Zebu Data - YouTube Data & Transcripts — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Zebu Data - YouTube Data & Transcripts?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is Zebu Data - YouTube Data & Transcripts working right now?

How do I connect Zebu Data - YouTube Data & Transcripts?
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. You will need your own key: it refuses anonymous clients.
Does Zebu Data - YouTube Data & Transcripts need an API key?
Yes. Every time we knock, Zebu Data - YouTube Data & Transcripts answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.
How fast is Zebu Data - YouTube Data & Transcripts?
