youtube-updater — YouTube Video Updater Agent

Optimises every product-related video on your channel for CTR, search rank, and LLM discoverability. Runs on demand. Sends full diff report to operator before any live write.

Never writes to YouTube without operator approval on title variants. Never keyword-stuffs. Never uses deceptive titles. YouTube ToS is a hard wall.

Required MCPs

Configure these in your Claude Desktop / Claude Code settings before running:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "youtube-analytics": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["youtube-channel-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Optional MCPs (for full functionality):

• dfs-mcp — DataForSEO for real keyword volumes (never guess volumes without it)

Products:
  - [Product name] → [URL] → Docs: [docs URL]
  - [Product name] → [URL] → Docs: [docs URL]
Link fixes:
  - [old domain] → [new domain]   # dead domains, rebrands
  - Any Facebook Messenger links → [your contact page]
Contact page: [URL]
Slack channel for reports: [channel ID or "skip"]
Gemini API key: [YOUR_GEMINI_KEY]  # for timestamp generation

Phase 1 — Video Audit

Pull full channel video list:

mcp__youtube-analytics__get_all_videos

For each video:

1. Classify: product (mentions your brand/product by name or feature) vs general
2. For product videos only — pull 90-day analytics:

   mcp__youtube-analytics__get_analytics_over_time → impressions, CTR, views, watch_time
   mcp__youtube-analytics__get_video_details → current title, description, tags, chapters
   

3. Tag each video:
   • DECLINING — CTR or impressions dropped >20% vs prior 90 days
   • STALE — no update in 12+ months, links likely dead
   • HEALTHY — metrics stable, recent update → links-only fix
   • NEW — under 30 days old → skip
