Environment variables

  • OPENROUTER_API_KEY secret Enables the semantic `search_transcripts` tool by embedding each transcript as it is saved. Transcription itself stays 100% offline and works without this.
  • YT_DLP_COOKIES_FROM_BROWSER Browser to pull cookies from for age-restricted or login-gated videos (e.g. 'firefox', 'chrome', 'brave').
  • YT_DLP_COOKIES Path to a Netscape-format cookies.txt file, as an alternative to YT_DLP_COOKIES_FROM_BROWSER.
