Development

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.12+
  • Docker (optional)

Setup

# Create and activate a virtual environment using uv (recommended) uv venv source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate # Install dependencies using uv uv pip install -e . # Alternatively, with standard tools python -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate pip install -e .

Testing with Claude Desktop

To test with Claude Desktop (macOS/Windows only), you'll need to add your server to the Claude Desktop configuration file located at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json.

Method 1: Local Development

Use this method if you want to test your local development version:

{ "mcpServers": { "youtube-translate": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/youtube-translate-mcp", "run", "-m", "youtube_translate_mcp" ], "env": { "YOUTUBE_TRANSLATE_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

Make sure to replace /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/youtube-translate-mcp with the actual path to your project directory.

Method 2: Docker-based Testing

If you prefer to test using Docker (recommended for more reproducible testing):

{ "mcpServers": { "youtube-translate": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "YOUTUBE_TRANSLATE_API_KEY", "youtube-translate-mcp" ], "env": { "YOUTUBE_TRANSLATE_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual YouTube Translate API key.

For more information on using MCP servers with Claude Desktop, see the MCP documentation.

Debugging

  • The normal MCP Inspector has a built in timeout for MCP tool calls, which is generally too short for these video processing calls (as of March 13, 2025). Better to use Claude Desktop and look at the MCP logs from Claude at ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-{asfasf}.log.
  • Can do tail -f {log-file}.log to follow as you interact with Claude.
