What is OpenQuok MCP for YouTube on Claude Cowork?

Claude Cowork lists your YouTube account, reads platform limits, and drafts or schedules posts over MCP — you approve in your workspace. See Claude Cowork MCP setup and the YouTube humanizer tool.

Do I need the CLI or openquok-core skill?

No. Claude Cowork connects over MCP with an opo_ token. Use openquok-core on Grok Bot, ThinkRail, OpenClaw, or Hermes for deeper skill workflows. See agent setup guides.

Why use Claude Cowork MCP instead of an agent host?

Grok Bot, ThinkRail, OpenClaw, and Hermes fit always-on chat and messaging. Claude Cowork fits when OpenQuok should live in your editor or terminal. Pick Claude Cowork when you already ship there. Pick an agent host for messaging and scale. Many teams use both.

How do I authenticate?

Create an OAuth app. Generate an opo_ token under Developers → Access. Paste the MCP config. See OAuth2 for apps and the Claude Cowork MCP setup.

How do I verify the connection?

Start a fresh session. Ask: List my connected social media accounts. See the Claude Cowork MCP setup guide for the verify step.

How does Claude Cowork schedule YouTube posts?

Connect YouTube via the YouTube setup guide. Add OpenQuok MCP to Claude Cowork — see the Claude Cowork MCP setup guide. Draft and schedule in natural language; you approve on the calendar or kanban.

Does Claude Cowork publish immediately or wait for approval?

It depends on you. You can ask Claude Cowork to publish now when the copy is ready, or save drafts and scheduled posts and approve them later on the OpenQuok calendar or kanban. Tell Claude Cowork to use draft-only or not to publish when you want a review step first.

What is MCP and how does OpenQuok use it?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets AI assistants connect to the tools you use. Connect OpenQuok in your MCP client and your agent can list channels, read platform rules, and schedule posts without opening the dashboard. Start with MCP getting started or a MCP setup guide.

Can I try OpenQuok for free?

Yes. OpenQuok offers one 7-day free trial per payment customer so you can run social media accounts on auto-pilot before you subscribe the plan. Create an account and start today — no credit card required. Canceling and resubscribing, or creating another workspace, does not grant a second trial. Plan limits are on Pricing and in the billing limits guide; trial rules are in the Cloud trial guide.

How do I schedule social media posts with OpenQuok?

Connect channels, write in Creating posts, then pick a time on the calendar or kanban. Agents can use the CLI, agent setup guides, or MCP setup guides.

What counts as a channel?

A channel is one connected social account (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, and more). Connect channels in the dashboard. Browse networks on Supported channels.

Is YouTube Gemini-first on OpenQuok?

Yes. Google’s Gemini MCP clients on OpenQuok are Gemini-first. Android Studio on OpenQuok is Gemini-first. YouTube is a first-class example for video and Shorts — start there when you publish to Google’s networks, then add other channels from the same workspace.

How do Android Studio and Antigravity CLI fit YouTube scheduling?

Gemini Task is the personal agent in the Gemini app — Task threads, skills, schedules, and Connected Apps (MCP). Android Studio is Gemini in Agent mode inside the Android IDE. Antigravity CLI is Gemini’s terminal agent with ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json. Same OpenQuok workspace and approval flow. Pick Gemini Task for Workspace-native agent work. Pick Android Studio for mobile IDE sessions. Pick Antigravity CLI when the terminal is home base. Open the YouTube agent landing for YouTube CLI examples.

How do I connect my YouTube channel to OpenQuok?

Sign up for free, open a workspace, and choose Connect channel → YouTube. Complete Google OAuth and pick the channel you manage. OpenQuok Cloud registers the Google app for you. For self-hosted deployments, see the self-host YouTube setup guide.

What video format does OpenQuok require for YouTube?

Each scheduled YouTube post needs exactly one MP4 attachment. Our video editor validates format before publish; attach your video file from the media library or upload via the Public API. See media rules by platform.

Can I schedule YouTube Shorts with OpenQuok?

Yes. Upload a vertical MP4 with the same one-video workflow as long-form uploads — add your title, description, tags, and optional thumbnail, then queue it on the calendar. YouTube classifies qualifying vertical uploads as Shorts on its side. See media rules by platform and YouTube CLI examples.

Can I set the video title, privacy, and tags in OpenQuok?

Yes. Use YouTube settings in our video editor (or pass flat keys or a youtube bucket via provider Settings in the API). Title, privacy, made-for-kids, tags, and an optional custom thumbnail are supported. See YouTube per-channel settings and YouTube API settings.

Does the post body become the YouTube description?

Yes. The main post text maps to the video description on upload. Keep copy within the 5,000-character limit shown in our video editor. Polish long descriptions in the YouTube humanizer tool before you schedule.

Can I schedule YouTube uploads from MCP, the API, or CLI?

Yes. Connect a YouTube channel in our web dashboard, then follow MCP setup guides (ask your assistant in chat to list integrations and queue posts), CLI setup guides, the create-post API, or YouTube CLI examples. Attach one MP4 and YouTube provider settings per scheduled upload.

Can I cross-post from YouTube to other channels?

Yes. Compose once in OpenQuok and publish the same idea to YouTube, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, and other connected channels from one workflow. Per-platform settings — such as YouTube title and privacy — are applied separately for each destination. See Supported channels.

Does OpenQuok support YouTube playlists or community posts?

Not today. OpenQuok schedules MP4 video uploads to channels you manage — not playlist placement, community posts, or YouTube-side scheduled publish times inside Studio. See supported platform features.

Is OpenQuok a good fit for faceless YouTube channels?

Yes. Connect your channel once, then queue batches of MP4 uploads with titles, descriptions, tags, and thumbnails from the calendar or public API. Many faceless workflows render videos externally and use OpenQuok as the publish queue — you keep approval control before anything goes live. Browse YouTube playbooks for workflow ideas.

Is there a free trial for YouTube scheduling?

Yes. Connect a YouTube channel in our web dashboard, schedule uploads, and explore API access during the cloud free trial before upgrading to a paid plan that matches your channel and workspace limits. Plan details are on Pricing for a free tier, or self-host OpenQuok you run yourself.
