Do I need a YouTube API key to use this?

The underlying @limecooler/yt-info-mcp server typically functions using public data extraction techniques via npx, often avoiding the need for a personal API key for basic metadata.

What are the prerequisites for installation?

You must have Node.js and npm installed and accessible in your system's PATH, as the skill relies on npx to run the server.

How do I activate the skill after installation?

After the skill updates your .mcp.json configuration, you must restart your Claude Code session for the changes to take effect and the tools to become available.

Can it extract information from private videos?

No, this tool is intended for public YouTube content; it cannot access private or restricted videos that require specific user authentication.
