YouTube MCP server
A YouTube MCP server lets an AI agent take real actions on YouTube — posting, replying and reading analytics — through the Model Context Protocol. Modiva hosts one: add your MCP key to any MCP client and 13 typed YouTube tools appear instantly.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is how AI clients like Claude and Cursor discover and call real tools. Modiva's hosted MCP server turns the YouTube API into 13 typed tools an agent can call directly — no glue code, no OAuth handling, no per-platform SDK. Connect YouTube once and the agent can act on it.
13 typed YouTube tools
Grouped by resource, not by platform — so the same tool names work across every connected account.

What is a YouTube MCP server?
It's a service that exposes YouTube capabilities as typed tools over the Model Context Protocol, so an AI agent can post, reply and read YouTube data instead of only generating text. Modiva hosts one you connect with a single key.
How do I connect the YouTube MCP server to Claude or Cursor?
Create a free Modiva account, connect YouTube, then add the server URL https://mcp.modiva.ai/v1 with your MCP key to your client. The YouTube tools are discovered automatically.
Do I need a YouTube developer app?
No. Modiva owns the reviewed YouTube app and manages OAuth and scopes, so you skip app review entirely and the agent can act right away.
