As a local MCP server: PyPI package
Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.
claude mcp add --env "TUBE_BRIDGE_PROXY=<YOUR_TUBE_BRIDGE_PROXY>" --env "YOUTUBE_API_KEY=<YOUR_YOUTUBE_API_KEY>" --transport stdio tube-bridge -- uvx tube-bridge[mcp_servers.tube-bridge]
command = "uvx"
args = ["tube-bridge"]
[mcp_servers.tube-bridge.env]
TUBE_BRIDGE_PROXY = "<YOUR_TUBE_BRIDGE_PROXY>"
YOUTUBE_API_KEY = "<YOUR_YOUTUBE_API_KEY>"{
"mcpServers": {
"tube-bridge": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"tube-bridge"
],
"env": {
"TUBE_BRIDGE_PROXY": "<YOUR_TUBE_BRIDGE_PROXY>",
"YOUTUBE_API_KEY": "<YOUR_YOUTUBE_API_KEY>"
}
}
}
}Replace the values in angle brackets with your own. We show the names of the settings, never values.
Optional settings it also lists: TUBE_BRIDGE_CACHE.
We do not store launch arguments. If the server needs any, its own documentation names them.

Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
