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.
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"niche-king": {
"url": "https://mcp.nicheking.video/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer sk-nk-your-key-here"

}
}
}Single terminal command:
claude mcp add niche-king \ --transport http \ --url https://mcp.nicheking.video/api/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer sk-nk-your-key-here"
Settings → MCP → Add global server. Use the same hosted JSON config as Claude Desktop.
Cursor natively supports MCP servers — all 12 YouTube tools appear in your AI sidebar.
Command Palette → MCP Config. Paste the hosted JSON config. All tools available instantly.
Works with Windsurf's Cascade and Flows features for automated YouTube content workflows.

"Analyze my niche and tell me my top content gaps"Plan your week, batch-generate titles, scripts, descriptions, and thumbnail strategies for every scheduled video — without leaving Claude.
"Plan my content for this week and generate scripts for each video"Paste a YouTube URL, get clip timestamps, rewritten hooks, text overlays, and platform-specific recommendations for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok.
"Find the best clip moments in this video and write hooks for each"Run a niche health check, content audit, or competitive gap analysis. Claude gives you specific actions based on your actual data, not generic advice.
"Run a content audit and tell me what I should focus on this month"Use the REST API to build custom integrations, dashboards, or automation workflows. The same API that powers the MCP server is available via HTTP.
curl -X POST .../api/v1/generate/titlesClaude saves your content preferences, style decisions, and feedback. Next time you ask for titles or scripts, it already knows your voice.
"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 project (one YouTube channel). You can create up to 10 projects 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.
Every Niche King plan includes full MCP and API access. AI YouTube Strategist ($197/mo) gets 500 API calls/day. Group Coaching ($497/mo) gets 2,000/day. The Inner Circle ($1,497/mo) gets 5,000/day.
12 AI tools. Niche research. Content generation. Creator memory. All inside your AI assistant.
