Cursor nutzt das gleiche mcpServers-Schema wie Claude Desktop. Projektkonfiguration schlägt die globale.

Anwendungsfälle

Praxisnahe Nutzung: claude-youtube

How to audit a YouTube channel and get a growth plan

👤 Creators plateauing or rebooting a channel ⏱ ~60 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: Views are flat and you don't know if the problem is niche, hooks, or cadence.

Voraussetzungen

Skill cloned — git clone https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-youtube ~/.claude/skills/claude-youtube
Channel URL and last 20 video titles / thumbnails / retention — YouTube Studio exports or manual paste

Ablauf

Dump the data

Audit channel <url>. Here's the last 20 videos with title, duration, views, and average retention %.✓ Kopiert

→ Findings on niche signal, hooks, thumbnails, cadence
Pick the biggest lever

Which one change would move views the most over the next 4 weeks?✓ Kopiert

→ One clear lever with justification
Turn it into a plan

Produce a 4-week content plan focused on that lever.✓ Kopiert

→ Video-by-video plan with titles and hooks

Ergebnis: A focused growth plan, not 'post more consistently' platitudes.

Fallstricke

Too many simultaneous changes — no signal — Change one variable at a time; measure for 2–4 weeks

Kombinieren mit: filesystem

Write a retention-optimized video script

👤 Creators scripting a long-form video ⏱ ~45 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: You have the video idea but writing retention-aware scripts is a weak spot.

Ablauf

Brief Claude on the video

Video idea: 'How Apple's M-series chips actually work'. Audience: curious but non-technical. Length: ~12 min.✓ Kopiert

→ Proposed structure with hook, promise, payoffs
Script with pattern interrupts

Write a full script with visual cues, B-roll callouts, and pattern interrupts every 45–60 seconds.✓ Kopiert

→ Paced script with timing anchors
Cold-open variants

Give me 3 cold-open variants optimized for 30-second hold.✓ Kopiert

→ 3 distinct hooks

Ergebnis: A production-ready script your editor can cut from.

Fallstricke

Pattern interrupts feel forced — Let them emerge from content shifts, not arbitrary timers

Iterate titles and thumbnails for a video

👤 Creators at post-production ⏱ ~20 min beginner

Wann einsetzen: Video is done and you want to maximize CTR.

Ablauf

Generate title variants

Give me 10 title variants targeting curiosity, stakes, and specificity.✓ Kopiert

→ 10 distinct angles
Score for intent match

Which ones actually match the video's payoff? No clickbait.✓ Kopiert

→ Filtered list with reasoning
Thumbnail brief

Write a thumbnail brief (composition, text, emotion, contrast) for the best title.✓ Kopiert

→ Brief the designer can execute in 20 minutes

Ergebnis: A title + thumbnail pair that earns its CTR.

Fallstricke

Overpromising — high CTR, bad retention — Reject titles whose promise the video doesn't deliver

Kombinationen

Mit anderen MCPs für 10-fache Wirkung

claude-youtube-skill + claude-shorts-skill

Strategy (this skill) plus automated cutting (claude-shorts)

Generate Shorts ideas for this episode, then hand them to claude-shorts for auto-rendering.✓ Kopiert

claude-youtube-skill + social-media-caption-generator-claude-skill

Turn YouTube video concepts into cross-platform posts

For this video, generate posting captions for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and LinkedIn.✓ Kopiert
