## Description

Playlist-MCP is an experimental server that makes YouTube playlist transcripts searchable through vector embeddings. It fetches and caches video transcripts from a specified YouTube playlist, stores them in a ChromaDB vector database, and exposes a search interface through the MCP protocol. The server comes preloaded with KubeCon London 2025 transcripts but can be configured to work with any YouTube playlist. This implementation is particularly useful for researchers and developers who need to quickly search through video content without watching hours of footage.
