YTDL RMCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. Last commit 25 Aug 2026.
Rust MCP server and CLI for yt-dlp search, downloads, metadata, transfers, and Plex playlists.
Every tool that appeared, vanished or quietly changed what it asks for. Recorded since 9 August 2026. No other catalogue keeps this.
Today is the operative word: we check YTDL RMCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.
claude mcp add ytdl-rmcp -- npx -y ytdl-rmcp
{
"mcpServers": {
"ytdl-rmcp": {
"args": [
"-y",
"ytdl-rmcp"
],
"command": "npx"
}
}
}
[mcp_servers.ytdl-rmcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "ytdl-rmcp"]

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
YTDLP_PLEX_URL (Optional Plex server URL for playlist and Plex sync workflows.), YTDLP_PLEX_TOKEN (Optional Plex token for playlist and Plex sync workflows.), YTDLP_ACOUSTID_CLIENT_KEY (Optional AcoustID client key for identification and auto-retagging workflows.), YTDL_RMCP_BINARY_VERSION (Optional GitHub release tag override for the downloaded YTDL RMCP binary.), YTDL_RMCP_RELEASE_BASE_URL (Optional release download base URL override.), RUST_LOG (Tracing filter for YTDL RMCP logs.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
