Frequently asked questions
What is the YouTube MCP server?
It's the HubPost MCP server used with your YouTube account. Connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client and your agent can draft, schedule and publish YouTube posts through HubPost. It's built by HubPost, not by YouTube.
Can Claude post to YouTube?
Yes. Add HubPost to Claude from the Claude directory, or with one command in Claude Code, then sign in and ask Claude to schedule or publish your next post on YouTube.
Can ChatGPT post to YouTube?
Yes. Add the HubPost app in ChatGPT, sign in, and mention @HubPost when you ask it to draft, schedule or publish posts on YouTube.
What can my agent post on YouTube?
YouTube videos and shorts, with text up to 5,000 characters. Your agent can also set the title, tags, the category, visibility, the license, the made-for-kids setting, subscriber notifications, embedding, and the AI-generated label.
Can my agent see my YouTube analytics?
Yes. For each published YouTube post your agent can read the numbers YouTube reports, such as views, comments and shares, including posts you published in the YouTube app. Ask which posts did best and plan the next ones around them.
What do I need to connect YouTube?
You need a HubPost account and a YouTube channel (it's linked to your Google account). Connect it in HubPost, then add the MCP server to your agent and sign in.
Can my agent change YouTube posts that are already live?
No. Your agent can edit, reschedule or delete drafts and scheduled posts, but once a post is published on YouTube it can't be changed or removed from HubPost.
Will my agent post without asking me?
Most AI clients ask you to approve each tool call before it runs. You can also ask for drafts instead of scheduled posts: a draft never goes out until you schedule it.
Is the YouTube MCP free?
Yes. The MCP server is included in every HubPost plan, including the free plan. Plan limits, such as how many accounts you can connect, apply the same way as in the app.
