Skills-to-Video MCP
MCP server that recommends YouTube videos based on skills you're trying to learn or jobs you're upskilling for
The Idea
Finding the right learning content on YouTube is surprisingly hard — search results are optimised for clicks, not for structured skill development. This MCP server bridges that gap by recommending videos matched to specific skills or job roles you’re trying to upskill for.
How It Works
The server exposes tools via the Model Context Protocol that take a skill or target role as input and return curated YouTube video recommendations. Plug it into Claude or any MCP-compatible client and ask for learning resources as part of a natural conversation.
What I Learned
Building an MCP server is a great way to make AI assistants actually useful for domain-specific tasks. The interesting challenge is ranking and filtering video results to surface genuinely educational content rather than just the most popular uploads.
