Local command
cargo video-transcriber-mcpCredentials from the publisher
- OPENROUTER_API_KEY — Enables the semantic `search_transcripts` tool by embedding each transcript as it is saved. Transcription itself stays 100% offline and works without this.
- YT_DLP_COOKIES_FROM_BROWSER — Browser to pull cookies from for age-restricted or login-gated videos (e.g. 'firefox', 'chrome', 'brave').
- YT_DLP_COOKIES — Path to a Netscape-format cookies.txt file, as an alternative to YT_DLP_COOKIES_FROM_BROWSER.
Claude Code has no install link for a local command. Copy the command below and run it in a terminal.
