Zype MCP server
Your Zype video library, inside the AI apps your team already uses.
Ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI apps about your videos, playlists, live channels and subscribers, and make changes in plain language. Each person signs in with their own Zype account, and every action stays within their role.
Works with the AI apps you use

Sign-in and access
Zype MCP uses your Zype account. Nobody shares a key, and nothing reaches further than the person using it.
-
Add the server to your app
Paste the server URL, or use the app's install button where there is one.
-
Sign in with Zype and choose a site
Your app opens Zype's sign-in page. If you belong to more than one site, pick the one this connection is for.
-
Review and authorize
Zype lists the permissions the app is asking for, grouped by area. Select Authorize to finish, or Deny to cancel.
What a connection can do
- One site per connection. To work with a second site, add the connector again and choose that site.
- Never more than your role. Every request is checked against your Zype role, so a read-only user stays read-only.
- Changes are labelled. Each tool is marked read-only or destructive, so your app can ask before it changes or deletes anything.
- Disconnect any time. Remove the connector in your app. Zype admins can also disable an app for the whole platform.
What you can do
Zype MCP covers the same areas as the Zype admin. The tool reference lists every tool and its parameters.
