- Developed using the mcp-framework for MCP compliance
- Includes an example tool in src/tools/ExampleTool.ts
- CLI command to add new tools (mcp add tool)
- Supports local development with Claude Desktop
- Can be published to npm for broader use
- Uses TypeScript and Zod schema validation
Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
yt-mcp-serverCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Clone the repository, run npm install to install dependencies, then npm run build to compile the TypeScript. For local use, add the server’s path to the Claude Desktop config file; after publishing, use npx yt-mcp-server. New tools can be scaffolded with mcp add tool <name>.
Claude Desktop / Cursor

Adding Components
The project comes with an example tool in src/tools/ExampleTool.ts. You can add more tools using the CLI:
# Add a new tool
mcp add tool my-tool
Example tools you might create:
mcp add tool data-processor
mcp add tool api-client
mcp add tool file-handler
Tool Development
Example tool structure:
import { MCPTool } from "mcp-framework";
import { z } from "zod";
interface MyToolInput {
message: string;
}
class MyTool extends MCPTool<MyToolInput> {
name = "my_tool";
description = "Describes what your tool does";
schema = {
message: {
type: z.string(),
description: "Description of this input parameter",
},
};
async execute(input: MyToolInput) {
// Your tool logic here
return Processed: ${input.message};
}
}
export default MyTool;
Publishing to npm
1. Update your package.json:
- Ensure name is unique and follows npm naming conventions
- Set appropriate version
- Add description, author, license, etc.
- Check bin points to the correct entry file
2. Build and test locally:
npm run build
npm link
yt-mcp-server # Test your CLI locally
3. Login to npm (create account if necessary):
npm login
4. Publish your package:
npm publish
After publishing, users can add it to their claude desktop client (read below) or run it with npx
Using with Claude Desktop
Local Development
Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"yt-mcp-server": {
"command": "node",
"args":["/absolute/path/to/yt-mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
After Publishing
Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
