Claude CodeClaude DesktopCodex

AI-Video-Transcriber is a Claude Code plugin that transcribes and summarizes videos and podcasts from 30+ platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Bilibili, Apple Podcasts) or local files using AI-powered speech recognition and natural language processing. It leverages a subtitle-first architecture that instantly extracts existing captions when available, falling back to Faster-Whisper transcription only when necessary. The plugin supports multi-language summaries in 11 languages, automatic translation, and works with any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. Developers can integrate it as a Claude Code skill, MCP server tool, Codex App plugin, or standalone CLI for agent workflows.

AI-Video-Transcriber — FAQ

What is the AI-Video-Transcriber Claude Code plugin?+

It's an AI-powered plugin that transcribes and summarizes videos from 30+ platforms (YouTube, TikTok, podcasts) or local media files, generating transcripts and multi-language summaries. It works as a Claude Code skill, MCP server, Codex App plugin, or standalone CLI.

How do I install the Claude Code skill?+

The skill is auto-detected when you work in the cloned repository directory. To use it globally, copy the .claude/skills/video-transcribe folder to ~/.claude/skills/ and Claude Code will pick it up automatically.

Which AI clients support this plugin?+

Claude Code and Claude Desktop (via MCP server), Codex App (via plugin manifest and MCP server), and any system with Python 3.8+ for CLI use. The MCP server uses stdio protocol and requires manual registration in each client.

Do I need API keys or paid services?+

An OpenAI-compatible API key (OpenAI, OpenRouter, local LLM) is required for AI summaries, optimization, and translation. Transcription uses Faster-Whisper locally and works without an API key, but summaries will fall back to basic formatting. The plugin itself is free and open-source.

What are the prerequisites for installation?+

Python 3.8+, FFmpeg (for audio/video processing), and at least 4 GB RAM. Install via the provided install.sh script, Docker Compose, or manual pip install from requirements.txt in a virtual environment.

Does it work with local files or only online videos?+

Both. You can process URLs from 30+ platforms or upload local files (.mp3, .mp4, .wav, .webm, .mkv, .ogg, .flac, .txt) up to 200 MB per file. Plain .txt files skip transcription and go directly to the AI processing pipeline.

How do I install AI-Video-Transcriber?+

Open the source repository on GitHub and follow its README. AI-Video-Transcriber is a plugin — MCP Agents Market links you directly to the official repo.

Is AI-Video-Transcriber free?+

AI-Video-Transcriber is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. Check the repository for its license and any usage requirements.
