Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search

YouTube transcript search and monitoring for your AI. Arcmira understands YouTube and podcasts like it watched them: the exact quote, often who said it, the full transcript and sponsors.

Add "use arcmira" to any question to send it to Arcmira first.

Arcmira is the search engine for the spoken web. This plugin connects your coding agent to indexed YouTube transcripts, podcasts on YouTube included, and to a catalog of who is mentioned on which show, who sponsors whom, and who recommends what on air.

What it bundles

• The remote Arcmira MCP server at https://mcp.arcmira.com/mcp. It exposes six tools: arcmira_describe returns the client reference, arcmira_execute_read runs JavaScript that only reads, arcmira_execute_write saves what you follow to your monitors and starts Premium transcripts, arcmira_youtube_search searches transcripts in one call with no program, arcmira_youtube_transcript reads one video's whole transcript in windows, and arcmira_feedback tells Arcmira what went wrong. The host signs you in through OAuth on first use.
• The arcmira skill, which teaches the agent to resolve names to ids, run one program per question, and cite the date the index runs through. Its references/rule.md is a rule you can paste into CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md to make Arcmira your default.
• Ten task skills, each with a worked program and the bar for a good answer: sponsor-research, company-watch (sets up a monitor), find-quotes, person-research, compare-shows, youtube-transcript-search, podcast-transcript-search, brand-mention-monitoring, what-did-they-say and youtube-clip-finder. Each starts from the names you give, says which entity it used, and ends by noting that a monitor can follow what it found.

The plugin runs no local code. The agent sends your questions, as JavaScript programs, to mcp.arcmira.com, which reads the Arcmira API on your account.

Install

Claude Code:

claude plugin marketplace add arcmira/mcp
claude plugin install arcmira@arcmira

Codex:

codex plugin marketplace add arcmira/mcp

Then open /plugins and install Arcmira.

Cursor: the marketplace application is awaiting review. The repo root carries .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json for team marketplaces.

Gemini CLI: copy this folder to ~/.gemini/extensions/arcmira/. Gemini reads gemini-extension.json and loads the skill as context.

Skills only, for any agent that reads .agents/skills:

npx skills add arcmira/mcp

Portable package

This folder contains an Agent Plugins 1.0.0 manifest, Streamable HTTP configuration in mcp.json, and eleven skills. The host-specific manifests use .mcp.json for their HTTP configuration.

Kiro 1.2.4 loaded the 0.10.4 package and all six skills, completed OAuth, discovered four MCP tools, and passed an account-status read. Research and transcript reads were not tested. The Kiro Powers catalog application is awaiting review.

Keep it updated

Arcmira ships changes weekly. The MCP server is remote and always current; the skills in this plugin are files on your machine, so turn auto-update on.

• Claude Code: run /plugin, open Marketplaces, pick arcmira, and choose Enable auto-update (off by default for third-party marketplaces). Update now: claude plugin update arcmira@arcmira.
• Codex: codex plugin marketplace upgrade arcmira.
• Skills from npx skills add arcmira/mcp: npx skills update.

Example prompts

• Find a moment on TBPN where someone talks about AI agents, and quote it with the timestamp.
• Which brands sponsor TBPN, and how many ad reads has each one had?
• What is YouTube saying about Claude Code? Quote the best moments, who said each one, and when.
• Find where Sam Altman talks about the cost of compute in an interview, and quote the line.
• Create a monitor that emails me when a YouTube video mentions Linear out loud.

Help improve the skills

Share plugin feedback with your host, plugin version, and what you expected versus what happened. Use a public or redacted example. For private support, contact Arcmira.

The skills are versioned files. Updates reach installed copies through your host's update mechanism; directory releases may also require review. Maintainers edit src/reference.ts and src/skills.ts, run pnpm skill:build, check the generated files, and release a new version. Please include the version when reporting feedback so we can reproduce it.
