What it does

YouTube Data MCP by usefulapi is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.

From the publisher's description, Electra Index matched it to one capability: social media management. That makes it a candidate for tasks such as manage social media accounts or monitor brand mentions.

Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence). None of this is a test of the tool.

9 tools offered to AI assistants

  • youtube_search · Search public videos, channels or playlists by keyword. COSTS 100 quota units per call (the default daily quota is 10,000 units), so prefer the get/list tools when you have ids. Returns ids and snippets; call youtube_get_videos for statisti

What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method

Is this your server? Monitoring Pro: a check every 30 minutes and an email within the hour when it stops answering. Launch offer: $39.99 once, for life.
