yutu - The Missing YouTube Piece for Google Workspace CLI

[OpenWaygate]

Hey gws community!

I built yutu — a CLI, MCP server, Skill, and AI agent for YouTube — and I think it fills a gap in the Google Workspace CLI ecosystem.

gws brilliantly covers Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Sheets, Docs, Chat, and more — but YouTube, one of Google's biggest platforms, doesn't get the same first-class treatment. That's where yutu comes in.

What yutu does

• Full YouTube Data API v3 coverage — videos, playlists, comments, captions, channels, subscriptions, thumbnails, watermarks, memberships, and more
• MCP server — works with Claude Desktop, VS Code, Gemini, and any MCP client, so AI agents can manage your YouTube channel conversationally
• Unified skill - extends AI agents with YouTube domain knowledge, common workflows, and SEO best practices, covering 40+ operations across 6 categories
• Multi-agent architecture — orchestrator + specialized retrieval/modifier/destroyer agents for automated YouTube workflows
• CLI-first — just like gws, built for humans and AI agents with structured output

Install & try

npm i -g @eat-pray-ai/yutu  # Node.js
brew install yutu           # macOS
winget install yutu         # Windows

# Add it to your agent with one command
npx skills add https://github.com/eat-pray-ai/yutu/tree/main/skills/youtube

How it complements gws

gws	yutu
Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Sheets, Docs, Chat, Admin	YouTube Data API, Analytics, Reporting
Rust, Discovery-driven	Go, YouTube-specialized
Gemini CLI Extension	MCP server (Claude, Gemini, more)
100+ Agent Skills	Unified YouTube skill + multi-agent orchestrator

Together, gws + yutu = complete Google Workspace coverage, including YouTube.

Would love to hear your thoughts, and happy to explore tighter integration!
