WHAT IS MCP
A way to connect AI and data.
An AI only knows what it can find on the internet. Connect MCP and it can use your own data as well.

MCPone path
One MCP covers all of them.Whichever AI you use, it sees the same data.
The AI fetches it on its own
You don’t have to spell out which data you need.
Say what you want,
and the AI works out exactly what to pull.
You’re not tied to one AI
It makes no difference which AI you use.
If it supports MCP, it connects the same way,
and the connection stays once it is made.
WHY IT MATTERS
The AI is smart. It just does not know YouTube.
Build a channel list with AI and you hit the same wall every time.
Ask for picks and you get names
A few famous channels and years-old numbers. With vling MCP connected, the AI pulls channels that match, with yesterday’s numbers.

WHAT YOU GET
Connect it once, and the AI you already usequeries vling data directly.
MCP is the standard that links AI to outside data. Like USB-C, where one cable fits everything, you plug it in once and it stays.

REAL OUTPUT
All four came out of a conversation.
vling MCP pulled the data and the AI organized it on the spot. Nobody copied a figure across or drew a chart by hand.
01Four beauty brands compared
“Compare four beauty brands on YouTube mentions over the last 30 days. Lay out total views, video count, and average views per video, then split the views into positive, neutral, and negative as a scorecard.”
Total views, video count, and views per video side by side,
with the same views split again by sentiment.
02Sponsorship vs. negative sentiment
“Compare these four brands on sponsored share and negative share. Put sponsored share of mention videos on x, negative share of views on y, build a quadrant chart, and read out how the strategies differ.”
Crossing the two separates brands buying their way past negativity
from brands spending little and still well liked.
03Rival clubs, mentions over time
“Compare two clubs on recent YouTube mentions. Stack daily mention views by sentiment to show the trend, then explain the spikes down to the spoken line and its timecode.”
It catches a single day outscoring the rival’s entire 102-day window,
and traces the cause back to what was said on camera.
04Inside the mention videos
“Analyze the videos that mention us, ranked by views. Lay out the channel type and performance of the top videos, then compare against our own best video to show the reach outside channels added.”
The top slots went to late-night TV, finance, and gaming, not sports,
reaching 3.8× the club’s own best upload.
USE CASES
How agencies and MCNs actually use it.
Describe the criteria and candidates come back. Ask for evidence and a comparison comes back. The proposal draft happens in that same conversation.
Candidates come back without a single channel name
Describe the brand tone in plain words. Once the list is back, narrow it on the spot.

Each channel you look up or compare counts as one call.
Support actions like checking usage do not count.
After the trialPaid plans are being built around two ideas.
A team-wide limit
Not per seat. The team shares one allowance,
so adding people does not add cost on its own.
Priced on volume
Tiers follow how many channels and calls you use.
Light use stays light.
FAQ
The questions we hear first.
Almost always the key format. Check the space after
Bearer, stray spaces or line breaks around the key, and the vmk_ prefix.
Saving the settings again and starting a fresh conversation often helps too.The key has expired, or a newer key invalidated it. Ask your contact for an extension.
The registered YouTube name often differs from the one people use. Add the URL or @handle and it almost always finds it.
No. They are estimates built from channel metrics, meant as a starting point for negotiation.
Read-only
No create, update, or delete tools are offered at all.
There is no path for the AI to change anything.
One key per person
The server stores an encrypted value, never the key itself.
Everything is logged
Usage is recorded per key and per team,
so anything unusual can be acted on immediately.
