The AI-powered toolkit that grows your YouTube channel on autopilot
Yutu MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. The AI-powered toolkit that grows your YouTube channel on autopilot.
yutu is a CLI, MCP server, and AI agent for YouTube that automates your entire YouTube workflow — from uploading and optimizing videos to managing comments, playlists, and channel branding — so you can get more views, higher click-through rates, and stronger audience engagement with less manual effort. 中文文档
You will need 8 environment variables: YUTU_CREDENTIAL, YUTU_CACHE_TOKEN, YUTU_ADVANCED_MODEL, YUTU_LITE_MODEL, YUTU_LLM_API_KEY, GOOGLE_GEMINI_BASE_URL, YUTU_AGENT_INSTRUCTION, YOUR_CLIENT_ID. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
An account on Google Cloud Platform is required. Set up the following: 1. Create a GCP Project and enable these APIs under APIs & Services -> Enable APIs and services: - YouTube Data API v3 (Required) - [YouTube Analytics
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at skills on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by eat-pray-ai; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Yutu's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
