YouTube MCP Serverfor AI agents
One MCP server to scrape YouTube videos, transcripts, comments and channels.
Set up in three steps.
Select your agent and run the setup. The server uses browser sign-in, so the setup has no API key.
What people use it for.
Summarize what videos say
The agent calls youtubeSearch with a topic, then youtubeTranscript with each videoId. It gives the text to a model and gets one summary of several videos.
Audit a channel
The agent calls youtubeChannel with tab set to videos and sort set to popular. It then calls youtubeVideo with each videoId to read the likes, the tags and the chapters.
Read how viewers react
The agent calls youtubeSearch to find videos on one topic. It then calls youtubeComments on each video and reads the comments with the most likes.

Questions and answers.
Run claude mcp add --transport http stophy https://mcp.stophy.dev/mcp. Then run /mcp in Claude Code, pick stophy and choose Authenticate. You sign in with your browser, so there is no key to copy.
No. Your agent calls Stophy, so you need no YouTube API key and no YouTube login.
The agent gets stophy_search_endpoints, stophy_describe_endpoint and stophy_call, which reach every YouTube endpoint. The YouTube endpoints are YouTube Suggestions, YouTube Search, YouTube Transcript, YouTube Video, YouTube Comments, YouTube Channel, YouTube Post and YouTube Playlist. Add ?toolsets=youtube to the server address to also get one tool per YouTube endpoint.
No. The tools read what YouTube shows a visitor who is not signed in. They cannot post, comment, send messages or log in.
Most endpoints cost 1 credit for each call that returns data. stophy_search_endpoints lists the price of each endpoint. A call that returns an error or an empty list uses 0 credits. A new account has 1,000 credits.
Any MCP client that connects to a Streamable HTTP server and supports OAuth. This page has the setup for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, Hermes and OpenClaw.
