YouTube MCP by UnClick — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for YouTube MCP by UnClick?
YouTube MCP by UnClick runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @unclick/youtube-mcp was installed 24 times last week.
Is YouTube MCP by UnClick still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect YouTube MCP by UnClick?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls @unclick/youtube-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use YouTube MCP by UnClick?
The npm package @unclick/youtube-mcp was installed 24 times in the last week. Week over week that is +33%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
