Security Report

7.2
Moderate7.2Low Risk

Only a README and connection metadata were provided, so no server source code could be audited. The listing describes a hosted, authenticated (Bearer API key) read-only YouTube data service with no account-action tools, and the documented permissions match that purpose. The main limitation is that the hosted implementation cannot be verified from the materials given, so the score reflects the stated design rather than verified code.

Quick Start

Use the hosted endpoint directly when the client supports authenticated streamable-http:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "socialdatax-youtube": {
      "type": "streamable_http",
      "url": "https://mcp.socialdatax.com/youtube/mcp",
      "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer <SOCIALDATAX_API_KEY>"}
    }
  }
}

For command/stdio-only clients, use npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.socialdatax.com/youtube/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <SOCIALDATAX_API_KEY>". See the files in examples.

Request or manage API access at https://socialdatax.com/ai?from=github. Never commit a real API Key.

Gemini CLI extension

Install this service from its public GitHub repository:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/DevinChen2014/youtube-mcp

When prompted, enter your own SOCIALDATAX_API_KEY. Get a key from SocialDataX; business tool calls consume SocialDataX credits. The extension connects directly to the existing hosted MCP endpoint and does not include the private service implementation.

Verify the connection with gemini mcp list. To change the saved key, run:

gemini extensions config socialdatax-youtube
