What it does
Give channels, or a search term with a subscriber range. For each channel you get its stats and any address it publishes in plain text on its about page or linked website, with the page that shows it.
All of the work runs on Apify. This package is a thin client that starts the actor run, waits for it, and hands back the dataset rows.
Quick start
You need Node.js 18 or newer and an Apify account with an API token.
Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, or any MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mamba-youtube-channel-email-finder": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@mambalabsdev/mcp-youtube-channel-email-finder"
],
"env": {
"APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
}
}
}
}
Restart the client. The find_youtube_channel_emails tool appears.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or newer.
- An Apify API token from console.apify.com/account/integrations, set as
APIFY_TOKEN. The server lists its tool without a token; a call needs one.
Example prompts
- "Find the published business email for @mkbhd."
- "Find home espresso channels with 10,000 to 500,000 subscribers and their published emails."
- "Which of these YouTube channels publish a contact address?"
Tool
find_youtube_channel_emails. One tool. Example arguments:
{
"channels": [

]
}
