How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security97
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- The authorisation server supports Client ID Metadata Documents, the current MCP client-registration mechanism. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability79
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2636 tokens (~188/item across 14 items; 4 tools + 10 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management33
- Stability observed for 10 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
hasdata_youtube_channel_getYoutubeChannel youtube_channel: GET / ~486
Get YouTube Channel Data Fetches a YouTube channel by its ID (`UC…`) or handle (`@name`) and returns structured data for any channel tab — `featured`/Home, `videos`, `shorts`, `streams`, `playlists`, `posts`, `podcasts`, `releases`, `store` (desktop only), `about`. Returns channel identity (title, description, avatar, banner), subscriber count, country, join date, total-view count and social links (on the `about` tab), and the items on the requested tab (videos with views and publish date, playlists, posts, podcasts, etc.). Use to monitor competitor channels, build creator/brand directories, track posting cadence and growth signals, or feed `videoId` into the YouTube Video / Transcript endpoints.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

hasdata_youtube_search_getYoutubeSearchResults youtube_search: GET / ~718
Get YouTube Search Results Searches YouTube for a query and returns the full results page split into `videoResults` (videoId, title, views, length, publish date, chapters, channel info, extensions like 4K/CC), `channelResults` (channelId, handle, subscribers, verified flag), `shortsResults` / `inlineShortsResults`, themed `shelves` (e.g. 'People also watched', 'Latest from <creator>'), `adsResults` and `sponsoredResults` (advertiser, landing URL, position), plus `searchInformation.totalResults`. Each block preserves its `positionOnPage` so the original layout is reconstructable. Use for competitor and topic monitoring, brand-mention tracking, ad-placement intelligence, creator discovery, trend research, or to feed `videoId` / `channelId` into the YouTube Video, Channel, or Transcript endpoints.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

hasdata_youtube_transcript_getYoutubeTranscript youtube_transcript: GET / ~389
Get YouTube Video Transcript Returns the timed transcript (subtitles) of a YouTube video by its 11-character `videoId`. `languageCode` selects the track (e.g. `en`, `de-DE`, `pt-BR`); `type=asr` requests the auto-generated speech-recognition track. Each segment in `transcript[]` carries `startMs`, `endMs`, `snippet`, and a formatted `startTimeText`. The response also includes `availableTranscripts[]` listing every track on the video (language name + code, `type: asr` for auto-generated, `selected: true` for the one returned) so callers can discover what else is available. Use to feed a video's spoken content into RAG/LLM pipelines, generate summaries or chapter outlines, build searchable archives, run translation or accessibility workflows, or analyze talking points across a creator's catalog (pair with the YouTube Channel endpoint to enumerate videos, then fetch transcripts).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| languageCode | string | – | BCP-47 / YouTube language code of the transcript track to return (e.g. `en`, `de`, `en-US`, `pt-BR`). Must match a track that the video actually has. When omitted, the video's default language track… |
| type | string | – | Set to `asr` to fetch the YouTube auto-generated (speech-recognition) track. Omit to fetch the human-authored track for `languageCode` when one exists. |
| v | string | yes | 11-character YouTube video ID — the value of the `v=` query parameter in a watch URL (e.g. `dQw4w9WgXcQ` for `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ`). |

Use to enrich a video URL with metadata, monitor view/like growth, extract music or sponsor/affiliate links, gather features for recommender or RAG pipelines, or detect caption tracks before calling the YouTube Transcript endpoint.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| deviceType | string | – | Device type for the request. |
| gl | string | – | The two-letter country code for the country you want to limit the search to. Provide one exact documented value (245 allowed), e.g. `ac`, `af`. |

How do I install the HasData YouTube MCP server?
HasData YouTube is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.hasdata.com/mcp?apis=youtube, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

What is the HasData YouTube MCP server?
HasData YouTube is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.hasdata/youtube. Search YouTube and read video, channel and transcript data as JSON. No Google Cloud project. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.hasdata.com/mcp?apis=youtube).
Is the HasData YouTube MCP server safe to use?
HasData YouTube scores 86 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the HasData YouTube MCP server expose?
HasData YouTube exposes 4 tools: hasdata_youtube_channel_getYoutubeChannel, hasdata_youtube_search_getYoutubeSearchResults, hasdata_youtube_transcript_getYoutubeTranscript, hasdata_youtube_video_getYoutubeVideo. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,947 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the HasData YouTube MCP server require authentication?
Yes. HasData YouTube asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
Is the HasData YouTube MCP server still maintained?
HasData YouTube is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 16 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
