What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI agents — like Claude, ChatGPT, or custom bots — connect to your YouTube Music library. Once connected, an agent can list playlists, search for music, add or remove tracks, and create new playlists on your behalf.
Manual setup
- Generate an API token below — this is the key your AI agent will use to authenticate.
- Copy the endpoint URL and token, then add them to your AI agent's MCP configuration.
- The agent can now call any of the available tools listed below to manage your library.
After connecting
Just tell Claude:
"Organize my liked music into playlists by season, year and genre"
"Analyze my liked music and sort into playlists like winter-2026-ambient"
Claude will read the MCP server instructions, fetch your liked tracks, classify genres for each one, group by season + year + genre, create playlists and add tracks.
Get your token from the API Token section below.
