Vidseeds Publishing

Use for VidSeeds MCP publishing - platform connections, OAuth connect URLs, activate YouTube channel, update connection settings, preflight/confirm/cancel publish, publish status, direct YouTube upload, and updating live YouTube metadata.

File contents

Publishing & connections (MCP)

Connect platforms

vidseeds_list_platform_connections - see what is connected (no OAuth secrets returned).
vidseeds_get_platform_connect_url - OAuth URL for a platform the user must open in a browser.
After OAuth completes, list again to get connectionId.

YouTube channel selection (multi-channel accounts):

vidseeds_set_active_youtube_channel - which channel is active for uploads/metadata.

Settings:

vidseeds_update_connection_settings - per-connection options (e.g. content language, description footer, and per-asset generation guidelines for titles/descriptions/tags/thumbnails). Read current values via vidseeds_get_platform_connection. Guidelines are sent to the model on every generation by default; generation tools accept applyGuidelines: false to ignore them for one call.
vidseeds_disconnect_platform_connection - remove a connection.

Publish a project

Typical sequence:

vidseeds_get_project_snapshot - verify per-platform config (vidseeds_update_project_platform_config if needed).
vidseeds_preflight_publish - compatibility checks before spend.
vidseeds_confirm_publish or vidseeds_publish_project - start publish (see tool descriptions for now vs scheduled).
vidseeds_get_publish_status - poll until platforms complete or fail.
On failure: vidseeds_retry_publish_target; to abort schedule: vidseeds_cancel_or_unschedule_publish.

Direct YouTube upload (bypassing manual Studio upload)

For large files the user uploads from their machine through VidSeeds:

vidseeds_prepare_youtube_upload - session/upload instructions.
User/agent completes bytes per returned guidance.
vidseeds_complete_youtube_upload - finalize.

Pair with project metadata from vidseeds-projects.

Organic promo campaign packs

For product URL or product brief workflows, keep generation, draft creation, and publishing separate:

vidseeds_generate_promo_campaign_pack - generate one reviewable organic campaign pack.
Select the variants the user wants to use.
vidseeds_create_social_posts_from_campaign_pack - convert only selected variants into Social Planner drafts.
vidseeds_preflight_social_post - check each draft against platform rules and required media/context.
vidseeds_approve_social_post - approve only after user review.
vidseeds_schedule_social_post or vidseeds_publish_social_post_now - schedule or publish after explicit approval.

Update live YouTube video metadata

vidseeds_update_youtube_metadata - patch title/description/tags on an existing video (connected channel).

Thumbnail on YouTube

vidseeds_publish_thumbnail_to_youtube - set thumbnail on a published video (see vidseeds-thumbnails).

Channel description

vidseeds_publish_channel_description - update channel-level description when supported.

History republish

vidseeds_republish_history_item - re-send from optimization history (check tool inputs).

Before publishing

Confirm seeds and quota: vidseeds-efficiency (vidseeds_get_seed_balance).
Ensure the right connectionId is set on each enabled platform in project config.
