Use my connected Agentik MCP server for this job: youtube video ideas.

Collect YouTube search suggestions with tikhub/youtube-web-v2-get-search-suggestions. Find the most viewed videos with dataforseo/youtube-search and read the ten best with dataforseo/youtube-video-info. Read the top comments on five of them with scrapecreators/get-v1-youtube-video-comments. Check the YouTube search trend for my five main terms with dataforseo/google-trends.

Finish with ten video ideas (title, the search it answers, the gap in existing videos, the questions to answer) ranked by demand and competition.

Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged.

## YouTube video ideas: questions

### Does it read my channel’s analytics?

No. It works from public demand and public videos, so it helps before you film.

### Why read comments?

Viewers ask there what the video didn’t answer, which is often your next video.

### What does the example cost?

At most $0.25, reserved before each call and settled at the measured usage.
