Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search

About

Give your AI the ability to find who said what with timestamps, discover what's being discussed across videos and livestreams, and distinguish organic recommendations from sponsored ad reads.

Arcmira searches indexed YouTube and podcast transcripts and returns passages with timestamps and source links. Find speaker appearances across channels, explore mentions and sponsors, and create monitors and trackers for people or topics. Premium transcripts add speaker identification.

Connect through MCP with your Arcmira account. A paid read uses credits from your plan, then your on-demand budget. API documentation: https://arcmira.com/docs

Tools

Example prompts

• Find quotes about vibe coding with the speaker, video title, timestamp and source link.

• Where has this founder appeared across channels?

• Which brands sponsor this channel, and where are the ad reads?

• Find organic recommendations for this product and show the source passages.

Set up

Markdown

[![Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search on mcp.tc](https://mcp.tc/i/arcmira/badge.svg)](https://mcp.tc/i/arcmira)

HTML

<a href="https://mcp.tc/i/arcmira"><img src="https://mcp.tc/i/arcmira/badge.svg" alt="Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search on mcp.tc" height="20"></a>

It follows the reader’s light or dark mode. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to fix it, or ?style=compact to show the mark without the word.

Website card

HTML

<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/arcmira.js" async></script>

The card appears where the tag is. Add data-theme="dark" or data-size="compact" to the tag to change it. The file holds everything it needs, so it makes no other requests and sets no cookies.

iframe

HTML

<iframe src="https://mcp.tc/embed/arcmira" title="Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search on mcp.tc" width="420" height="200" loading="lazy" allow="clipboard-write" style="border:0;border-radius:8px;max-width:100%"></iframe>

Use it on pages that don’t allow scripts. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to the address to fix the colors.

JSON

The listing as data for your own pages and tools: name, tagline, the server’s own URL, tools and the “Add to” links. Any site can read it (CORS is open).

What each field means

AI prompt

Paste this into an AI coding assistant, such as Claude Code or Cursor, and it adds the Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search card to your site.

Markdown

Add the mcp.tc card for Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search, an MCP server, to my website. It is one static script: no build step, no package to install, no cookies.

Put this tag where the card should appear. The card renders right before it:

```html
<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/arcmira.js" async></script>
```

To show the card somewhere else, put this placeholder there and load the same script once, for example before `</body>`. Keep the link inside: visitors without JavaScript see it.

```html
<div data-mcptc="arcmira"><a href="https://mcp.tc/i/arcmira">Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search on mcp.tc</a></div>
```

Options:
- `data-theme="light"` or `"dark"` on the tag or the placeholder fixes the colors. Without it, the card follows the visitor’s light or dark mode.
- `data-size="compact"` gives a smaller card without the tagline.
- The CSS variable `--mcptc-max-width` on the placeholder or a parent sets the width (default `520px`).
- `?lang=` on the script URL sets the card’s language: `en`, `it`, `fr`, `de` or `es`.

If the site has a Content Security Policy, allow `script-src https://mcp.tc` and `img-src data:` (the icon is inline).

   Description

   Before

   Arcmira gives an AI assistant access to public conversations, mainly indexed YouTube transcripts. You can find quotes with timestamps, see where speakers appear, track mentions and sponsors, and follow how discussion of a topic changes over time. It runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at mcp.arcmira.com. Users sign in with OAuth. Requested scopes include read access, recommendations, and write access for monitors and trackers. No local install is needed.
