Cursor and YouTube

Prepare YouTube posts with Cursor.

A person confirms before anything posts by default. A workspace owner can explicitly enable auto-publish for this agent in this workspace.

Check channel access first

Limited

Until Google audits our API project, every upload is private, whatever visibility is chosen. Until Google verifies the heyeveryone app, connecting YouTube shows Google's "unverified app" screen, and at most 100 new users in total can connect: a lifetime cap Google can't reset.

Connect your agent

~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "heyeveryone": {
      "url": "https://heyeveryone.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:HEYEVERYONE_TOKEN}" }
    }
  }
}

Leave out headers to sign in with OAuth instead.

Draft, review, then confirm

Connect your channel in heyeveryone and grant the agent access to its workspace.
Ask: “Draft a YouTube post from these notes. Check the channel rules and show me the content link. Do not schedule or publish.”
Open the draft and inspect it. Ask the agent to request a review; a person creates the review link or reviews it personally.
Review the current text and approve it if sign-off is required. Confirm the channels and time before publishing.

Access and credits

Agent access is included in every plan. MCP and API calls do not cost credits; actions that run heyeveryone’s own AI do, with cost shown first. Your agent provider may charge separately.
