Manage YouTube content including videos, channels, playlists and creator operations. Search content, organize media, publish updates and interact with YouTube resources programmatically.
Visual Studio Code runs MCP servers for Copilot Chat in agent mode, so the model can use external tools while it works on your code.
This guide connects YouTube to VS Code through MewCP, so VS Code can use YouTube's 16 tools, like get_my_channel, get_my_playlists and get_my_subscriptions, without your YouTube credentials ever reaching the app.
YouTube signs in through managed OAuth. MewCP stores the token encrypted, refreshes it before it expires and injects it only at call time. Your agent never holds it, so it can never leak it.

Other clients
YouTube works the same way in every client below. Pick yours for its own guide.
Free to start.
Scope access to the exact YouTube tools and accounts you allow, work and personal side by side. Anything outside that scope is refused at call time, even when the model asks for it.
Each call is logged: what ran, on which account, and whether it worked. Failures come back structured, so the agent knows whether to retry instead of guessing.
Every app sits behind one secure MCP URL, and there is no server for you to deploy or keep running. Add an integration in the dashboard and it is live on the next call, with no config to change and no new credentials to wire up. Tools load only when a task needs them, so your agent stays fast and focused however many apps you connect.
A browser window opens the first time the client connects. Sign in and approve access. No API key needed.
Start a new chat and ask: "List the tools you can use from MewCP." You should see your connected apps.
