MCP.Pizza Chef: eat-pray-ai
This connects a YouTube channel to whatever assistant you already use, so the repetitive channel chores stop being manual. It can publish a finished video with its title, description, tags and thumbnail, sort videos into playlists, reply to comments, update channel branding, and pull view and engagement numbers. Setup runs through your own Google Cloud project, so your channel access never passes through anyone else. Free and open source, with installers for npm, Homebrew, Docker, WinGet and Go.

yutu FAQ
Can I use this to publish a video without opening YouTube?
Yes — hand it the file and the details and it uploads and publishes for you.
Do I need to set anything up with Google?
Yes. You create a Google Cloud project, switch on the YouTube Data API, and download an OAuth credential file.
Which apps does it work in?
Cursor and VS Code are documented, and it runs anywhere that speaks MCP.
How hard is setup?
The Google console part is the fiddly bit — budget some time for it. After that a single command authorises your channel.
Does it cost anything?
No. It is free and open source, and it uses your own channel's free daily quota.
Can it see my channel analytics?
Yes, provided you also switch on the YouTube Analytics API during setup.
