# YouTube Shorts Agent
Prepare, validate, and explicitly upload YouTube Shorts through the official YouTube Data API with dry-run safety.
## Use When
- installing or configuring YouTube Shorts Agent
- helping Claude, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw, or another MCP-compatible client use this project
- checking local-first privacy boundaries before reading or writing user data
## Canonical Links
- Repository: https://github.com/davidmosiah/youtube-shorts-agent
- Docs/site: https://www.npmjs.com/package/youtube-shorts-agent
- Package: youtube-shorts-agent
- MCP registry name: io.github.davidmosiah/youtube-shorts-agent
## Setup
- `npm exec --yes --package=youtube-shorts-agent -- youtube-shorts-agent doctor`
MCP client stdio shape:
```json

"mcpServers": {
"youtube-shorts-agent": {
"command": "npx",

"youtube-shorts-agent"
]
}
}
}
```
## Agent Surfaces
- YouTube OAuth readiness
- dry-run upload
- synthetic media metadata
- recent videos
- resumable upload
## Safety And Privacy
- Use only for user-owned channels and media. Never upload without explicit user intent and final confirmation.
- Do not print OAuth tokens, API keys, service-account JSON, local token files, or private user data.
- Prefer connection_status, manifest, doctor, privacy_audit, or dry-run surfaces before any write or live provider call.
- These tools are not medical, legal, financial, or platform-policy advice. Keep user consent explicit.
## Example Prompts
- Install and verify YouTube Shorts Agent for Claude Desktop without exposing secrets.
- Run the manifest, connection status, and privacy audit for YouTube Shorts Agent.
- Explain what user data YouTube Shorts Agent can expose and what should remain opt-in.
