Frequently Asked Questions
Expert answers for creators and developers
What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
MCP is an open standard introduced by Anthropic that allows AI agents, large language models, and development tools to securely read data and execute operations through a standardized API schema. It provides a universal way for AI applications to connect to external data sources without requiring custom integrations.
Is my YouTube channel data safe when using MCP?
Absolutely. The Vidanalyze MCP Server utilizes OAuth 2.0 authorization flows. Third-party applications never receive your login credentials or raw API tokens. All data transmission is encrypted via HTTPS, and access can be revoked instantly from your Vidanalyze Settings page.
Which AI clients support Vidanalyze MCP?
Vidanalyze MCP works with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT (via MCP plugin), Cursor IDE, Windsurf, and any other client that supports the Model Context Protocol Streamable HTTP transport standard.
Can I connect multiple AI clients simultaneously?
Yes, you can register and authorize multiple distinct clients — for example, Claude Desktop on your workstation and Cursor IDE in your development environment — each with their own independently revocable OAuth tokens.
Does MCP integration cost extra?
No. MCP integration is included in all paid Vidanalyze plans. The MCP server reads the same data available in your dashboard without consuming additional API credits.
What data can AI clients access through MCP?
Connected clients can access public channel statistics, subscriber growth history, video performance metrics, engagement rates, estimated revenue data, and audience demographic breakdowns — all scoped to the channels you have connected to your Vidanalyze account.
