MCP support
It exposes Sponsorbook’s sponsorship research, brand-list, and contact capabilities to MCP clients. Clients can use the hosted endpoint or a local command bridge; a Sponsorbook Pro workspace is required.

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

From the project READMESponsorbook MCP
Research YouTube sponsors from Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
Sponsorbook MCP lets your agent find sponsors, inspect the videos and creators behind each relationship, explore similar brands, manage research lists, and work with verified contacts.
What you can do
- Find sponsor brands by name, domain, language, recency, volume, and typical views.
- Inspect a brand's sponsorship history and the supporting video evidence.
- Explore creators a brand sponsors and brands with overlapping creator relationships.
- Search YouTube channels and see which brands have sponsored them.
- Create lists, save brands, and attach research notes.
- View masked contacts, explicitly reveal a stored email, or request a contact when none exists.
Connect
Sponsorbook MCP requires a Sponsorbook Pro workspace.
Remote MCP
Use the hosted endpoint when your client supports remote MCP with authentication:
https://app.sponsorbook.io/mcp
Local MCP configuration
For clients that launch a local MCP command:
{
"mcpServers": {
"sponsorbook": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@sponsorbook/mcp"]
}
}
}
Your browser opens on the first connection so you can sign in and choose your Sponsorbook workspace. Later connections reuse that authorization.
Requirements
- Node.js 20.18.1 or newer for the local package
- A Sponsorbook Pro workspace
How it works
The package is a small open-source bridge for MCP clients that launch local commands. Sponsorbook's hosted MCP server performs the research and applies the same workspace permissions, contact reveal rules, and catalogue limits as the web app.
The hosted server and Sponsorbook catalogue are separate from this repository.
Development
npm install
npm test
npm run test:live
Set SPONSORBOOK_MCP_URL to an HTTPS endpoint, or to an HTTP localhost endpoint, when testing another Sponsorbook deployment.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
