• get_channel_transcripts

  YouTube Transcript Downloader

  Get transcripts for a YouTube channel's most recent videos (newest first) as timestamped markdown, one section per video. Use for research across a creator's recent output; for one known video use get_transcript. Read-only; requires an API key. Charges 1 credit per video that returns a transcript, including repeat calls; videos without captions are skipped free. A 10-video call typically costs up to 10 credits, so start with a small limit. Rate limit: 5 requests per 10 seconds.

• submit_posted_video

  ugc-pocket

  For CREATOR API keys: declare that you published a video on a social network for a campaign you are selected on. Give the public video URL (TikTok, Instagram or YouTube for automatic daily view tracking over 1 month; other https URLs are stored without tracking) and the campaign_id (see list_my_campaigns). Re-submitting the same URL for the same campaign is idempotent (returns the existing deliverable). Built for power users submitting many videos, e.g. hundreds for a challenge. Rate limit 30/min. Requires a creator API key (creator:submit scope).

• list_new_channel_videos

  YouTube Video Summarizer (pay-per-call)

  New videos on a YouTube channel since your last poll — stateless channel monitoring, no accounts or webhooks. Pass a channel URL, @handle, or channel id, plus an optional cursor (`since_video_id` or `since`, an ISO 8601 timezone-aware timestamp) from your last call. Returns new video ids/titles/publish times, newest first, plus `newest_video_id` to use as your next cursor. Pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base), no account or API key. An unresolvable channel or a naive `since` timestamp returns an error and is not charged.

• search_knowledge

  Social Cooks MCP

  Semantic full-text search across all Social Cooks content (blog articles, guides, glossary, service pages). Returns the most relevant passages with their source URLs so you can cite them. Read-only — use it to answer questions about the agency's approach, methods, metrics and how-tos that the other tools don't cover.

• post_to_youtube

  Hermoso

  Publish a finished video to the brand’s connected YouTube channel. Pass a Hermoso render URL (or an upload_file url for a local/external file). DEFAULTS TO UNLISTED (link-only — not on the channel, not searchable, but shareable by link AND usable as a YouTube/Google ad). Pass privacy:"public" to put it ON the channel (a public publish — confirm with the user first) or privacy:"private" for eyes-only. Do NOT use "private" for anything meant to run as an ad — private videos CANNOT be used as ads; unlisted is the ad-ready setting. Needs a connected YouTube channel (Settings ▸ Connectors ▸ YouTube).

• decode_ad

  Heista

  Decode a specific video ad URL into its full structural formula — beat-by-beat breakdown, hook classification, behavioral psychology stack, creative format, runtime performance signals (active days on Meta Ad Library when available), and per-cut visual data. Takes one video URL plus an optional idempotency_key. Returns a job_id immediately; poll with get_decode every 15s until status is "completed" (typically 45-60s end-to-end). Use this when the user pastes an ad URL, names a specific competitor ad, asks "decode this" or "break down this ad" or "what makes this ad work", or wants sentence-level fidelity to one specific winner before writing a script with generate_adscript. Supports Facebook Ad Library, TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and direct .mp4 URLs. Costs 15 credits for videos ≤60s, 20 credits for 61-120s. Do NOT use to browse the corpus or find ads by category — use decoder_intelligence or adformula_intelligence (both free) for discovery. Do NOT use for image ads or static creative.

• analyze_video

  switch

  Switch Vision — watch and understand a video (or image) like a human and answer a question about it: scenes, subjects, actions, on-screen text, pacing, mood and sentiment. Pass video_url (a public https video URL, including YouTube) OR one of your own Switch videos (a video/asset id from list_my_videos / list_my_assets / upload_media). Add an optional question to focus the analysis (e.g. "what is the tone and energy?", "list the cuts and what each shot shows"). Use this whenever the user gives you a reference video and wants its style, energy, structure or content understood — for example before making a new video that matches it.

• create_style

  framesail

  Create a style. Two mutually exclusive paths: References (best): inputs=[{"input_type": "youtube" | "text", "value": "<url or description>"}] — YouTube videos are watched and text directions read; async analysis writes the style's art/narrative/director fields: await_jobs(style_id=...) before using the style. (Image/video FILE references require the multipart REST endpoint POST /styles.) Presets (instant, no analysis): presets={"art_style": id, "narrative_style": id, "director_style": id} — all three axes, ids from list_style_presets.

