What is Sponsorbook MCP?
Sponsorbook MCP lets compatible AI assistants use your Sponsorbook research workspace through Model Context Protocol. You can look up sponsors, inspect sponsorship evidence, and manage saved lists through conversation.
Which AI tools can I use?
You can set up Sponsorbook in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex using the instructions above. Other clients need support for remote Streamable HTTP MCP servers and OAuth sign-in. Connection options may depend on your client and organization settings.
Do I need a Sponsorbook account?
You need a Sponsorbook workspace with Pro access. Add the MCP server in your AI tool first; it will prompt you to sign in to Sponsorbook and authorize access. Your AI tool may have its own account requirements.
Where does the sponsorship data come from?
Your assistant reads the same catalogue used by the Sponsorbook website: brands, creators, sponsored videos, and available sponsor-segment evidence. Coverage varies. A missing result does not mean a sponsorship never happened.
What can my assistant change?
It can create and update lists, add notes, and add or remove saved brands. The tools also support contact requests and email reveals where contacts are available. Revealing a new email uses your workspace’s reveal allowance.
Will it send pitches or score my channel’s fit?
No. The MCP tools help you research sponsors and manage your workspace. They don’t send outreach or provide the website’s personalized Fit scoring.
