# YouTube tools over MCP

61 tools across 10 capabilities, from $0.00055 per call, through OrcaRouter's hosted MCP server: one connection, every tool in the catalog, billed per successful run.

Server: https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1/tools/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Its tools: `orca_tools_catalog`, `orca_tools_discover`, `orca_tools_inspect`, `orca_tools_run`. Authenticate with an OrcaRouter API key as a bearer token; without one it browses the public catalog only.

## Claude Code

```shell
claude mcp add --transport http orcarouter-tools https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1/tools/mcp \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer ${ORCAROUTER_API_KEY:-}'
```

## Cursor and other MCP clients

In `~/.cursor/mcp.json`, or your client's MCP configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orcarouter-tools": {
      "url": "https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1/tools/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:ORCAROUTER_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Find YouTube tools

Once connected, the agent asks `orca_tools_discover` for what it needs, then `orca_tools_inspect` and `orca_tools_run` the tool it picks:

```json
{"q":"YouTube"}
```
