Connect Claude Code to TubExperto
Claude Code stops making up what the channels you follow said: it answers with what they actually explained, and shows you the video and the timestamp.
MCP connector URL
https://tubexperto.com/api/mcp/streamYou need a TubExperto account. The free one is enough: no card required.
Your TubExperto token travels in the command header, so it is set up once from the terminal.
The free plan already includes the MCP connector, with 1 active session and 7 questions per week. You can try the whole thing without paying.
Three steps and you are done
- 1
Open the terminal in the project where you want to use it.
- 2
Paste the command below and replace mcpl_... with your TubExperto token. Add --scope user to make it available in every project.
- 3
Check the connection with "claude mcp list" and ask "What experts do I have on TubExperto?".
claude mcp add --transport http tubexperto https://tubexperto.com/api/mcp/stream --header "Authorization: Bearer mcpl_..."
Try it with these prompts
They work on the demo channels, which are free and already indexed. Copy one and paste it into your conversation.
Ask CodelyTV and midudev how they would structure a repository like this one and contrast their answers with the code in front of me.
Before I refactor this module, check what CodelyTV says about coupling and boil it down to three rules.
What does midudev say about error handling in JavaScript? Apply it to this file.
Search Dot CSV for which tasks are worth handing to a small model and which are not.
Summarise the latest CodelyTV video about testing and tell me which tests are missing here.
What it takes, no small print
On the TubExperto side
A free account. The MCP connector is included in every plan, the free one included.
On the client side
You need the Claude Code CLI installed and signed in. It also works in the desktop app, on claude.ai/code and in the VS Code and JetBrains extensions. If the command fails, create a .mcp.json at the project root with the same block.
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard that lets an AI assistant query an external source. TubExperto Link is our MCP server: it gives your AI read access to the YouTube channels you indexed, quoting the video and the timestamp.

The full guide covers every client, token authentication, which tool belongs to which plan, and what to do when something breaks.
