setup-youtube-translate

setup-youtube-translate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from brianshin22/youtube-translate-mcp. It costs 32 tokens per session (294 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for YouTube Translate, a service that extracts and translates text from public YouTube videos. It covers the free demo, account connection, prepaid credits, and a first safe test.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps test the service, connect an account, check the balance, approve a maximum cost, make a first request, and handle payment setup without sharing payment details in chat.
Why use it?
Video processing may require payment and user approval, so starting work without checking the cost or balance could be unexpected. This guide requires a quote and approval before paid processing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup-youtube-translate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Set up YouTube Translate

  1. Test the free public demo first. Open https://api.youtubetranslate.com/demo or call the demo endpoint for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro6MDU2CFO4. The demo is free and returns a timestamped transcript. The MCP tools themselves require an account, and a cached MCP read costs 2,000 microcredits.
  2. Explain that cached MCP reads and new videos require a YouTube Translate account and prepaid credits.
  3. For a cached or uncached MCP request, call get_processing_quote. Show the maximum cost in microcredits and dollars, plus the current balance. One million microcredits equals one US dollar.
  4. Ask the user to approve the maximum before calling start_video with max_credit_units.
  5. If the balance is zero, direct the user to https://api.youtubetranslate.com/account/payments. The user approves a one-time Stripe Link payment. Never request payment credentials in chat.
  6. After payment, check the account balance before starting work. Never assume a browser redirect granted credit.

Keep the first interaction small: the free browser demo, then one quoted MCP job only if the user approves it.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
