Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search
Arcmira runs two remote MCP servers. The research server "Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search" (io.github.arcmira/arcmira, version 0.10.4) is at https://mcp.arcmira.com/mcp over Streamable HTTP and requires a credential: an anonymous initialize returns 401 with WWW-Authenticate pointing at https://mcp.arcmira.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource; it accepts OAuth (authorization server https://api.arcmira.com) or an arc_sk_ account key as a bearer token. Its four tools are read from the public server card at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json, since tools/list needs a credential. A separate documentation server at https://arcmira.com/docs/mcp ("Arcmira API" 1.0.0) answers initialize and tools/list anonymously with three documentation tools. Neither is the set of candidate operations previously derived from the OpenAPI.

Connect
This is a remote MCP server — point an MCP client at the endpoint URL. Clients with native remote support (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, …):
For stdio-only clients (older Claude Desktop, etc.), bridge with mcp-remote:
If the server requires authentication, add the provider's token/header (e.g. an X-API-Key) per its docs. A quick reachability check:
Tools
arcmira_describe— Returns the reference for the typed arcmira client the execute tools run: method arguments, return fields, entity ID rules, examples, errors, the budget and monitor rules, and documentation links. The optional topic narrows it to a method or subject. Reads no indexed content and bills nothing. Docs: https://arcmira.com/docs/mcp-serverarcmira_execute_read— Runs JavaScript against the Arcmira API through the arcmira client: indexed YouTube and podcast transcripts, mentions, sponsors, recommendations, coverage, Premium transcripts (a Premium read of an untranscribed video uses credits from the user's plan, then the on-demand budget; never ask for cents), and the user's monitors. Input is an async function body with arcmira, ArcmiraError, and console in scope. Output is bounded JSON with the outcome first, then call/rate/build facts and capped logs. Methods and examples: arcmira_describe. Filters require entity, channel, or video IDs. Limits: 30 seconds, 40 API calls, and 12,000 characters of output in total, 3,000 per string, and 100 items per array.arcmira_execute_write— Runs JavaScript like arcmira_execute_read, with the account writes added: arcmira.monitors.create, arcmira.monitors.update (including paused), arcmira.monitors.addEntities, arcmira.monitors.addName and arcmira.monitors.attachTrackers. Use it only to save what the user asked to follow: list their monitors first, never assume one exists, and ask how they want updates (email or Slack; as it happens, hourly or daily) before creating one. Nothing is deleted; pause instead. Limits: 30 seconds, 40 API calls, and 12,000 characters of output in total, 3,000 per string, and 100 items per array.arcmira_feedback— Saves a feedback record for the Arcmira team about what was wrong, slow, missing or confusing in a task. Send one when a result was empty, an error, truncated or an ask that did not serve the user, or when the user says something was off. Each call adds a record; repeated calls create separate records. Costs nothing.search_arcmira_api— Search across the Arcmira API knowledge base to find relevant information, code examples, API references, and guides. Use this tool when you need to answer questions about Arcmira API, find specific documentation, understand how features work, or locate implementation details. The search returns contextual content with titles and direct links to the documentation pages. If you need the full content of a specific page, use the query_docs_filesystem tool to `head` or `cat` the page path (append `.mdx` to the path returned from search — e.g. a result at `/some/page` is read with `head -200 /some/page.mdx`).query_docs_filesystem_arcmira_api— Run a read-only shell-like query against a virtualized, in-memory filesystem rooted at `/` that contains ONLY the Arcmira API documentation pages and OpenAPI specs. This is NOT a shell on any real machine — nothing runs on the user's computer, the server host, or any network. The filesystem is a sandbox backed by documentation chunks. This is how you read documentation pages: there is no separate "get page" tool. To read a page, pass its `.mdx` path to `head` or `cat` — a page at the URL path `/some/page` lives at `/some/page.mdx`. To search the docs with exact keyword or regex matches, use `rg`. To understand the docs structure, use `tree` or `ls`. **Paths are specific to this site — never guess them.** Discover real paths with `tree / -L 2`, `ls /`, or the search tool before reading. If a path does not exist, that only means the guess was wrong; it does NOT mean the topic is undocumented — use `rg -il "keyword" /` to find where it is covered. **Workflow:** Start with the search tool for broad or conceptual queries like "how to authenticate" or "rate limiting". Use this tool when you need exact keyword/regex matching, structural exploration, or to read the full content of a specific page by path. Supported commands: rg (ripgrep), grep, find, tree, ls, cat, head, tail, stat, wc, sort, uniq, cut, sed, awk, jq, plus basic text utilities. No writes, no network, no process control. Run `--help` on any command for usage. Each call is STATELESS: the working directory always resets to `/` and no shell variables, aliases, or history carry over between calls. If you need to operate in a subdirectory, chain commands in one call with `&&` or pass absolute paths (e.g., `cd /some-directory && ls` or `ls /some-directory`). Do NOT assume that `cd` in one call affects the next call. Examples (replace the placeholder paths with real ones from `tree` or search): - `tree / -L 2` — see the top-level directory layout - `rg -il "rate limit" /` — find all files mentioning "rate limit" - `rg -C 3 "apiKey" /some-directory/` — show matches with 3 lines of context around each hit - `head -80 /some/page.mdx` — read the top 80 lines of a specific page - `head -80 /page-one.mdx /page-two.mdx /section/page-three.mdx` — read multiple pages in one call - `cat /some/page.mdx` — read a full page when you need everything - `cat /openapi/openapi/arcmira-v1.json | jq '.paths | keys'` — list OpenAPI endpoints OpenAPI specs for this site are mounted at: `/openapi/openapi/arcmira-v1.json`. Use them to answer questions about endpoints, request/response schemas, parameters, and authentication. Output is truncated to 30KB per call. Prefer targeted `rg -C` or `head -N` over broad `cat` on large files. To read only the relevant sections of a large file, use `rg -C 3 "pattern" /path/file.mdx`. Batch multiple file reads into a single `head` or `cat` call whenever possible. When referencing pages in your response to the user, convert filesystem paths to URL paths by removing the `.mdx` extension. For example, `/some/page.mdx` becomes `/some/page`.submit_feedback— Report a problem with this documentation site so the docs team can fix it. Use when a documentation page is incorrect, outdated, confusing, incomplete, or has a broken example. This is for feedback about the documentation content itself — not for product support requests or feedback about this tool or assistant.
About MCP
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol Anthropic introduced for connecting LLM-based agents to external tools and data sources. Providers publish MCP servers that expose their API surface as structured, discoverable tools — an MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, etc.) can connect to the server and call its tools without any per-provider integration code.
Browse every MCP server on the APIs.io network or compare with the broader Agent Skill surfaces of the same providers.
Work with this as data
Every MCP server here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.
