yutu

Overview

yutu is a Model Context Protocol server that automates YouTube channel growth with AI-powered tools. Rather than switching between applications, you can call yutu's capabilities directly from AI assistants like Claude, letting automation run on your channel while you focus on content creation.

The server runs locally via the npm package @eat-pray-ai/yutu, communicating over stdio with your MCP client. You'll need to provide YUTU_CREDENTIAL and YUTU_CACHE_TOKEN environment variables for authentication. The latest release is v0.10.11-dev3, published under Apache-2.0 license with source code available at eat-pray-ai/yutu on GitHub, where it has gained 622 stars.

yutu is listed in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain yutu for eat-pray-ai, you can claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
