Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

balance
check_balance
Free. Show the remaining credit balance for the API key sent in this connection's Authorization header. Call this before a long run of paid requests.
data
fetch_data
Paid. Fetch live data from any YouTube endpoint. Pass the endpoint path plus its parameters (path and query parameters together in `params`). Priced per call in USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad or Solana: pay with x402, or send an Authorization: Bearer bby_live_... header to spend prepaid credits. Call describe_endpoint first if unsure about parameters.
describe
describe_endpoint
Free. Show the full call signature for one endpoint: required and optional parameters, allowed values, price, and response shape.
endpoints
search_endpoints
Free. Search fetcher.sh's YouTube endpoints by keyword. Returns paths, descriptions and per-call prices. Start here.
topup
topup_credits
Paid (the amount you choose, minimum $1). Buy prepaid credits with x402 so later calls skip the per-call payment round trip. With an Authorization: Bearer bby_live_... header on this connection it recharges that key. Without one, the paying wallet becomes the account and a new API key is minted and returned once — store it as a secret, it cannot be recovered.
youtube
youtube_search_video
Paid ($0.005). Search video — YouTube. Live data as JSON. Pay with x402 or an Authorization: Bearer bby_live_... credits key.

YouTube data for agents — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can YouTube data for agents do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_balance, describe_endpoint, fetch_data, search_endpoints, topup_credits, youtube_search_video. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is YouTube data for agents working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 484 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect YouTube data for agents?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does YouTube data for agents need an API key?
No. YouTube data for agents completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is YouTube data for agents?
It answers our handshake in 484 ms on average, which is faster than 25% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
