YouTube channel search

YouTube channels matching a topic keyword, ranked by YouTube's own channel search, each with subscriber count, lifetime views, video count, creation date, description and topic tags.

When to use it

Use when you need to find WHO covers a topic on YouTube and do not have a handle yet: building a creator shortlist, mapping who owns a niche, or sizing a competitive field before you commit. Returns channels, not videos, so it does not reward whoever titled one video well. Billing is one unit per search TERM and the rows are free, so ask for a large maxItems on few terms rather than the reverse. Use youtube.channel when you already know the handle, youtube.similar_channels when you have one channel and want others like it, and youtube.videos when you want videos rather than the channels behind them.

Inputs

YouTube channel search takes 5 fields, 1 of them required. Anything you leave out falls back to the tool's own default.

How to call it

Connect once and your agent can reach YouTube channel search the same way it reaches everything else in the catalog. Add Goro as an MCP connector, or paste the setup line into an agent that reads skills.
