vidIQ integration for AI agents
vidIQ MCP lets authorized agents research YouTube and Instagram creators, videos, trends, comments, thumbnails, titles, and connected-channel analytics, with explicitly annotated media and account-management actions.
Use it from your agent
One ClawLink account serves every agent you run. Pick the guide for yours, or connect vidIQ once and call the same tools from all of them.
Setup
Connect vidIQ through ClawLink's hosted setup.
- Auth: Paste one API key. The credential stays on the ClawLink server; your agent holds only a ClawLink key you can revoke.
- Where: the ClawLink dashboard, or ask your agent to connect it.
