VidSnatch is a futuristic YouTube video downloader available as a web app, CLI tool, and MCP server for AI assistants. Download videos up to 4K, extract audio (MP3 / M4A / WAV), grab transcripts with timestamps, and trim specific segments — all from a stunning glassmorphism web UI or the command line. The built-in MCP skill integrates directly with Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot, so AI assistants can search, download, and transcribe videos without leaving the chat window.
Downloading video, extracting audio, pulling transcripts, and clipping segments each means a different tool or a clunky workflow. AI assistants can't touch YouTube at all.
One toolkit, three surfaces — a glassmorphism web UI for casual use, a CLI for scripts and pipelines, and an MCP server that gives Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot direct access to YouTube operations. Shared core. Three front doors.
AI assistants now research topics end-to-end without leaving the conversation. Creators download 4K in one click. Pipelines script the whole thing — the same Python core serves every surface.
