Personal Channel Analytics
Analyze your own YouTube channel with real data from the YouTube Analytics API — actual views, revenue, audience demographics, traffic sources, and retention curves from the channels you've connected via OAuth.
Prerequisites
- Connected AI assistant — Claude or ChatGPT with NexLev MCP connected
- YouTube channel connected via OAuth — Link your channel at dashboard.nexlev.io/analytics
- Lite, Pro, or Premium plan — Free plans do not have access. Upgrade your plan to get started.
OAuth login required. These tools access your private YouTube Analytics data. API-key connections are blocked — you must connect via OAuth. Link your YouTube channel at dashboard.nexlev.io/analytics.
How to Start
Make sure your YouTube channel is connected at dashboard.nexlev.io/analytics, then mention your channel name in the prompt — Claude or ChatGPT will handle the rest:
Analyse my YouTube channel "your_channel_name"
Show me the last 28 days of stats for my channel "your_channel_name"
Give me a full health check of my YouTube channel "your_channel_name"
Mention your channel name in the prompt. Your AI assistant will match it to your connected channels and run the right tools automatically. If you have multiple channels connected, it will confirm which one you mean before running the analysis.
Tools
Full Channel Health Check
Paste this into your AI assistant to run a complete analysis:
I want a full health check of my YouTube channel.
1. List my connected channels, then pick the first one.
2. Get the channel overview.
3. Get channel analytics for the last 28 days.
4. Get the revenue report (if monetized).
5. Get my top 10 videos.
6. Get audience demographics.
7. Get traffic sources.
8. Get device and OS breakdown.
9. Get geographic audience data.
10. Get playback locations.
11. Get content sharing breakdown.
12. Get subscriber vs non-subscriber engagement.
Then pick my #1 video and run:
- Detailed video analytics for the last 28 days
- Audience retention curve
Finally, give me a channel health report with overall performance, strongest content, audience insights, retention analysis, and 5 actionable recommendations.
Troubleshooting
ACCESS DENIED on every tool
- Personal Channel Analytics requires an Lite, Pro, or Premium plan. Upgrade your plan to unlock access.
- API key connections are blocked — these tools are OAuth-only. Connect via the AI assistant's connector settings (see Quickstart).
AUTH_REQUIRED error
- Your OAuth session has expired. Re-authenticate by reconnecting in your AI assistant's connector settings or re-authorising at dashboard.nexlev.io/analytics.
Channel ... is not connected to your account
- The
channel_idyou passed is not linked to your NexLev account. Calllist_my_youtube_channelsto see your connected channels and use one of those IDs.
No channels returned by list_my_youtube_channels
- You haven't linked a YouTube channel yet. Go to dashboard.nexlev.io/analytics and connect your channel via OAuth.
Revenue report returns "not monetized" message
- Your channel is not in the YouTube Partner Program. This is expected behaviour — the tool returns a friendly message rather than an error.
Video analytics returns data without revenue
- If your channel is not monetized, revenue metrics are automatically excluded. This is expected.
Empty data arrays for a valid channel
- The channel may have no activity in the requested date range. Try widening the date range or use the default (last 28 days).
