A YouTube MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes YouTube uploads as tools an AI agent can call. The Upload-Post MCP server lets ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any MCP client upload videos and Shorts, schedule them and pull analytics — no custom code.
Yes. The agent can upload vertical videos as Shorts with title, description and tags, and the built-in FFmpeg tools can trim or convert the clip first.
No. Upload-Post manages the YouTube connection and quotas for you — you connect your channel once and the MCP tools handle the rest.
The MCP server is free and open-source (MIT). It works with any Upload-Post plan, including the free tier.
Free to start, no credit card. Connect YouTube once and post from any MCP client.
