## What is Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search?

Arcmira: YouTube Transcript Search is a spoken-media search tool for researchers, marketers, founders, analysts, and developers that finds exact references in podcasts and long-form YouTube by what was actually said. It returns transcript passages, timestamps, and source links, and adds monitors, source briefings, and sponsor detection. It integrates with Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, MCP, Slack, Email, and webhooks. Plans run Free, Pro $20/mo, Pro+ $60/mo, Ultra $200/mo, and Enterprise custom.

## What it actually does

Arcmira indexes YouTube videos (the docs describe podcasts and long-form video hosted on YouTube, not a separate podcast-RSS crawl) and lets you search what was said, not just titles or descriptions. A search call returns the spoken text, the video, the publish date and a timestamped link to the moment (docs.arcmira.com/docs/search). Monitors follow a person, company, topic or show and alert on new mentions within 14 days of publication, over email, Slack or webhook (docs/monitors). A separate commercial-intelligence layer classifies spoken brand mentions as sponsored, organic or a weaker "mention," with the ad's quote, promo code and timing (docs/commercial-intelligence) — that full list and the recommendations endpoint need Pro+ ($60/mo); every plan gets a free partial slice.

## Pricing, the Pro trial and what credits cost

Confirmed on arcmira.com/pricing and docs/usage-and-billing (checked 2026-10-10): Free is $0 with 1,000 credits/month, 2 monitored names, no card, and withholds the newest 30 days of media. Pro is $20/month (20,000 credits, 10 monitored names, webhooks unlock) with a genuine 7-day free trial — a card is required, and it renews into the paid plan unless you cancel first. Pro+ is $60/month (first month $30; 30 monitored names; unlocks the full sponsor list). Ultra is $200/month (first month $100; 200 monitored names; up to 80 Premium-transcript hours included). Enterprise is custom with unlimited monitored names. Past plan credits, on-demand usage is $0.002/credit, billed as it accrues. A search result costs 4 credits (first 5 per request free), a monitor alert 25, and a 15-minute block of Premium transcript 300.

## The customers on the record

Arcmira's founder reported (2026-10-08) that a prior version of this page invented a customer list — Exa, Codex, Suno and Slop Cannon — that the company never submitted. Checking the homepage confirms why: those four appear only as tool icons inside a scripted interactive demo ("now make a music video based on all this"), illustrating what an agent orchestrating Codex, Suno and a video tool called Slop Cannon could produce from Arcmira's output, plus Exa as a web-search source Arcmira's own demo cites for fact-checking. The demo icons are not customer evidence. The actual "Used by people at" section on arcmira.com/pricing names OpenAI, PlanetScale, TBPN, Theo (t3.gg), Convex and Rainmaker. That is a vendor claim, shown as logos with no case studies or usage detail behind it, so treat it as Arcmira's own assertion rather than a confirmed fact.

## What's actually wired up

Per docs.arcmira.com (checked 2026-10-10), Arcmira connects to AI hosts — Claude Code, Claude (web/desktop), Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code, OpenCode, Hermes Agent, Grok and Gemini CLI — through a single remote MCP server, plus a CLI and TypeScript/Python SDKs for direct API use. Monitor alerts go out through exactly three channels: email, Slack and webhook. There is no X or LinkedIn delivery channel, and no Exa integration for end users; "Share on X" and "Share on LinkedIn" links on its research-brief pages are social-share buttons, not product integrations, and got folded into an "integrates with" list on an earlier version of this page in error.

## A young, fast-moving API

The GitHub org's MCP server repo (github.com/arcmira/mcp, checked via the GitHub API 2026-10-10) was created 2026-09-08, is not archived, and was last pushed 2026-10-08 — 4 stars, 5 open issues. Arcmira's own changelog shows a breaking API migration (team-account model) rolled out over three days, 2026-10-05 to 2026-10-08, that removed fields and retired an endpoint (docs/changelog). The public API itself dates to April 2026 by the same changelog; the repository's creation date marks when the MCP connector code went public, not when the API launched. The migration means an integration built against it today should expect schema changes with limited notice; the docs explicitly tell clients to ignore unrecognized new fields rather than promising stability.

## The homepage research demo isn't live data

Arcmira's homepage walks through a worked example — 465 data-center videos across 137 channels, accelerating from 40 in one 30-day window to 193 in the next — as a sample of what a monitor and research brief look like. The page's own footnotes say this is "recorded evidence" from 2026-09-06 and "does not run a live search or create a monitor," and separately warn: "No audited count of all Arcmira searches is available. Do not show an invented search count." Specific index-size figures (channel and media-record totals) that appeared on an earlier version of this page are not published anywhere on arcmira.com that we could find — the dedicated /coverage and /status paths both return 403 — so we've left them out rather than repeat an unverifiable number.
