Connect YouTube to ChatGPT

Give ChatGPT your real YouTube history — videos and Shorts, titles and descriptions, view and interaction counts, and subscriber history — so it answers from what you actually published instead of guessing. Connecting is free.

How to connect YouTube to ChatGPT

  1. 1
    Connect YouTube to Mysocial. One OAuth approval. Mysocial reads your catalogue so it is ready before ChatGPT asks for it.
  2. 2
    On ChatGPT web, confirm your plan and workspace allow Developer mode and custom MCP apps. Ask your workspace administrator to enable access if needed.
  3. 3
    With access enabled, open Apps → Create in your user or workspace settings and add a custom app at https://app.mysocial.io/mcp using OAuth.
  4. 4
    Sign in to Mysocial and approve. ChatGPT now works from the channels you have connected.

Free does not include Developer mode. OpenAI currently documents full custom MCP support for Business, Enterprise and Edu with workspace controls. Plugins use a separate installation path and support web, desktop and mobile, subject to account availability and desktop-only exceptions.

What to ask ChatGPT once your videos and Shorts are connected

  • “Which videos beat my channel average, and what do their first 30 seconds share?”

  • “Separate my Shorts from my long-form and compare how each performs.”

  • “Which older videos are still earning views, and what are they about?”

  • “What did my best-performing titles do differently?”

None of these are answerable from a screenshot or a pasted export. They need your whole catalogue, and they need ChatGPT to know what typical looks like for you specifically.

What makes YouTube different

YouTube is the only platform where a video keeps earning for years, so the back catalogue matters more than recency. Shorts and long-form also run on separate distribution — averaging them produces a number that describes neither, and holding them apart is the first thing worth doing.

Why ChatGPT

Connect Mysocial through ChatGPT’s custom MCP app setup to ask about the channels you have authorized. The steps below use Developer mode on the web; access depends on your plan and workspace permissions.

Free versus paid

Free gives your assistant the record. Paid gives it the understanding. The line is provenance, not a quota: what YouTube already reports about you is free to read. What Mysocial's own pipeline produced — transcribing, ingesting, analysing — is paid.

Questions

How do I connect YouTube to ChatGPT?

Connect your YouTube account to Mysocial, then add Mysocial as a connector in ChatGPT using https://app.mysocial.io/mcp. ChatGPT can then read your YouTube posts, metrics and comments directly — no exports and no copy-paste.

Is it free to connect YouTube to ChatGPT?

Connecting is free, and so is reading what YouTube itself reports — your posts and captions, view, like and comment counts, follower history and measured audience demographics. What Mysocial's own pipeline produces is paid: video transcripts, the comment text itself, audience psychographics, Hit DNA and Creator Universe research.

What can ChatGPT actually see?

Only the channels you connect, and only what you approve. Mysocial relays your videos and Shorts, titles and descriptions, view and interaction counts, and subscriber history. It cannot post on your behalf and it cannot see accounts you have not connected.

Does this work with other AI assistants?

Yes. Mysocial is a standard Model Context Protocol server, so the same URL works with Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex and any other MCP client.
