Enables AI assistants to interact with the YouTube API through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows Claude and other AI assistants to interact with the YouTube API. The server provides tools to search for videos, get details about specific videos, search for channels, and obtain detailed information about channels.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic (creators of Claude) to connect AI assistants with external data sources and tools. It allows models like Claude to access up-to-date information and perform actions in external systems in a standardized way.
Compare MCP servers by category, or browse hosted MCP servers if you prefer an endpoint over a local process.
Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.
