What is Archivarix Tube Search?

Archivarix Tube Search is a search engine for archived YouTube videos, including videos that have been deleted, made private, or region-blocked on the original platform. It indexes over 1 billion YouTube videos archived since 2005, drawing from multiple sources (Internet Archive, Wayback Machine snapshots, and proprietary crawls).

Key features:

  • Full-text search across video titles, descriptions, and channel metadata
  • Channel browsing — list all archived videos from any channel, including channels that have been terminated
  • Subtitle access — view or download original captions plus AI-generated transcripts for videos without them
  • AI summaries — multi-tier summaries (brief tags + detailed walkthrough) generated by self-hosted Gemma 4 27B
  • Stenograms — readable narrative rewrites of long-form video transcripts
  • MCP server — open-source Model Context Protocol wrapper (tube-search-mcp on npm) for AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code Copilot

Pricing: Free anonymous tier with full search; registered tier with subtitle downloads; Plus tier with bulk operations; API/MCP tier for programmatic access.

Use cases: finding deleted videos referenced in old discussions or research, archiving channels at risk of termination, AI agents analyzing YouTube history, research on content removal patterns.

The project runs on a public-facing app (tube.archivarix.net) and exposes an open-source MCP client (github.com/Archivarix-com/tube-search-mcp) that connects to a proprietary backend.
