Setup

Ensure Node.js 20+ is installed. 2. Add the stdio server to client config: command npx, args ['-y','@xzxzzx/bilibili-mcp@latest']. 3. Run npx -y @xzxzzx/bilibili-mcp@latest setup to configure credentials (Cookie), then run check to confirm. 4. Restart/reconnect the client, call check_bilibili_credentials to verify login, then test with search_bilibili_videos.

Fit and risk

Best for

Creators or researchers who want AI assistants to extract text content from Bilibili videos
Users who need to batch organize Bilibili favorites or subtitle data

Not for

Users not willing to provide Bilibili Cookie credentials
Anonymous use cases without accessing private content such as favorites
Users requiring long transcriptions that exceed resource limits

Required permissions

Requires Bilibili login credentials (Cookie) for features like search and favorites
Credentials stored locally in config file (~/.bilibili-mcp/config.json)
Requests are sent only to official Bilibili endpoints

Risks and side effects

Credentials stored locally without OS-level encryption
High-frequency calls may trigger Bilibili risk control or rate limiting
This is a third-party tool, not an official Bilibili service

Troubleshooting

If login fails, check credential configuration (run `setup` to force reconfigure)
If ASR unavailable, ensure the model is installed via `setup` and `doctor --json` reports `asr.status: ready`
If the MCP server is unavailable, check client configuration and network connectivity

Use cases

Read subtitles and comments of Bilibili videos, supporting timestamps and keyword search

Search videos by topic and get metadata

Iterate your own favorites for batch processing

Transcribe videos without subtitles using local ASR (requires model installation)
