vidIQ MCP Credits & Tools

YouTube AI Tools Included

14 features. 5 credits per call. Real YouTube intelligence inside any MCP-compatible AI tool.

  • Find keywords your competitors are sleeping on

    Ask your AI "what should I title my next cooking short?" and get real search volume, competition scores, and rising queries. The kind of research that used to take 20 minutes now happens mid-conversation.

  • Spot videos that blew up for a reason

    Identifies videos that massively outperformed their channel's average. Ask "why did this video get 10x more views than usual?" and your AI will have the actual data. View velocity, timing, format patterns.

  • Audit any channel in seconds

    Subscribers, upload frequency, view trends, engagement rate. All in one call. Your AI can compare your channel to a competitor without you copy-pasting a single number from the browser.

  • See what formats are blowing up right now

    Not last week. Right now. Filter by category and region. Ask "what topics are getting traction in personal finance this week?" and get a real, data-backed list. No hallucinations.

  • Find creators before they go mainstream

    Channels gaining serious momentum before the algorithm pushes them everywhere. Great for spotting trends early, finding collab targets, or understanding what new formats are gaining traction in your niche.

MCP for Claude: Common Questions

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI tools connect to external data sources. vidIQ's MCP server gives Claude, Cursor, Codex, and others direct access to your YouTube analytics so you can ask questions in plain English and get real, data-backed answers. It's the fastest way to get real YouTube channel data and analytics directly inside Claude.

No. vidIQ's MCP server is strictly read-only. AI tools can query and surface insights, but they cannot post videos, change settings, or modify anything on your channel.

Any tool that supports the MCP protocol: Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, and others. If your tool supports MCP, vidIQ works with it.

Yes. API keys are specific to MCP access, are revocable at any time, and are never shared with third-party AI providers. vidIQ only sends data in response to your explicit queries.
