_summary`: Read summary metadata and structured notes, without the transcript.
1. `list_summary_lists`: List your summary lists.
1. `get_usage`: Show your plan and shared web/MCP usage.

## Limits and privacy

1. Anonymous callers can create 1 summary and read 10 summaries per month.
2. Free accounts can create 3 summaries and read 100 summaries per month.
3. Plus accounts can create 100 summaries and read 1,000 summaries per month.
4. Website and MCP calls share these limits.
5. Anonymous use is grouped by network address, so one home or office network shares an allowance.
6. Anonymous summaries are public and include a one-use claim link after completion.
7. Signed-in summaries are private unless changed on the website.

## Example requests

1. Summarize a YouTube URL in Dutch or English.
2. Check the job until it is done, then read the summary.
3. List your latest summaries or the latest public summaries.
4. Show your YouTube Summarize usage.
