Open Video MCP: publish and manage your channel from a chat

Open.Video runs a YouTube-style channel on your own domain, and its MCP server covers AI-powered video publishing, channel management and monetization. ContextGate connects it to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor with your Open.Video sign-in, so you can manage a channel from a chat and still decide whether an AI app may publish anything to your subscribers.
