How quickly can I get sponsorship data?

About a minute. Paste the server URL into your assistant, sign in to your workspace, and ask about a channel or brand. The answer comes back in the same chat, with no export and no code.

What sponsorship data can I ask for?

Who sponsors a channel and how many videos each brand ran, which creators a brand pays, recent sponsored videos, similar channels and brands, price and CPM estimates, rankings, and contact emails. Every record includes a url that opens the same page in the app.

Do I need to write any code?

No. Setup is one URL and a sign-in, and you ask in plain language. If you'd rather script it, the same endpoint also accepts a bearer token from n8n, Make, or your own code.

How do I refer to a channel or brand?

However you already have it written down. Channels accept a handle like @mkbhd, a YouTube ID starting with UC, or our UUID. Brands accept a name or a UUID. If a channel is not indexed yet, asking for it imports it.

What does a question cost?

Looking things up is free: brand profiles, sponsor history, similar channels, price estimates, rankings, and bulk import. A new AI search costs 5 credits, and a newly discovered email costs 1. Re-running a search you already ran is always free.

Can my assistant change things in my account?

It can run searches, save them to your history, add channels for indexing, and spend credits on those two actions. It cannot touch billing, team members, passwords, or anything else in your settings.

Which clients does it work with?

Any client that speaks remote HTTP MCP. We use it daily in Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT developer mode, VS Code, and Codex CLI. Stdio-only apps can bridge through mcp-remote.

Guessing vs. knowing

The same question, with and without the data

A model sounds just as confident either way. Only one column gives you a number you can open and check.

You ask

Any model on its own

With Sponsorship.so

“Who sponsors this channel?”

“Where did that come from?”

Any model on its own

Nothing to click.

With Sponsorship.so

Every record ships a URL you can open and check.

Setup

Paste one URL. That's the integration.

We host the YouTube MCP server and sign you in over OAuth. When we ship a new tool, your assistant picks it up on the next connection with nothing to redeploy.

Paste one URL

There is no package to install and no SDK to keep current. When we ship a tool, your assistant picks it up on the next connection.

https://sponsorship.so/mcp

Approve a workspace

Your client sends you to Sponsorship.so to sign in and choose which workspace it may read. Revoke it later from MCP settings.

Ask in plain language

No tool names to memorize. Describe a channel, a brand, or a budget and your assistant picks the right call.

Step-by-step instructions for Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, VS Code, and ChatGPT live in your MCP settings once you're signed in.

Prompts

Questions you can steal

Each one chains several tools together. The manual version of these questions costs an afternoon of tabs and a spreadsheet.

“Price a 60-second mid-roll on @Fireship and tell me whether that CPM is fair for a dev-tools brand.”

“Which brands sponsored my three closest competitors this quarter but have never sponsored me?”

“Shortlist 20 German finance creators under 200k subscribers who already take fintech money, then find emails for the best five.”

“Has dbrand slowed down on YouTube, or have they just moved to smaller channels?”

“Import these 30 handles from my spreadsheet and flag which ones already have sponsors.”

“Pick the three sponsors most likely to say yes to my channel, then draft each pitch around what they already buy.”

The toolbox

19 tools, and what each one costs you

Grouped by the job you're doing, not by our database tables. Most of them are free to call.

AI search

5 credits per new search, re-runs free

Describe the list you want in plain language and a model builds the filters for you. Every search stays on the workspace, so re-running it later is free.

For developers

No MCP client? It's still just HTTP.

Skip OAuth, send an API token, and call the same endpoint over JSON-RPC from n8n, Make, or a cron job. If your code is doing the deciding, the REST API is usually the simpler fit.

curl -X POST https://sponsorship.so/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "list_most_active_brands",
      "arguments": { "tag": "VPN", "since_days": 30 }
    }
  }'

"Being able to discover creators in bulk, organize campaigns, and estimate charges upfront saves us countless hours every week. It's become an essential tool for our marketing team."
