工具名称和描述与服务器在 2026年11月6日 报告的完全一致。这些内容由作者撰写,不是我们写的;我们以纯文本形式显示。
youtube_searchSearch public videos, channels or playlists by keyword. COSTS 100 quota units per call (the default daily quota is 10,000 units), so prefer the get/list tools when you have ids. Returns ids and snippets; call youtube_get_videos for statistics. API: GET /search.
youtube_get_videosGet details for up to 50 videos by id: title, description, tags, publish date, duration, view/like/comment counts and privacy status. 1 quota unit per call. API: GET /videos?id=.
youtube_list_popular_videosList the most popular videos of a region, optionally within one video category. 1 quota unit per call. API: GET /videos?chart=mostPopular.
youtube_get_channelsGet public channel details (title, description, custom URL, country, subscriber/view/video counts, uploads playlist id) by channel ids, by @handle or by legacy username. Give exactly one of channel_ids, handle, username. 1 quota unit. API: GET /channels.
youtube_list_playlistsList the public playlists of a channel, or get playlists by id (give exactly one of channel_id, playlist_ids). 1 quota unit. API: GET /playlists.
youtube_list_playlist_itemsList the videos in a playlist. Use the uploads playlist id from youtube_get_channels (contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.uploads) to list all uploads of a channel for 1 quota unit instead of a 100-unit search. API: GET /playlistItems.
youtube_list_comment_threadsList top-level public comments (with reply counts and a few replies) of one video, or of all videos of one channel. Give exactly one of video_id, channel_id. Fails with HTTP 403 when comments are disabled. 1 quota unit. API: GET /commentThreads.
youtube_list_comment_repliesList all replies to one top-level comment (use the comment id of a thread from youtube_list_comment_threads). 1 quota unit. API: GET /comments?parentId=.
youtube_list_video_categoriesList the video categories (id and title) that exist in a region. Use the ids to filter youtube_list_popular_videos. 1 quota unit. API: GET /videoCategories.

注册中心没有列出必需的密钥,不过有些服务器会在首次使用时要求你登录。
它在作者的云端运行。通过互联网连接,无需安装,但你发送的内容会经过作者的服务器。
GitHub 仓库最后更新于–,最新版本(1.2.3)于昨天进入注册中心。
支持 MCP 的应用,例如 Claude Desktop、Claude Code、Cursor 和 VS Code。它通过 URL 连接,所以接受远程 MCP 服务器的应用也可以使用,例如开启开发者模式的 ChatGPT。

Use your YouTube account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Search videos and read videos, channels, playlists, comments and popular videos through the YouTube Data API. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://youtube-data.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
https://youtube-data.usefulapi.io/mcp.claude mcp add --transport http youtube-data https://youtube-data.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.{
"mcpServers": { "youtube-data": { "url": "https://youtube-data.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your YouTube Data credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/youtube-data/
On first connect you provide a YouTube Data API key (Google Cloud Console → APIs & Services → Credentials, with YouTube Data API v3 enabled). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
