TLDR: Claude can now find you the perfect YouTubers for your brand
The Sponsor Research connector gives you access to YTSponsorDB’s YouTube creator and sponsorship data **directly inside Claude (!!)
This guide will show you exactly how to get started and use the MCP to find and enrich creators tuned perfectly to your brand, and search deals by brand or creator.
Enjoy, Ramsey (YTsponsorDB)
Most creator tools are databases (static lists with static tags).
Sponsor Research works differently.
No database. Every search runs live. The pipeline searches YouTube + a dozen other sources in real time, as if you were the brand's ideal customer.
Tagging happens on the fly. As it watches, it scores each channel for sponsorship activity, audience fit, and topic relevance; tuned to the brand you're searching for.
Multiple sources, one answer. YouTube data + partner enrichment + our own sponsorship and trust-score data, fused into a single ranked output.
The config does the heavy lifting. Knowing which questions to ask up front (and which to skip) is what keeps results sharp without burning budget.
Why it matters: results match how you actually think about a brand's ideal creator, not how a database happened to classify them.
