uvx youtube-kit

Or add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "youtube-kit": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "youtube-kit"
      ],
      "env": {
        "YOUTUBE_CHANNEL": "<YOUR_VALUE>",
        "YOUTUBE_API_KEY": "<YOUR_VALUE>"
      }
    }
  }
}
  • YOUTUBE_CHANNEL — Channel to work on by default (UC... ID, @handle or exact title), from the ones logged in with `ytk auth login`
  • YOUTUBE_API_KEY secret — API key for public data; without one, public reads go through your login

This server takes extra arguments — see its repository.
