Overview
YouTube Uploader MCP is an AI-powered solution enabling YouTube video uploads directly from MCP clients such as Claude, Cursor, or VS Code without relying on a command-line interface or YouTube Studio. It emphasizes security by ensuring no secrets are shared with LLMs or third-party apps, while providing OAuth 2.0 authentication and robust token management for long-lived access. The server supports multi-channel workflows, allowing publishing from a single MCP setup to multiple YouTube channels. Installation is streamlined via a single command that downloads the MCP server, configures required permissions, and updates desktop tools (e.g., Claude Desktop) with the youtube-uploader-mcp server details, as well as printing a ready-to-use MCP configuration for other clients like VS Code or Cursor. The repository includes a dedicated YouTube API integration module (OAuth, video upload, config), authentication tooling, and token handling utilities. A manual installation path is also documented, including obtaining a client_secret.json from Google Developers Console.
