# Ollang MCP + YouTube

<Warning>
  The YouTube MCP Server is a third-party project and is not developed, maintained, or affiliated with Ollang or YouTube. Please exercise caution when connecting to any third-party MCP server and review its source code and permissions before use.
</Warning>

Use a [YouTube MCP Server](https://github.com/ZubeidHendricks/youtube-mcp-server) alongside Ollang MCP to extract video transcripts and create translation orders for your YouTube content.

## Why YouTube + Ollang?

YouTube is the world's largest video platform. By connecting both MCP servers, your AI assistant can:

* Extract transcripts from any YouTube video
* Create subtitle and closed caption translation orders
* Prepare content for multilingual YouTube channels
* Order AI dubbing for YouTube videos
