YouTube Data API + ChatGPT

Read YouTube data — videos, channels, playlists, search, comments — and (with OAuth) manage your own uploads. 9 tools, API key + optional OAuth Bearer.

Предварительные требования

Полные инструкции по настройке встроены в коннектор (видны в магазине при выборе коннектора). Требуемые переменные окружения:

YOUTUBE_API_KEY

Шаг 1 — Получите учётные данные

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)

Шаг 2 — Установите адаптер

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

Шаг 3 — Добавьте коннектор в ChatGPT

ChatGPT поддерживает MCP-серверы через функцию Connectors (планы Plus / Pro / Team / Enterprise). Бесплатный план не поддерживает кастомные коннекторы.

  1. Откройте ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors (или нажмите 🔧 в composer → Manage connectors).
  2. Нажмите "Add custom connector".
  3. Заполните:
    • Name: YouTube Data API
    • MCP server URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → вставьте MCP API key
  4. Нажмите Connect.
