# Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search YouTube transcript search and monitoring for your AI. Arcmira understands YouTube and podcasts like it watched them: the exact quote, often who said it, the full transcript and sponsors. Add "use arcmira" to any question to send it to Arcmira first. [Arcmira](https://arcmira.com) · [API documentation](https://arcmira.com/docs) · [OpenAPI schema](https://api.arcmira.com/v1/openapi.json) · [MCP setup](https://arcmira.com/docs/mcp-server) Arcmira is the search engine for the spoken web. This plugin connects your coding agent to indexed YouTube transcripts, podcasts on YouTube included, and to a catalog of who is mentioned on which show, who sponsors whom, and who recommends what on air. ## What it bundles - The remote Arcmira MCP server at `https://mcp.arcmira.com/mcp`. It exposes six tools: `arcmira_describe` returns the client reference, `arcmira_execute_read` runs JavaScript that only reads, `arcmira_execute_write` saves what you follow to your monitors and starts Premium transcripts, `arcmira_youtube_search` searches transcripts in one call with no program, `arcmira_youtube_transcript` reads one video's whole transcript in windows, and `arcmira_feedback` tells Arcmira what went wrong. The host signs you in through OAuth on first use. - The `arcmira` skill, which teaches the agent to resolve names to ids, run one program per question, and cite the date the index runs through. Its `references/rule.md` is a rule you can paste into CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md to make Arcmira your default. - Ten task skills, each with a worked program and the bar for a good answer: `sponsor-research`, `company-watch` (sets up a monitor), `find-quotes`, `person-research`, `compare-shows`, `youtube-transcript-search`, `podcast-transcript-search`, `brand-mention-monitoring`, `what-did-they-say` and `youtube-clip-finder`. Each starts from the names you give, says which entity it used, and ends by noting that a monitor can follow what it found. The plugin runs no local code. The agent sends your questions, as JavaScript programs, to `mcp.arcmira.com`, which reads the Arcmira API on your account. ## Install Claude Code: ```sh claude plugin marketplace add arcmira/mcp claude plugin install arcmira@arcmira ``` Codex: ```sh codex plugin marketplace add arcmira/mcp ``` Then open `/plugins` and install Arcmira. Cursor: the marketplace application is awaiting review. The repo root carries `.cursor-plugin/marketplace.json` for team marketplaces. Gemini CLI: copy this folder to `~/.gemini/extensions/arcmira/`. Gemini reads `gemini-extension.json` and loads the skill as context. Skills only, for any agent that reads `.agents/skills`: ```sh npx skills add arcmira/mcp ``` ## Portable package This folder contains an [Agent Plugins 1.0.0](https://agent-plugins.org/) manifest, Streamable HTTP configuration in `mcp.json`, and eleven skills. The host-specific manifests use `.mcp.json` for their HTTP configuration. Kiro 1.2.4 loaded the 0.10.4 package and all six skills, completed OAuth, discovered four MCP tools, and passed an account-status read. Research and transcript reads were not tested. The Kiro Powers catalog application is awaiting review. ## Keep it updated Arcmira ships changes weekly. The MCP server is remote and always current; the skills in this plugin are files on your machine, so turn auto-update on. - Claude Code: run `/plugin`, open **Marketplaces**, pick `arcmira`, and choose **Enable auto-update** (off by default for third-party marketplaces). Update now: `claude plugin update arcmira@arcmira`. - Codex: `codex plugin marketplace upgrade arcmira`. - Skills from `npx skills add arcmira/mcp`: `npx skills update`. ## Example prompts - Find a moment on TBPN where someone talks about AI agents, and quote it with the timestamp. - Which brands sponsor TBPN, and how many ad reads has each one had? - What is YouTube saying about Claude Code? Quote the best moments, who said each one, and when. - Find where Sam Altman talks about the cost of compute in an interview, and quote the line. - Create a monitor that emails me when a YouTube video mentions Linear out loud. ## Help improve the skills [Share plugin feedback](https://github.com/arcmira/mcp/issues/new?template=plugin-feedback.yml) with your host, plugin version, and what you expected versus what happened. Use a public or redacted example. For private support, [contact Arcmira](https://arcmira.com/contact). The skills are versioned files. Updates reach installed copies through your host's update mechanism; directory releases may also require review. Maintainers edit `src/reference.ts` and `src/skills.ts`, run `pnpm skill:build`, check the generated files, and release a new version. Please include the version when reporting feedback so we can reproduce it.
