Hosted mode requires zero installation and works anywhere. Local stdio mode lets you run the MCP server locally with full control over your environment.
The Niche King MCP server is a standard HTTP-based MCP implementation (hosted mode) or stdio process (local mode). Continue reads from your config file and loads the tools natively.
All communication goes through Continue's secure MCP protocol. Your API key is sent only to the Niche King API server over HTTPS. Continue never sees your API key, and the server has no direct access to your workspace.
You can use the same MCP configuration across Continue, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, all your AI tools support the same MCP protocol.
No. MCP tools load on-demand, they only consume resources when you actually use them. Continue's MCP implementation is highly optimized for IDE performance. You can type and code normally; the YouTube tools sit quietly in the sidebar.
Hosted mode (SSE) connects to our remote MCP server, zero installation, works everywhere. Local mode (stdio) runs the MCP server on your machine, full control, best for offline work or strict network policies. Both use the same API key.
Yes. One API key works everywhere, Continue, VS Code, JetBrains, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, or any HTTP client. Just paste the same config with your API key into each client.
The MCP tools have full feature parity with the web app's AI generation tools. You can generate titles, scripts, thumbnails, descriptions, and more. The main difference is Continue is text-focused, thumbnail editing and emotion photo management are web-app only.
Your plan includes 500-5,000 API calls/day depending on tier. If you hit your daily limit, you can generate more calls by upgrading your plan or waiting until the limit resets at midnight UTC.
Absolutely. The REST API documentation is fully open at /developers. You can build custom MCP servers, Zapier workflows, Make.com scenarios, or any HTTP-capable platform using the same endpoints.
Zero installation. The hosted mode is a remote HTTP endpoint, Continue connects to it over the internet. No npm packages, no local dependencies. Just copy the JSON config.
All text generation uses Claude Sonnet (Anthropic). Thumbnail images use Google Gemini. Content grading uses Claude Haiku. Your niche research data is the secret, it trains every generation to match your audience.
Yes, if you've already set up a channel at app.nicheking.video, you can generate an API key and use all your niche research and settings in Continue. Create your channel on the web, then generate the key.
