# Using SearchApi's YouTube Transcripts engine, run this search and summarise the results: video_id = "sample_youtube_transcripts_video_id"

Connect the catalog once to Claude Code, Claude Desktop or Cursor, then ask in words and the agent picks the engine. Create your MCP URL at https://www.searchapi.io/integrations/mcp and paste it over the placeholder — the connect flow is OAuth, so no key travels in this command. The server was read on 2026-08-11; which engines its tool list covers was not verified here.
