Youtube Shorts

Overview

Youtube Shorts is a Model Context Protocol server that retrieves YouTube Shorts data from a channel, including views, likes, and hashtags. Any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call Youtube Shorts's tools directly, with the model deciding when to use them in a conversation or agent run.

It's a hosted remote server running on Apify's infrastructure. Simply point your client at https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/youtube-shorts-api to connect — nothing to install locally. The service is paid and currently runs version v1.1.0. No authentication is required to use it.

Youtube Shorts is listed in the Development category on mcp.site and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others. If you maintain Youtube Shorts, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep the details current. Learn more at https://alphaosint.com/mcp/youtube-shorts/
