yutu
Basic Information
yutu is a command line tool and MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to automate YouTube workflows and programmatically manipulate YouTube resources. The repository provides a fully functional CLI that can list and manage videos, playlists, channels, comments, captions, thumbnails, subscriptions and more. It includes an MCP server mode so it can be connected to MCP clients such as Claude Desktop, VS Code or Cursor to provide a chat-like interface for interacting with YouTube. The project requires Google Cloud OAuth credentials and issues a local token file for API access. Installation and distribution are supported via Docker, Homebrew, winget, a shell install script and go install, and the README documents configuration, authentication, MCP server setup and verification of signed attestations.
