The apex host youtubetranscript.dev 301-redirects to www. On that redirect fetch drops the Authorization header (-> 401 on get_transcript/get_stats/ list_transcripts) and downgrades POST->GET (-> 405 on transcribe_v2), which made every MCP tool call fail with a valid API key. Point the default baseUrl (server-http.ts, mcp.ts, index.ts) and the docker-compose default at https://www.youtubetranscript.dev so requests hit the canonical host directly with no redirect.

Problem
With a valid API key, every MCP tool call failed:
get_transcript/get_stats/list_transcriptsreturned 401, andtranscribe_v2returned 405.Root cause
The default
baseUrlis the apexhttps://youtubetranscript.dev, which 301-redirects towww. On that redirectfetch:Authorizationheader (cross-host hop) → upstream sees no auth → 401/api/v2/transcribeis POST-only → 405Verified:
GET https://www.youtubetranscript.dev/api/v1/creditswith Bearer → 200; apex → 301 → www.Fix
Default
baseUrl→https://www.youtubetranscript.devinserver-http.ts,mcp.ts,index.ts, and thedocker-compose.ymldefault. No redirect, auth + method preserved.Verified end-to-end through the built code:
get_statsandtranscribe_v2both return 200.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
