Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
Merge the snippet below into it.
Restart the agent — the "Arcmira" tools will be available.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "arcmira": {
      "command": "claude",
      "args": [
        "mcp",
        "add",
        "--transport",
        "http",
        "--scope",
        "user",
        "arcmira",
        "https://mcp.arcmira.com/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code (remote server, signs in via browser)

{
  "command": "claude",
  "args": [
    "mcp",
    "add",
    "--transport",

  ]
}

Description

Arcmira gives an AI assistant searchable access to YouTube video, podcast and livestream transcripts. Instead of skimming hours of footage, ask who said what, when a topic came up, which brands sponsor a show, or how often a person mentioned a subject, and get timestamped links back to the source.

How it works

The hosted server at https://mcp.arcmira.com/mcp exposes a small tool surface: a describe tool that returns the client reference, and read and write execution tools that run short programs against the Arcmira client (30 seconds, 40 API calls, bounded output). Writes cover account monitors that watch channels or topics for you. Clients that support MCP authorization sign in through the browser; anything else can send an arc_sk_ bearer key, and an agent can even create an account through the signup API.

Good to know

Results cover indexed videos only. Speaker identification and the sponsored-versus-organic classification can be incomplete or wrong, so check the linked source. Plan limits apply, and Premium transcripts need a paid plan. It works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and other MCP clients.
