README

youtube-mcp

OAuth-authenticated YouTube MCP for channel owners. Edit video metadata, reply to and moderate comments, manage playlists, query channel analytics, and generate or set AI thumbnails via a ComfyUI bridge. Goes beyond the read-only Data API v3 wrappers that dominate this space.

The pitch

Most existing YouTube MCPs use an API key against Data API v3. Search videos, fetch public metadata, read-only. This one uses OAuth 2.0 (Authorization Code + PKCE) so it can actually write to your channel: update video titles, descriptions and tags, reply to comments, moderate spam, manage playlists. It also hits the separate YouTube Analytics API for channel stats, and generates a thumbnail via ComfyUI and pushes it to YouTube in a single MCP call.

Claude, use generate_and_set_thumbnail on video abc123:
  prompt: "cyberpunk hacker at keyboard, neon blue and pink, high contrast"

ComfyUI renders 1280×720, youtube-mcp fetches the bytes, and POSTs to thumbnails.set. Done.

Install

# npx, no install
npx @miller-joe/youtube-mcp --help

# Docker
docker run -p 9120:9120 \
  -e YOUTUBE_CLIENT_ID=... \
  -e YOUTUBE_CLIENT_SECRET=... \
  -e YOUTUBE_TOKEN_FILE=/token/token.json \
  -v $PWD/token:/token \
  ghcr.io/miller-joe/youtube-mcp:latest

Setup: Google Cloud one-time (~10 min)

Google account plus YouTube channel. Use a personal account, not a workspace one you might lose.
Google Cloud project at https://console.cloud.google.com. Call it whatever you want (e.g. youtube-mcp).
Enable APIs:
- YouTube Data API v3
- YouTube Analytics API
OAuth consent screen: External, App name, support email. In Scopes, add:
- youtube.upload
- youtube.force-ssl
- yt-analytics.readonly
Stay in Testing mode. Add yourself as a test user (required). As the project owner, your refresh token won't expire.
Create OAuth Client ID: Application type = Desktop app. Download the JSON.
Run the interactive auth flow:
```
npx @miller-joe/youtube-mcp --auth --client-secret-file ./client_secret.json
```
A browser opens, you log in to the Google account tied to your YouTube channel, and grant the requested scopes. On success, a refresh token is saved to ~/.config/youtube-mcp/token.json.
Start the server:
```
npx @miller-joe/youtube-mcp --client-secret-file ./client_secret.json
```
Or provide the client credentials via env: YOUTUBE_CLIENT_SECRET_FILE, or YOUTUBE_CLIENT_ID + YOUTUBE_CLIENT_SECRET.

Connect an MCP client

claude mcp add --transport http youtube http://localhost:9120/mcp

Or point your MCP gateway at the Streamable HTTP endpoint.
