The CLI command is just `yt` — short and sweet.

brew install virat-mankali/tap/youtube-mcp
```

## Setup

1. Go to [console.cloud.google.com](https://console.cloud.google.com)
2. Create a project and enable **YouTube Data API v3**
3. Create an **OAuth 2.0 Client ID** (Desktop App type)
4. Copy your Client ID and Client Secret, then run:

```bash
yt auth login --client-id YOUR_ID --client-secret YOUR_SECRET
```
