Prerequisiti

Le istruzioni di setup complete sono incluse nel connettore stesso (visibili nello store quando lo selezioni). Le variabili d'ambiente richieste sono:

YOUTUBE_API_KEY

Step 1 — Ottieni le credenziali

google.com/youtube/v3).

Setup:

  1. Create / pick a Google Cloud project at https://console.cloud.google.com.
  2. APIs & Services → Library → enable YouTube Data API v3.
  3. Credentials → Create credentials → API key. (For write operations, also do OAuth2 client + get a Bearer token with youtube.upload/youtube scopes — out of scope here.)
  4. Set YOUTUBE_API_KEY to the API key.

Authentication: query-string ?key=.... Read operations don't need OAuth.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Step 2 — Installa l'adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Aggiungi il connettore in Claude

Percorso consigliato — funziona su claude.ai web senza toccare alcun file di configurazione.

  1. Apri claude.ai/customize/connectors.
  2. Clicca "Add custom connector".
  3. Compila:
    • Name: YouTube Data API
    • URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → incolla la tua MCP API key (da AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Clicca Connect per autorizzare.
