No separate API pricing. Subscribe to any plan, generate your API key, and connect instantly.
Niche King is a strategy and AI content tools platform. We do not film, edit, or upload videos on your behalf.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude connect to external tools and data sources. The Niche King MCP Server gives Claude (and other AI clients) direct access to 12 YouTube strategy tools, niche research, title generation, script writing, thumbnail creation, content planning, and more.
Instead of switching between apps, you talk to Claude and it uses your niche data, research patterns, and voice samples to generate content that's actually on-brand. Think of it as giving your AI assistant a YouTube strategy brain.
This is the first and most comprehensive YouTube-focused MCP server available, with AI content generation, niche analysis, competitive research, content scheduling, creator memory, and performance analytics all in one integration.
Connect Niche King to your preferred AI client. Hosted mode (recommended) requires zero installation, just paste the config.

"Remember that I prefer curiosity-gap titles over how-to titles"Every Niche King API endpoint is available via REST, the same endpoints that power our MCP server. If you're building your own MCP server, AI agent, or YouTube automation tool, you can call our API directly.
Use our 31 REST endpoints as the backend for your custom MCP server, Zapier workflows, Make.com scenarios, or any HTTP-capable platform. Full OpenAPI spec available.

With the Niche King MCP server, Claude can directly generate YouTube titles, scripts, thumbnails, and descriptions using your actual niche research data, not generic templates. It's like giving Claude a YouTube strategy brain trained on your specific audience.
No. The hosted mode works by simply adding a JSON config to your AI client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf). Zero installation, zero dependencies. There's also an optional local npm package if you prefer stdio transport.
The MCP server gives AI clients native tool access, Claude can decide which tools to call based on your conversation. With the REST API, you build your own integrations and call specific endpoints manually. Both use the same backend. Many developers use the REST API to build their own MCP servers or custom automations.
Absolutely. All 31 REST API endpoints are available via HTTP with your API key. You can build a custom MCP server that calls our API, create Zapier/Make.com workflows, or integrate into any platform that can make HTTP requests.
Each API key is tied to one channel. You can create up to 10 channels per account and generate separate API keys for each. Switch between channels by using different keys.
Yes. The thumbnail tool auto-loads your emotion reference photos from the database and generates full production-ready images via Google Gemini at 2K resolution (16:9). Guest images, object photos, and custom backgrounds are currently web-app only.
All text generation uses Claude Sonnet (Anthropic). Thumbnail image generation uses Google Gemini. Content grading uses Claude Haiku for speed. Your niche research data is the real secret, it trains every generation to be specific to your audience.
