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

1Generate an API token below — this is the key your AI agent will use to authenticate.
2Copy the endpoint URL and token, then add them to your AI agent's MCP configuration.
3The 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.
