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.

Connect your app

No install and no API key. Add the server URL, sign in with your Zype account, choose your site and authorize.

Claude app (desktop and claude.ai)

  1. Open Customize → Connectors and choose Add custom connector. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner adds it for the organization.
  2. Name it Zype and enter the server URL:
  3. Click Connect, sign in with your Zype account, choose your site if you belong to more than one, and select Authorize.
  4. Turn on the Zype connector in a chat.

Claude Code in the desktop app

  1. Add the connector in the Claude app as described.
  2. Sessions in the Code tab pick up your Claude connectors automatically.

Claude Code CLI

Signed in with a Claude account that already has the Zype connector? It's already available.

  1. Otherwise, run this in a terminal:
  2. Run /mcp, select zype and choose Authenticate.
  3. In the browser window, sign in, choose your site and select Authorize.

Sign-in and access

Zype MCP uses your Zype account. Nobody shares a key, and nothing reaches further than the person using it.

  1. Add the server to your app

    Paste the server URL, or use the app's install button where there is one.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
