Setup

Connect it in three steps

Works with Claude, Claude Code, Cursor and any MCP client that takes a custom header.

1

Create an API key

In TubeGen, open Settings → API Keys, pick the scopes and copy the key. It starts with tgk_ and is shown once.
2

Add the server

Add it as a custom connector in Claude, or paste the command or config below into your assistant.
3

Connect YouTube once

Connect your channel under YouTube in the app, so the assistant can upload to it.
In Claude: Customize → Connectors
→ Add custom connector

Name             TubeGen
Server URL       https://mcp.tubegen.ai/mcp
Authentication   No sign-in
Request header   authorization
Value            Bearer tgk_YOUR_KEY

Then turn TubeGen on in a chat: + → Connectors
Replace tgk_YOUR_KEY with your key. Full reference: docs.tubegen.ai/mcp
Request headers are still rolling out in Claude. If you don't see them in the dialog, use Claude Code for now. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner adds the connector under Organization settings → Connectors.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is a YouTube MCP server?

+

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server gives an AI assistant tools it can use. A YouTube MCP server gives it tools for YouTube work. Many only read YouTube data, like transcripts or channel stats. TubeGen's makes and publishes the video too.

What does an MCP server do?

+

It connects an AI assistant such as Claude to an outside service, so the assistant can take real actions instead of only writing text. With TubeGen's MCP server, those actions are niche research, video creation, rendering and YouTube uploads on your account.

Which AI assistants work with the TubeGen MCP?

+

Claude (the web and desktop app, as a custom connector), Claude Code and Cursor, with setup on this page. Any MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP and lets you add an Authorization header connects the same way.

Can an AI assistant upload videos to YouTube?

+

Yes, with the TubeGen MCP. Connect your channel once in the TubeGen app, and the assistant can upload a rendered video with its title, description and thumbnail.

How much does the TubeGen MCP cost?

+

Nothing extra. It's included on every paid TubeGen plan, from $149/mo, and each tool spends credits at the same price as in the app.

What can't the MCP do?

+

It can't cancel a generation once it starts, change billing or plans, manage teams or security settings, connect a YouTube channel, edit or delete voice clones, or edit the Video Editor timeline. Those stay in the app. Everything else in the video pipeline is available.

What is the best YouTube MCP server?

+

For making videos, TubeGen's, because one server covers the whole job from niche research to upload. If you only need transcripts or channel stats, a lighter read-only YouTube MCP is enough.

Connect your assistant to TubeGen and go from a niche idea to a published video.
