YouTube
YouTube tools let your AI assistant work with one channel your administrator connected: read the channel, page through videos already on it, read a caption track as text, and update titles, descriptions, tags, and privacy.
You describe what you want in plain language. Metadata changes happen only after you confirm.
These tools do not upload a new video, delete a video, or change the video file itself. Trimming or replacing the file stays in YouTube Studio.
The tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Get channel | Channel name, counts, and link details |
| List videos | Page through uploads with privacy and stats |
| Get video | Full metadata for one video |
| Get transcript | Caption track as plain text |
| Update video | Change metadata after you confirm |
How they work together
Get channel → who is connected, and how the channel is doing
List videos → find a video id
Get video → read the current title, description, and privacy
Get transcript → read what was said, when a caption track exists
Update video → change metadata only after you confirm
What you need
| Requirement | Read tools | Update |
|---|---|---|
| Metraclick connection | Yes | Yes |
| YouTube tools enabled | Yes | Yes |
| YouTube credentials (OAuth) | Yes | Yes |
You or your administrator connect YouTube with Authorize on the tenant’s Credentials tab in mcp.metraclick.com/app (see Manage your account). The Google account that consents must own the channel. You do not paste tokens into chat.
The OAuth client, API quota, and Google Cloud project belong to that channel’s owner. Metraclick does not provide a shared YouTube key.
