"twitter:title": "YouTube MCP Server for Claude and ChatGPT" --- # YouTube MCP Server Let Your AI Run Your Shorts Calendar Connect Postpone to Claude, ChatGPT, or the AI you already use, and it can title, describe, and schedule YouTube Shorts from the videos in your library, move them when plans change, and tell you which ones got watched.

Want me to find videos in your library that have never gone to YouTube? ## **Connect YouTube to Your AI** ### Every Channel You Run, Reachable From the Chat Connect each YouTube channel to Postpone once, then add Postpone to your AI. From then on it can schedule Shorts to any of them, and everything it adds sits on your Postpone calendar, where you and your team can see it before it goes out. [**Postpone for AI Agents **](https://www.postpone.app/use-cases/agents) Claude Those five Shorts look good, so schedule one a day from Monday **Scheduled in Postpone** Five Shorts are on the Halden Studio calendar, one a day at 5:00 PM. The first three: - Monday, “The setting everyone misses”, from setup-tip.mp4 - Tuesday, “Before and after the redesign”, from redesign-cut.mp4 - Wednesday, “What a Friday deploy looks like”, from deploy-day.mp4 Each has a description ending in #Shorts. Want TikTok captions for the same five clips? ## **Schedule YouTube Shorts in Claude** ### A Week of Shorts From One Conversation Upload the clips once and ask for the week. Your AI finds each video in your content library, writes a title and a description from what you tell it, and schedules the Shorts at the times you choose once you say yes, or saves them as drafts for you to read first. [**The YouTube Shorts Scheduler **](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/youtube-shorts-scheduler) **ChatGPT** Move the demo Short so it goes out after the launch on Thursday **Updated in Postpone** Done. Here is Thursday now: - 4:00 PM, the launch Short, unchanged - 6:30 PM, the demo Short, moved from Tuesday at 5:00 PM Tuesday is empty now. Want a title for the demo that mentions the launch? ## **Manage YouTube Shorts in ChatGPT** ### Reorder Your Shorts in a Sentence When a launch moves or a video needs another pass, tell your AI. It finds the Shorts affected, moves them to the new slot, and rewrites a title or description that no longer fits, so a change of plan costs one message instead of an evening. Claude Which of my Shorts got the most views last month? **Checked with Postpone** Your top three Halden Studio Shorts by views last month: - “Before and after the redesign”, 48,200 views and 1,930 likes - “The setting everyone misses”, 31,700 views and 1,210 likes - “Two minutes on pricing, no slides”, 22,400 views and 640 likes The top two both promise a result in the title. Want me to title the next three that way? ## **YouTube Analytics in Claude** ### See Which Shorts People Actually Watch Ask which Shorts worked and get an answer instead of a dashboard: views, likes, and comments for every Short, and how each channel’s subscriber count has moved. The same AI can schedule, so the videos worth repeating become next week’s calendar. [**Postpone Analytics **](https://www.postpone.app/features/analytics) ## What Your AI Can Do on YouTube All of it in plain language, on your real YouTube channels, and every result shows up in Postpone. - ### Schedule Shorts to Any Channel Post to one channel or several from the same chat. Ask for a Short on each and get a title written for that channel’s audience, not one copied twice. - ### Use Videos You Haven’t Posted Your AI searches your Content Library for the video you mean, including only the ones that have never gone to YouTube, and attaches it without a re-upload. - ### Titles and Descriptions That Fit Every Short gets a title and a description that fit the video. Ask for a hook, a hashtag, or a line pointing viewers at your next upload, and it rewrites them. - ### Change the Calendar by Asking Move, retitle, or delete scheduled Shorts in a sentence. Your AI can check what else is scheduled that week before it moves anything. - ### Find the Shorts That Get Watched Views, likes, and comments for every Short, ranked however you ask, and what the most watched ones have in common. - ### Track Subscriber Growth See how each channel’s subscriber count has moved by day, week, or month, and which Shorts were going out when it jumped. ## Use YouTube MCP With the AI You Already Use Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and other MCP clients all connect to the same Postpone server, so your Shorts calendar goes wherever you already work. - [![Claude logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/icons/claude.svg)**Claude**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/claude) - [![ChatGPT logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/openai.svg)**ChatGPT**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/chatgpt) - [![Gemini logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/gemini.svg)**Gemini**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/gemini) - [![Grok logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/grok.svg)**Grok**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/grok) - [![Perplexity logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/perplexity.svg)**Perplexity**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/perplexity) - [![Mistral Vibe logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/mistral.svg)**Mistral Vibe**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/mistral-vibe) - [![Microsoft Copilot logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/copilot.svg)**Microsoft Copilot**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/microsoft-copilot) - [![Muse logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/muse.svg)**Muse**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/muse) - [![Cursor logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/icons/cursor.svg)**Cursor**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/cursor) - [![VS Code logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/icons/vscode.svg)**VS Code**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/vscode) - [![OpenClaw logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/icons/openclaw.svg)**OpenClaw**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/openclaw) - [![n8n logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/icons/n8n.svg)**n8n**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/n8n) - [![Raycast logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/icons/raycast.png)**Raycast**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/raycast) - [![Zapier logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/zapier-icon.svg)**Zapier**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/zapier) [**Browse all integrations **](https://www.postpone.app/integrations) ## Take Your AI Beyond YouTube The same connection to Postpone reaches ten more platforms, so one chat can plan the whole week.

