YouTube Scheduler

What you can publish to YouTube

• Videos. One video per post in MP4, MOV, AVI or WebM. The post text becomes the video description.
• Shorts. There is no separate Shorts switch. Publora uploads the video to YouTube like any other upload, and YouTube decides whether a short vertical video appears as a Short.
• Visibility. Publish as public, unlisted or private. Uploading as unlisted or private lets you review the video before making it public in YouTube Studio.
• Metadata. Title up to 100 characters, tags, category ID, and the required "made for kids" declaration, which defaults to not made for kids.
• Playlists. Add the published video to one of your channel's playlists. If adding it fails, the video stays published.
• Custom thumbnails. JPEG or PNG up to 2 MB, at least 640x360 (1280x720 recommended). YouTube only accepts custom thumbnails from verified channels.

Connect Claude, Cursor or any MCP client to mcp.publora.com and schedule in plain English:

• “Upload this video URL to my YouTube channel as unlisted on Monday at 16:00 UTC, titled "Weekly product update", with the tags product and changelog.”
• “Schedule this vertical clip to YouTube, TikTok and Instagram for Friday at 17:00 UTC with the same caption.”
• “List my scheduled YouTube uploads for this month and change the next one from unlisted to public.”
