# vidIQ MCP: Use vidIQ in Slack and Email

Source: https://maito.app/integrations/vidiq

Connect the vidIQ MCP server to Maito with one sign-in, and your whole team can use it from Slack or email: “What video topics are trending in our niche this month?”

vidIQ is research for YouTube, Instagram and TikTok: topics, keywords and what's working. Connect the vidIQ MCP server to Maito once, and everyone on your team can use vidIQ from Slack, by email, or from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse. Nobody else has to sign in.

Maito uses vidIQ to do the work and replies where you asked.

## How to connect vidIQ

Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to vidIQ. You sign in to vidIQ in a new tab, and that's the whole setup. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use vidIQ from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if vidIQ isn't connected yet.

## Questions

### What is the vidIQ MCP server URL?

vidIQ publishes it at https://mcp.vidiq.com/mcp, and it signs in with OAuth, so there's no key to copy.

### Can I use the vidIQ MCP server from Slack?

Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.

### Does everyone on my team have to connect vidIQ?

No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use vidIQ, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.

### Do I have to connect vidIQ before I ask?

No. If a request needs vidIQ and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.

### Can I limit what Maito does in vidIQ?

Yes. After you connect, turn off any vidIQ tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools vidIQ adds later stay off until you turn them on.
