From the repository

Download the appropriate binary for your operating system from the Releases page, make it executable, then configure it in an MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop or Cursor) by setting the command path and the -client_secret_file argument pointing to your Google OAuth client_secret.json file. Follow the separate OAuth setup guide for obtaining that file.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

Visit the Releasespage and download the appropriate binary for your operating system:

- youtube-uploader-mcp-linux-amd64
- youtube-uploader-mcp-darwin-arm64
- youtube-uploader-mcp-windows-amd64.exe
- etc.

You can use the latest versioned tag, e.g.,v1.0.0.

chmod +x path/to/youtube-uploader-mcp-<os>-<arch>

3. Configure MCP (e.g., in Claude Desktop or Cursor)

{ "mcpServers": { "youtube-uploader-mcp": { "command": "/absolute/path/to/youtube-uploader-mcp-<os>-<arch>", "args": [ "-client_secret_file", "/absolute/path/to/client_secret.json(See Below)" ] } } }

To upload to YouTube, you must configure OAuth and get a client_secret.json file from the Google Developer Console.

➡️ Follow the guide inyoutube_oauth2_setup.mdfor a step-by-step walkthrough.

[!WARNING]Important: Sensitive OAuth Scope & Re-Authentication: Subtitle/caption upload relies on thehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-sslscope, which is required by the YouTube Data API to perform caption write operations.

- Existing Users: If you authenticated with an older version of this MCP, your saved token will lack this scope. Any calls attempting to upload subtitles will fail with a403 ForbiddenAPI error.
- How to Update: You must delete the channel cache file (usually.youtube_uploader_channels_cachein your working directory) and rerun theauthenticatetool to grant the new permissions.
- Google Console Warning: Adding this sensitive scope will trigger a warning screen in Google Cloud Console. Since this is for your personal use, you can safely proceed past the "unverified app" warnings.

The MCP server registers the following tools:
- authenticate: Generates the OAuth2 URL for authentication.
- accesstoken: Exchanges the code for user credentials and channel info.
- channels: Retrieves authenticated channels.
- refreshtoken: Force-refreshes tokens.
- upload_video: Uploads the video file and configures main details (title, description, tags, category, optional language, status, kids' flags, scheduled publish).
- update_video: Decoupled tool that manages post-upload configurations: adds the video to a playlist, uploads a custom thumbnail (must be <2MB), and attaches subtitle/caption tracks.
