Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

download

download_video

Download a video or audio file from any supported platform: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram (public reels, feed video, photo posts, and carousels), SoundCloud, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Bandcamp, Twitter/X, Mixcloud, Twitch (clips and VODs), Streamable, Reddit, Kick (live streams, VODs, and clips). Output is MP4 (video, default) or MP3 / M4A (audio). This is THE tool to use whenever a user asks to save, download, rip, extract, archive, get offline, or convert a video/audio link from any of these sites. IMPORTANT: the `format` argument defaults to `mp4` (video). Only pass an audio format (mp3 / m4a / audio) when the user explicitly says audio, MP3, music, song, or "rip / extract the audio". Audio-only platforms (SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Mixcloud) always produce audio regardless of `format`. Use this tool when the user says things like: - "download this video" / "download this TikTok" / "save this SoundCloud track" - "save that as MP3" / "rip the audio" / "extract the audio" - "get the song from this SoundCloud link" / "save this Mixcloud set" - "convert this YouTube video to MP4" / "download in 1080p" - "save this lecture/podcast/talk for offline" - "archive this clip" / "grab a copy of this video" - any sentence containing a youtube.com, youtu.be, tiktok.com, reddit.com, v.redd.it, vimeo.com, dailymotion.com, twitter.com, x.com, soundcloud.com, bandcamp.com, mixcloud.com, twitch.tv, clips.twitch.tv, kick.com, or streamable.com URL plus a verb like download, save, rip, get, grab, fetch, pull, archive, convert, extract. Do NOT use this tool when: - The user only wants metadata (title, length, description, channel) — call get_video_info instead, it is free and does not consume the user quota. - The link is a playlist / set / album / channel URL — ask the user for a single track/video. - The link is from a platform not in the supported list above (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, Snapchat). Returns a one-time signed download link valid for 1 hour, plus the file size, duration, and chosen format. Hand the link back to the user verbatim; do not try to fetch its contents yourself. Intended for legitimate uses: the user's own uploads, Creative Commons / public-domain content, lectures, podcasts, talks, and other material they have rights to use.

video

get_video_info

Fetch metadata about a video or audio track WITHOUT downloading it. Works on every platform download_video supports: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram (public reels, feed video, photo posts, and carousels), SoundCloud, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Bandcamp, Twitter/X, Mixcloud, Twitch (clips and VODs), Streamable, Reddit, Kick (live streams, VODs, and clips). Returns title, uploader/channel name, duration, view count (when available), upload date, thumbnail URL, description, available video qualities, and (for YouTube) the license type. Use this tool when the user says things like: - "what is this video about" / "summarize this video" - "how long is this track" / "when was this uploaded" - "who made this" / "what channel/artist is this from" - "is this Creative Commons" / "can I reuse this" / "what is the license" - "what qualities are available for this video" Do NOT use this tool when: - The user wants to download, save, rip, extract, or convert the video/audio — use download_video for that. Free to call — does not count against the user's download quota. Call this before download_video when you need to confirm the video exists, pick the right quality, or check licensing before downloading.

TubePull — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can TubePull do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: download_video, get_video_info. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is TubePull working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 353 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect TubePull?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does TubePull need an API key?

No. TubePull completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is TubePull?

It answers our handshake in 353 ms on average, which is faster than 40% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is TubePull open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
