YouTube data MCP server for AI agents. Search YouTube, fetch transcripts, read comments and replies, inspect channels, analyze playlists, and retrieve video details through Stophy’s hosted API.
Scored across 8 tools
Each tool targets a distinct YouTube data domain: channel browsing, playlist fetching, video details, search, suggestions, kids, music, and credits. Descriptions clearly differentiate them, with no functional overlap.
Most tools follow a consistent 'stophy_get_<noun>' pattern (get_channel, get_credits, etc.), but 'stophy_kids' and 'stophy_music' break the pattern by using a noun-only name with type parameters, introducing minor inconsistency.
With 8 tools, the server is well-scoped for a YouTube data extraction service. Each tool covers a distinct aspect of YouTube (channels, playlists, videos, search, kids, music, suggestions, credits), without unnecessary bloat.
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for read-only YouTube operations: channel details, playlist tracks, video metadata with transcript/comments/live chat, search, suggestions, kids-safe content, and music-specific features. No obvious gaps for the intended use case.
