About YouTube
YouTube MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation that enables AI language models to interact with YouTube content through a standardized interface. It exposes 10 MCP tools covering video management, Shorts creation, and advanced analytics, including video retrieval, search with advanced filters, transcript fetching, channel information and search, creator discovery from video mentions, playlist management, and more. Built as an open-source project, it supports deployment via Docker or Smithery and requires a YouTube API key for operation.
