Integration guide

Use YouTube transcripts in Cursor

Cursor's agent can fetch transcripts, search channels, and track uploads once it knows about one URL.

Free tier: no signup, no card. Full reference: /docs

One-click install

Add to Cursor

Or configure it by hand

Global: ~/.cursor/mcp.json · per-project: .cursor/mcp.json in the repo root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bulktranscripts": {
      "url": "https://bulktranscripts.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}

For paid credits, append your license key to the URL (https://bulktranscripts.co/mcp?key=…) — Cursor's MCP config sends no custom headers by default.

Enable the server under Settings → MCP if it doesn't switch on automatically, then use Agent mode — the tools are picked up by the model as needed.

Try asking

• Research how @fireship explains WebSockets — find the video and summarize it.
• Pull the transcript of this conference talk and extract the architecture decisions.
• List everything this channel published about Rust, newest first.
• Draft a blog post from this video's transcript, keeping direct quotes.

Notes

The connection works immediately on the free tier — no account, no OAuth. Buying a one-time credit pack gets you a license key that doubles as the API key; credits never expire and cached transcripts are always free.
