Use REST when your code calls TubeField directly. Use MCP when an agent should call the tools inside a conversation or coding environment.
Build products, dashboards, enrichment jobs and internal tools with structured HTTP responses.
Let assistants search YouTube, read transcripts and inspect channels while they reason through a task.
The same prepaid balance powers API calls and MCP tool calls, so usage stays easy to track.
One URL connects ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and any MCP client. Your agent gets search, video details, transcripts, comments, channels and playlists.
Browser assistants sign in with OAuth. Dev tools send your API key. Same URL either way.
