    YouTube MCP for your AI agent

    Cogny's YouTube integration exposes 8 tools (8 read) to an AI agent over MCP. The same tools are available on every plan, from your own AI client or inside the Cogny app.

    • 0destructivedeletes, removes or replaces something.

    Over MCP your own AI client asks before it runs a write. To take a tool away from your agent, block it in Settings → Integrations. Plans, approvals and limits
