# TubePull

> Ad-free hosted video and audio downloader for YouTube and nine other platforms, with no install required. Also available as a hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and a REST Developer API for programmatic use.

TubePull (tubepull.com) is a hosted video and audio downloader for YouTube, TikTok, SoundCloud, Vimeo, Twitter/X, Dailymotion, Bandcamp, Mixcloud, Twitch, and Streamable. The free tier allows 3 downloads per 24 hours, up to 1080p Full HD, for videos up to 1 hour long. The Pro plan ($4.99/month, or $47.88/year at $3.99/month) removes the daily cap for normal personal use, lifts the length limit, unlocks 1440p (2K) and 4K (2160p) video plus 320 kbps MP3 audio, adds a batch queue of up to 5 videos, and enables clip-range and GIF/meme export. For automated and application use, TubePull also offers a hosted MCP server and a credit-based Developer API. The paid plans fund the hosted server infrastructure and monitoring that keep downloads reliable.

Unlike most YouTube downloaders, TubePull has zero advertising, no fake "Download" buttons, no popup redirects, and no surprise charges. The free tier is genuinely useful — not a bait-and-switch funnel.

## MCP integration

TubePull's MCP server is a single HTTP endpoint at https://tubepull.com/mcp. Add it as a connector in your AI client's settings — no Docker, no Python, and no yt-dlp install, because the extractor runs on TubePull's servers.

Tools exposed by the MCP server:
- download_video — download a video or audio track from any supported platform by URL.
- get_video_info — fetch metadata (title, uploader, duration, available formats) without downloading; free and does not consume the download quota.

Anonymous MCP callers get the same 3-downloads-per-24h free allowance; paid accounts remove the daily cap for normal personal use, subject to a per-hour fair-use throttle. For high-volume, automated, or application-integration use, use the Developer API instead.

## Pricing

- Free: $0 — 3 downloads per 24 hours, up to 1080p Full HD, videos up to 1 hour long.
- Pro: $4.99/month or $47.88/year ($3.99/month annual) — daily cap removed for normal personal use (per-hour fair-use throttle applies), 4K/1440p video, 320 kbps MP3, batch queue up to 5, clip-range and GIF/meme export, priority processing.
- Developer API: free Sandbox tier plus paid, credit-based tiers billed per download and metadata call. See the [developer portal](https://tubepull.com/developers) for current tiers.