The MCP server is included on every paid plan, including the free trial. 1. 1 ### Sign in with Google Sign in with the Google account that owns your channel and pick which channel to connect. Your AI can only reach the channels you choose. 2. 2 ### Add Postpone to your AI Point Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client at https://api.postpone.app/mcp and sign in to Postpone, or paste a Postpone API key if your client asks for one. There is no Google password to hand over. 3. 3 ### Ask for something “What Shorts are scheduled this week?” is a good first question: it only reads, so it proves the connection before anything is written.

Not only does it make posting to multiple accounts really easy, but proper Bluesky support has also helped us keep in touch with our readers there as well. Our favourite feature is the post creation screen; being able to build the same post for multiple platforms, but then make slight tweaks to each to suit each platform's needs, and also be able to control their timing, all from the one section, has been fantastic. *![Portrait of Luke Plunkett](https://www.postpone.app/_vercel/image?url=%2Fimages%2Favatar-luke-plunkett.jpg&w=160&q=78)**Luke Plunkett** Co-Founder, AftermathPosts to X, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube and Bluesky* ## **YouTube MCP FAQs** Questions About the YouTube MCP Server What your AI can do on YouTube, what it cannot, and how it connects. Still have questions? Check out our help center for answers to most of your questions, or reach out to our support team. [**Visit the Help Center **](https://help.postpone.app/) [**Contact us **](https://www.postpone.app/contact) ### **What is a YouTube MCP server?** A YouTube MCP server lets an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT work with your YouTube channel through the Model Context Protocol, the open standard AI clients use to call outside tools. Postpone’s is hosted, so there is nothing to install: you connect YouTube to Postpone, add Postpone to your AI, and it can schedule Shorts and read how they performed. [**Read the MCP guide **](https://help.postpone.app/ai/agents-and-mcp/introduction) ### **Can I schedule YouTube Shorts with ChatGPT or Claude?** Yes, Postpone lets you schedule YouTube Shorts from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, or any other MCP client. Ask for a Short, confirm the title, the description, and the video, and it lands on your Postpone calendar at the time you named, as a draft, or in the next open slot of your YouTube schedule. In ChatGPT, adding Postpone takes developer mode, which OpenAI offers on its paid plans. [**Postpone for ChatGPT **](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/chatgpt) ### **Can it upload long YouTube videos, or only Shorts?** Postpone schedules YouTube Shorts only, whether you use the AI or the app. Long-form uploads, premieres, playlists, and custom thumbnails are not part of Postpone’s YouTube support, so an AI connected to Postpone cannot set them either. [**Scheduling YouTube Shorts **](https://help.postpone.app/platforms/youtube/scheduling-shorts) ### **Can the AI get transcripts, search YouTube, or read other channels?** No, Postpone’s YouTube MCP server does not fetch transcripts, search YouTube, read other people’s channels, or reply to comments. It works on the channels you connect: scheduling Shorts, changing the calendar, and reporting how your own videos performed. It never logs in as you; Postpone publishes through the Google connection you approved yourself. ### **Which settings does a Short scheduled by my AI use?** A Short your AI schedules is published publicly and marked as not made for kids, with the title and description it wrote. If a video should be unlisted or private, is made for children, or needs YouTube’s altered content disclosure, set that in Postpone’s YouTube composer, where every Short your AI schedules is waiting to edit before it goes out. [**Scheduling YouTube Shorts **](https://help.postpone.app/platforms/youtube/scheduling-shorts) ### **Which YouTube metrics can my AI see?** Your AI can see views, likes, comments, and total engagements for every Short Postpone tracks, plus each channel’s subscriber count over time. Ask for your most watched Shorts over any period your plan’s analytics history covers, or compare one channel against another. [**See what analytics covers **](https://www.postpone.app/features/analytics) ### **Can my AI write the title and description for a Short?** Yes, your AI writes a title and a description for every Short it schedules, and can rewrite either before the Short goes out. The title is required, so it never schedules one without. [**Scheduling YouTube Shorts **](https://help.postpone.app/platforms/youtube/scheduling-shorts) ### **Can I connect more than one YouTube channel?** Yes, you can connect as many YouTube channels as your Postpone plan allows, and your AI posts to whichever channel you name. Ask for the week on each and it keeps them apart. [**The YouTube Shorts scheduler **](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/youtube-shorts-scheduler)