• analyze_video_report

  switch

  Run the FULL Switch Vision analysis on a video, the same premium report the Video Analysis page produces: it watches AND listens in three forensic passes and returns a structured report with every category: overview (scores and takeaways), a second by second timeline, audio, visual craft, story and retention, speech transcript, ready to run recreation prompts, and metadata. Pass video_url (a public https video URL, YouTube included) OR one of your own Switch video ids. For an external file also pass duration_seconds (YouTube and your own videos are measured automatically) because the analysis is billed per second. Optional question focuses the analysis. Returns a report_id right away; poll get_vision_report until status is succeeded (a few minutes). If it cannot finish, your tokens are returned automatically. For one quick question about a video use analyze_video instead; this tool is the full paid report.

• youfiliate_disconnect_youtube

  Youfiliate Smart Links

  Disconnect your YouTube account from Youfiliate. IMPORTANT: Always confirm with the user before executing this action. The `confirm` parameter must be set to true. This removes stored OAuth tokens. You will need to reconnect to use the auto-migration feature. Does NOT modify any YouTube data or video descriptions. Common errors: - Not connected: no YouTube account to disconnect. - confirm=False: you must set confirm=True after getting user confirmation.

  Connector

• ask_video

  Reka

  Ask a question about one or more videos with visual analysis. Most effective on focused time ranges — use start/end to specify the segment to analyze. BEFORE calling this tool, read the reka://docs/guide resource for recommended workflows. In most cases, you should first: - search_videos to find WHEN something happens, then pass those timestamps here as start/end - segment_video to detect and locate specific objects - get_transcript to read what was said For single-video questions, pass video_id with start/end. For cross-video questions, pass videos — a list of video references with start/end each. For follow-up questions, pass conversation_id from the previous response. You can add start/end to drill into a specific moment while keeping the conversation context. Requires qa_only or full pipeline.

• billing.get_portal

  Admin Substitute

  Get a Stripe Billing Portal URL for the human to manage their subscription — update payment methods, view invoices, change plans, or cancel. Requires an existing Stripe subscription.

  Connector

• vest_search_tools

  vest-mcp

  Search and browse AI tools available in Vest's cashback catalog. Returns names, slugs, categories, and live cashback rates. Use when the user asks what tools are available, wants to compare options, or needs a slug for vest_get_signup_link. Real triggers: 'what AI writing tools does Vest have?', 'show me coding tools with high cashback', 'find tools under $50/mo'. Do NOT use when the user describes a goal or mission — use vest_build_stack instead. Do NOT use to get a signup link — use vest_get_signup_link.

• glim_youtube_get

  glim.sh

  Fetch a YouTube video transcript from a video URL or 11-char id. The transcript is cleaned server-side: deduplicated, tags/HTML stripped, with coarse [m:ss] timestamps - roughly a tenth the size of the raw captions. Default format='text' returns it inline (when it fits ~40K chars / ~10K tokens) so a single call gives you the text directly; long-form videos fall back to a download_url note. Pass format='json' for the same transcript plus structured metadata and a presigned download_url - for batch/programmatic use. Default origin='uploader_provided' (human captions); falls back to 'auto_generated' automatically if missing (counts as 2 upstream calls). Cached 7 days server-side.

• youtube.search_autocomplete

  Vee3

  Get YouTube search autocomplete suggestions for a partial query. Returns the normalized query and an array of suggested search phrases. Optional language and location codes localize suggestions (defaults: en, US). Cost = 8 tokens.

  Organic TikTok keyword search (there is NO TikTok ad library) — top-performing videos to mine for hooks/trends/remixable creative.

• framefetch_search

  framefetch

  Search YouTube by keyword (yt-dlp, no login). Returns up to `limit` hits: url/title/uploader/durationSec/uploadDate(often null)/thumbnail/views. YouTube only — use framefetch_extract on a hit's url for transcript/frames/etc. Billed ~$0.002/call (metadata-tier), regardless of `limit`.
