Claude (claude.ai & Desktop)
- You'll need a paid Hookami account. Custom connectors work on every Claude plan.

- Click Add — a Hookami window opens. Sign in if asked, then press Allow.

claude mcp list, then ask away.
Security, in plain words
- You approve access once through OAuth — your Hookami password never touches ChatGPT or Claude.
- Every tool is read-only. The connector can research for you; it can never change your account or content.
- Disconnect any time from the host app. Details in our Privacy Policy.
Questions, answered
Is Hookami Anywhere a YouTube MCP server?
Yes. Hookami Anywhere is a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server focused on YouTube intelligence — trending keywords, trend lifecycles, outlier video discovery, video examples with performance data, and live news — served from Hookami's tracked creator dataset to ChatGPT, Claude, or any MCP-compatible client.
Which plan do I need?
Any active paid Hookami plan (Creator or Master). Free accounts are politely declined at sign-in.
Which apps does it work with?
ChatGPT (with Developer mode), claude.ai, the Claude Desktop app, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible client. Add it once in claude.ai and it follows you to Desktop and mobile automatically.
Is my data safe?
You sign in with your Hookami account through OAuth — there are no passwords or tokens to paste into the chat app. Every tool is read-only: the connector can look things up for you, it can never change anything in your workspace. Disconnect it any time from the host app’s settings; developer tokens can be revoked in Hookami under Settings → Integrations.
What does the AI see?
Only the results of the tools it calls for your question — trends, keywords, video examples, news. Your conversation with ChatGPT or Claude is governed by their terms, not ours; Hookami only sees the tool requests.
