YouTube MCP Server (ZubeidHendricks)
ZubeidHendricks/youtube-mcp-server on GitHub
An MCP server with read-only tools for YouTube video, channel, playlist and transcript lookups, plus creator search filtered by subscriber count and recent uploads.
Access and use
Needs a YouTube Data API key in the environment, and each search spends that key's daily quota. It can fall back to a second and third key when one runs out, but the YouTube API Services Terms forbid getting round quota limits, so configure one key. Channel results can include emails found in public metadata, which are personal information; MIT licence.
Who it is for
Marketers using an MCP client to shortlist creators by size and activity.
