The YouTube URL is normalized to a canonical watch URL, then sent as video input with optional clip offsets attached through videoMetadata. Detects the dominant language of the video, returns natural-language fields in that language, and accepts an optional custom JSON schema.analyze_long_youtube_videoAnalyze a long public YouTube video with Gemini long-video handling. Auto mode prefers uploaded-file analysis first because Files API is the recommended path for long videos, and falls back to URL chunks when needed. Direct YouTube URL chunking remains available as an explicit strategy for public videos, but should be treated as a preview-oriented convenience path.continue_long_video_analysisContinue analyzing a previously uploaded long-video session. When possible, this tool reuses the cached uploaded asset created by analyze_long_youtube_video instead of re-downloading the video.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
