Connect YouTube Comments Downloader to Claude

Add YouTube Comments Downloader to Claude once, and Claude can download YouTube comments and transcripts for you right in the chat. It takes about five minutes.

Before you start

  • A YouTube Comments Downloader account. A free account lets you try it with its free credits; for regular use, get the subscription. Prepaid credit packs and the desktop app license do not include AI app access.
  • A Claude account on any plan: Free, Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise. The Free plan allows one custom connector.
  • On Team and Enterprise, only an Owner (or, on Enterprise, someone with permission to manage connectors) can add the connector. After that, each member connects their own account.
  • A computer with a web browser. You add the connector on claude.ai.
Server URL, you will paste this
https://api.youtubecommentsdownloader.com/mcp
