YouTube for your AI agent: search videos, read comments, profile channels

RouterGrowth gives an agent YouTube as data through one MCP server: search videos by keyword, pull a channel's recent uploads, read the comments under a video and look up the channel profile. Each call is paid on its own, with no quota project to manage.

YouTube tools

What can your agent do on YouTube?

Each row is one tool your agent can call. The price is the lowest a successful call costs at list price; where a tool serves several networks it can differ by network, and the tool's own page lists each one. The exact figure is quoted before every run.

ToolWhat it returnsProvidersFrom

Every tool has a page with its input schema, its output fields and the price on each provider. Browse the whole catalog or see how plans lower every price.

In practice

What do you ask it?

You do not call tools by name. You describe the job, and the agent finds the tools, shows the price and runs them.

Connect

How do you connect it?

One MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, or the same calls over the CLI and REST. The example runs social.search.

MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http routergrowth https://api.routergrowth.com/mcp
CLI
npm install -g routergrowth && routergrowth setup
routergrowth run -c social.search -i '{"platform": "youtube", "query": "hubspot vs salesforce", "limit": 20}'
REST
curl -X POST https://api.routergrowth.com/v1/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ROUTERGROWTH_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"capability": "social.search", "input": {"platform": "youtube", "query": "hubspot vs salesforce", "limit": 20}}'

In claude.ai and ChatGPT, add https://api.routergrowth.com/mcp as a connector and approve the workspace in the browser. Setup for every client.

Worth knowing

What should you know before you start?

Read, not upload

The catalog reads YouTube. It does not upload, comment or manage a channel.

Comments at scale

Long comment sections are where buyers compare tools in their own words. social.comments returns them as records your agent can group.

No quota arithmetic

You pay per result returned, not per unit of a daily quota.
