YouTube

YouTube extends your AI assistant with the ability to youTube Data API integration with managed OAuth. Search videos, manage playlists, access channel data, and interact with comments. Use this skill when users want to interact with YouTube. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly — and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using YouTube as its underlying capability.

YouTube works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install YouTube once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.

YouTube installs like any other MCP skill: drop the folder into `~/.claude/skills/youtube-api-skill/` for global access, or `.claude/skills/youtube-api-skill/` to keep it scoped to one project. After a quick restart of Claude, you can trigger it explicitly with `/youtube-api-skill`, or let the AI decide when it's the right tool for your request.

With 24,399 installs, YouTube has built a substantial following in the Data & Analytics space. That install count reflects consistent demand from developers and teams who've found it genuinely useful. The source code is open on GitHub — you can inspect it, contribute fixes, or fork it to adapt the skill for your specific setup. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
