**YouTube video knowledge engine — transcripts, vision, and persistent wiki.**

mcptube-vision transforms YouTube videos into a persistent, structured knowledge base using both transcripts and visual frame analysis. Built on the [Karpathy LLM Wiki](https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f) pattern: knowledge compounds with every video you add.

**Evolved from [mcptube](https://pypi.org/project/mcptube/) v0.1** — mcptube-vision replaces semantic chunk search with a persistent wiki that gets smarter with every video ingested.

🧠 How It Works

Traditional video tools re-discover knowledge from scratch on every query. mcptube-vision is different:

           mcptube v0.1                    mcptube-vision
    ┌─────────────────────┐         ┌─────────────────────────┐
    │ Query → vector search│         │ Video ingested → LLM     │
    │ → raw chunks → LLM  │         │ extracts knowledge →     │
    │ → answer (from scratch│        │ wiki pages created →     │
    │   every time)        │         │ cross-references built   │
    └─────────────────────┘         │                         │
                                    │ Query → FTS5 + agent    │
                                    │ → reasons over compiled  │
                                    │   knowledge → answer     │
                                    └─────────────────────────┘

	v0.1 (Video Search Engine)	vision (Video Knowledge Engine)
On ingest	Chunk transcript, embed in vector DB	LLM watches + reads, writes wiki pages
On query	Find similar chunks	Agent reasons over compiled knowledge
Frames	Timestamp or k
