Enables AI language models to interact with YouTube content through a standardized interface, providing tools for retrieving video information, transcripts, channel analytics, and trend analysis.
Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

Install from
M8ven verifies MCPs across every public registry — install directly from whichever one you prefer.
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
Anthropic's MCP TypeScript SDK has a ReDoS vulnerability
Model Context Protocol (MCP) TypeScript SDK does not enable DNS rebinding protection by default
pnpm vulnerable to Command Injection via environment variable substitution
pnpm v10+ Bypass "Dependency lifecycle scripts execution disabled by default"
pnpm: Manifest identity spoof satisfies allowBuilds and runs attacker lifecycle
YOUTUBE_API_KEYYouTube Data API key (required)YOUTUBE_TRANSCRIPT_LANGDefault caption language (optional, default: 'ko')Tool annotations
No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
9/9 tools missing one or more hints — getVideoDetails (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); searchVideos (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); getTranscripts (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +6 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
License file
No license file
Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Shell command execution
1 child_process/subprocess call in production code — runs shell commands (test-transcript.js:7)
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
No arbitrary install scripts
Has postinstall/preinstall script — runs arbitrary code on npm install
Remove postinstall/preinstall hooks unless they’re essential.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 13 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.7.0 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.7.0 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Add it once and ask Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to grade a server, surface CVEs, check the publisher, and suggest safer alternatives — before you install.
