YouTube Data API + Gemini

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

前提条件

完整的设置说明已内置在连接器中 (在 store 中选择连接器时可见)。所需环境变量:

YOUTUBE_API_KEY

步骤 1 — 获取凭证

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)

步骤 2 — 安装 adapter

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

步骤 3 — 在 Gemini 中添加连接器

Gemini CLI 从 ~/.gemini/settings.json (Windows: %APPDATA%\gemini\settings.json) 读取 MCP 服务器。添加:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "httpUrl": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
  1. 从 AnythingMCP 获取你的 MCP API key
  2. 保存文件并重启 gemini
  3. 在 Gemini CLI 中运行 /mcpYouTube Data API 应显示为可用。
  4. Vertex AI Studio: 将 https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp 传入请求的 tools 数组,使用相同的 Bearer 头。
