https://api.kreatix.cc/mcp/YOUR_KEYWhat Claude can do on YouTube
A video with a title, a description and the visibility you choose; YouTube takes no text-only post.
| Setting | Values | Needed | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
media_url | URL | Yes | The video: a link from your Kreatix library or a public YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Facebook post, which Kreatix imports first. |
youtube_title | string (max 100) | No | The title, up to 100 characters. Without it, Kreatix makes one from the caption's first line, minus hashtags and @mentions. |
youtube_privacy | public, unlisted, private | No | Who can see the video. Left out, the video goes up public. |
caption | string (max 5000) | No | Becomes the video description, cut at 5,000 bytes, and the source of the title when youtube_title is empty. |
cover_url | URL | No | Set as the video's custom thumbnail right after the upload. If YouTube refuses it, the video stays up without it. |
Ask in plain words
A normal chat message in claude.ai or Claude Desktop, with Kreatix turned on under + > Connectors. For example: "Post this TikTok link to all my Instagram pages tomorrow at 18:00."
- Put this video on my YouTube channel Friday at 17:00 as unlisted. Title: How we pack 500 orders a day.
- Post my newest TikTok video to YouTube tonight at 20:00 with a clear title.
- How many views did my YouTube channel get in the last 30 days, compared with the month before?
YouTube rules to know
- A title of your own takes at most 100 characters; without one, Kreatix uses the caption's first line minus hashtags and @mentions.
- YouTube does not take < and >, so Kreatix sends them as ‹ and ›.
- Leave youtube_privacy out and the video goes up public.
- Scheduled videos go up marked as not made for kids.
- If YouTube says an upload limit is reached, Kreatix moves the post 6 hours later, up to 5 times, then marks it failed.
Tips for Claude
- Turn Kreatix on per chat under + > Connectors, and leave it off in chats that shouldn't touch your pages.
- One setup covers claude.ai and Claude Desktop, because connectors live in your Claude account. Claude Code sees it too when it is logged in with the same claude.ai account.
- Give Allow always only to the reading tools (list_channels, list_groups, list_posts, get_stats). Keep scheduling on ask, so you see the pages, caption and time first.
- The agent checks the pages, caption and time with you before it posts. It cannot delete pages, read messages or change your account, and you can remove it any time in Settings > AI agent.
Questions
How do I post to YouTube from Claude?
Connect Claude to Kreatix once, as shown above. Then ask it to post: name your YouTube pages or a page group, the video or text and the time. Claude shows you the plan and posts after you say yes.
What title will my video get?
The youtube_title you give, up to 100 characters. Without one, Kreatix takes the caption's first line, drops hashtags and @mentions and fits it into 100 characters. With no caption at all, the title is Untitled.
Can I upload as private or unlisted?
Yes. Set youtube_privacy to public, unlisted or private. Left out, the video goes up public.
What happens when YouTube's upload limit is hit?
Kreatix does not drop the post: it moves it 6 hours later and tries again, up to 5 times. After that the post shows as failed, so you see it.
Does the cover I pick show on YouTube?
Kreatix sets cover_url as the custom thumbnail right after the upload. If YouTube refuses it, for example when the channel can't use custom thumbnails yet, the video stays up and only the thumbnail is skipped.
Does it work on the free Claude plan?
Yes. Custom connectors work on Free, Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise, and the Free plan allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner first adds Kreatix under Organization settings > Connectors, then each member clicks Connect.
Can I switch from the key address to Sign in with Kreatix later?
Yes, but Claude can't change a connector's sign-in settings after you add it. Remove the connector, add it again with https://api.kreatix.cc/mcp, then delete the old key in Kreatix under Settings > AI agent.
Kreatix schedules one video to every page you run, each with its own platform settings.
