Connect YouTube to Claude Agent SDK

Give Claude Agent SDK workflows access to KosmoKrator integrations through a local MCP server.

Add a KosmoKrator stdio MCP server to the Claude Agent SDK options. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with --write=deny so Claude Agent SDK can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.

YouTube MCP Config for Claude Agent SDK

Use a narrow integration list so the agent does not load unrelated tools.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kosmokrator-youtube": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "kosmo",
      "args": [
        "mcp:serve",
        "--integration=youtube",
        "--write=deny"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run the Gateway Manually

kosmokrator mcp:serve --integration=youtube --write=deny
