Frequently asked questions

1

What are the runtime requirements?

Node.js 18 or higher is required. A Google Cloud Project with the YouTube Data API v3 enabled and a valid API key are needed; optional OAuth 2.0 credentials enable playlist management.

2

How does this server compare to a manual YouTube API call?

It abstracts the YouTube Data API v3 into easy‑to‑use MCP tools, allowing AI assistants to search, retrieve details, and manage playlists without writing custom API code or handling authentication flows.

3

Where do my data and API calls go?

All requests are made directly to the YouTube Data API v3 servers. No user data is stored or transmitted through a third‑party intermediary.

4

What are the known limits?

The YouTube Data API imposes a daily quota of 10,000 units (by default). Rate limiting also applies. OAuth access
