A side-by-side look at the Agent Preflight and BulkTranscripts YouTube MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Agent Preflight for search & data extraction work; choose BulkTranscripts YouTube for search & data extraction over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one block.
