Fork note (felipefontoura): patched the transcript scraper for youtube-transcript-api>=1.0.0. Upstream 0.1.0 declared >=1.0.0 but still called the removed 0.6.x YouTubeTranscriptApi.list_transcripts() / dict-style snippets, so youtube_get_transcript always errored. Now uses YouTubeTranscriptApi().list() + .fetch().to_raw_data(). See src/youtube_mcp/tools/transcripts.py.

YouTube MCP Server

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol server for the YouTube Data API v3, Analytics API, and Reporting API. Gives AI assistants full access to your YouTube channel — analytics, video management, comments, and more.

40 tools covering:

Channel & video data
YouTube Analytics (performance, audience, retention, revenue)
Video publishing & playlist management
Transcript extraction
YouTube SEO (search suggestions, trending)
Comments
Bulk reporting

Why This Server?

Existing YouTube MCP servers focus narrowly on transcript scraping or basic search. This server covers three YouTube APIs and is the only open-source MCP server that provides:

YouTube Analytics API — channel performance, top videos/Shorts, audience retention curves, traffic sources, demographics, revenue, day-of-week analysis
YouTube Reporting API — schedule and download bulk CSV reports
Full Data API coverage — not just read, but also upload videos, manage playlists, post comments, set thumbnails
YouTube SEO tools — autocomplete suggestions, trending videos, category discovery
Dual transcript strategy — official captions API for your own videos, youtube-transcript-api fallback for any public video
Quota tracking — client-side tracking with hard-fail protection so you don't silently exhaust your daily quota

Feature	This server	Others
Analytics API (watch time, retention, CTR)	Yes	No
Reporting API (bulk CSV exports)	Yes	No
Video upload & management	Yes	Rare
Playlist management	Yes	Rare
Comments (read + write)	Yes	No

Prerequisites

Python 3.11+
A Google Cloud project with YouTube APIs enabled
OAuth 2.0 credentials

Google Cloud Setup

1. Create a Google Cloud Project

Go to Google Cloud Console
Create a new project (or use an existing one)

2. Enable APIs

Enable all three APIs in APIs & Services > Library:

YouTube Data API v3
YouTube Analytics API
YouTube Reporting API

Go to APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen
Set User Type to External
Fill in the app name and required fields
Add the Google account that owns your YouTube channel as a test user

Important: You must sign in with the Google account that owns the YouTube channel, not a manager. Only the owner account can access Analytics data.

4. Create OAuth Credentials

Go to APIs & Services > Credentials
Click Create Credentials > OAuth client ID
Application type: Desktop app
Download the JSON file
Save it as ~/.youtube-mcp/client_secret.json

Alternatively, set the YOUTUBE_MCP_CLIENT_SECRET environment variable to the path of your credentials file.

Required OAuth scopes

The consent flow requests all scopes the server uses. One of them is easy to miss and cannot be substituted:

Scope	Needed by
`youtube.force-ssl`	comments and captions — mandatory, no alternative
`youtube.readonly`	reading videos, channels, playlists
`youtube.upload`	uploading videos
`yt-analytics.readonly`	Analytics queries
`yt-analytics-monetary.readonly`	revenue figures

commentThreads.list, comments.list, commentThreads.insert, comments.insert, captions.list and captions.download accept only youtube.force-ssl (captions also accept youtubepartner, which is a different product). A token authorised without it still works for everything else and fails those calls with:

HTTP 403 "Request had insufficient authentication scopes"

If you hit that, the token was granted without the scope. Re-run the consent flow and approve the full permission list — youtube_auth_status now reports missing_scopes so this is visible up front rather than only at call time.

Adding youtube.force-ssl is a sensitive scope. If your OAuth app is in "Testing" mode, the channel-owning account must be listed as a test user (step 3) or consent will be refused.

Provisioning a token without filesystem access

The token is self-contained (it carries its own client_id, client_secret and refresh_token), so it can be supplied inline instead of as a file — useful when the server runs in a container whose config_dir you cannot write to:

export YOUTUBE_MCP_TOKEN_JSON='{"token":"...","refresh_token":"...","client_id":"...","client_secret":"...","scopes":["..."]}'

This takes priority over token.json. Note it puts the refresh token wherever your environment variables are stored, so prefer the file when you have access.

Installation

pip install youtube-studio-mcp

Or with uv:

uv pip install youtube-studio-mcp

MCP Client Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "youtube": {
      "command": "youtube-studio-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add to your MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "youtube": {
      "command": "youtube-studio-mcp"
    }
  }
}

With environment variables

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "youtube": {
      "command": "youtube-studio-mcp",
      "env": {
        "YOUTUBE_MCP_CLIENT_SECRET": "/path/to/client_secret.json",
        "YOUTUBE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-for-public-data"
      }
    }
  }
}

First Run

On first use, the server will open a browser window for Google OAuth consent. Sign in with the account that owns your YouTube channel and grant the requested permissions. The token is saved to ~/.youtube-mcp/token.json and auto-refreshes.

TDQS

B3.3/5.0

Scored 2026-08-04 01:40 across 40 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools are clearly distinct by domain (analytics, reporting, playlists, comments, video CRUD), with informative descriptions. The only mild confusion is between youtube_list_videos vs youtube_get_video (list vs detail is standard) and the multiple analytics_* tools are well-differentiated by their specific focus (traffic, geography, demographics, etc.). No two tools appear to do the same thing.

Naming Consistency4/5

The server consistently uses a youtube_ prefix followed by a clear verb_noun pattern (list_videos, get_video, create_playlist, upload_video, delete_video). Minor deviations: youtube_search_suggestions vs youtube_get_categories, and the reporting tools use a subnamespace (youtube_reporting_list_*) which is structured and predictable. Youtube_analytics_* tools follow a consistent subpattern, though the flat prefix gets long.

Tool Count3/5

At 40 tools, this is on the heavy side and exceeds the typical well-scoped range (3-15). However, YouTube's API surface is genuinely broad, spanning auth, search, channel/video/playlist CRUD, comments, captions, analytics (10+ dedicated tools), reporting, and uploads. The size is defensible for the scope, though it sits above the comfortable threshold.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface is remarkably comprehensive. It covers video lifecycle (upload, get, list, update, delete, thumbnail), playlist lifecycle, comments (list, post, reply), search, captions/transcripts, trending, channel info, full analytics coverage (overview, top videos, top shorts, demographics, geography, traffic, retention, revenue, day-of-week, content-type), and a complete reporting subsystem. The only minor gap is the absence of playlist update/delete tools, but playlist create/list/add/remove is largely covered.
