Connect Youvik to Claude and ChatGPT

Youvik has an MCP server, so an AI assistant can use Youvik's YouTube tools and work with your account: X-ray any YouTube channel, research what is winning on a topic, find open collabs with other creators, and read and write your ideas, video projects and folders. You connect it once with your Youvik sign-in. There are no API keys and nothing to install.

Server address: https://youvik.app/mcp

What you need

• A Youvik account. Every plan can connect, including Free.
• An assistant that supports remote MCP servers, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Claude Code.

Connect from Claude

• Open Youvik in the Claude directory and choose Connect.
• Youvik opens: sign in and approve the access.
• You can also add it by hand: Settings, then Connectors, "Add custom connector", with the server address above.

Connect from ChatGPT

• Open Settings, then the apps and connectors section, and turn on developer mode.
• Create a connector with the server address above and sign-in set to OAuth.
• Sign in to Youvik and approve the access.

Custom connectors in ChatGPT depend on your ChatGPT plan, and the menu names change between versions.

Connect from Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http youvik https://youvik.app/mcp

Then run /mcp inside Claude Code and sign in.

Things to ask once it is connected: "X-ray the channel @mkbhd and tell me which videos beat its average and why", "Research the topic budget travel in Portugal and propose three titles", "Are there open collabs for a gaming channel with 800 subscribers?", "Create a Youvik project for this idea and write the hook and outline".

Limits

The assistant works under your plan, with the same limits as youvik.app. Channel X-ray: 10 a month on Free, 10 a day on PRO, 25 a day on Ultimate. Topic research: 3 a month on Free, 3 a day on PRO, 10 a day on Ultimate. The Free plan includes one video project; PRO and Ultimate have no project limit. Nothing can be bought, paid or published to YouTube through the connection, and taking a seat in a collab happens on youvik.app.

Your data

The connection reaches your own ideas, video projects and folders, public YouTube data (through the YouTube Data API) and the open collabs board, and only while you keep it connected. Youvik does not receive your conversations: it receives the requests the assistant makes, such as the fields of a project to save. What the assistant reads from Youvik is handled by its provider under their terms. See our Privacy Policy.

To disconnect, remove the Youvik connector in your assistant's settings. Your Youvik data stays as it is.
