Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 424 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

Capabilities

Tools 4

format_json

Validate raw JSON and return it pretty-printed or minified. `pretty` (default true) uses two-space indentation; false minifies. `sort_keys` (default false) sorts object keys alphabetically and leaves array order alone. Input is capped at 1 MB. Invalid JSON raises with the line and column and is not charged. Pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base), no account or API key.

Discovered
get_youtube_transcript

Fetch the raw transcript text of a YouTube video (no model run, the cheaper SKU, $0.003 USDC on Base), in any of 100+ languages (`language` param, BCP-47). Pay-per-call via x402, no account. A video without captions returns an error and is not charged.

Discovered
list_new_channel_videos

New videos on a YouTube channel since your last poll — stateless channel monitoring, no accounts or webhooks. Pass a channel URL, @handle, or channel id, plus an optional cursor (`since_video_id` or `since`, an ISO 8601 timezone-aware timestamp) from your last call. Returns new video ids/titles/publish times, newest first, plus `newest_video_id` to use as your next cursor. Pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base), no account or API key. An unresolvable channel or a naive `since` timestamp returns an error and is not charged.

Discovered
summarize_youtube_video

Summarize a YouTube video with Claude and return the summary text, in any of 100+ output languages (`language` param, BCP-47). Pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base) — no account or API key. Cheaper than pulling the full transcript into your own context. A bad URL or a video without captions returns an error and is not charged. New videos up to 60 minutes; longer ones (or ones whose length can't be determined) return an error and are not charged.
