Swipefile

Save, organise, and manage your YouTube research directly from your AI assistant. The Swipefile tools let you create folders, save channels, videos, shorts, thumbnails, and video clips, and manage them — all through natural language without leaving your chat.

Prerequisites

Connected AI assistant — Claude or ChatGPT with NexLev MCP connected
Active NexLev account — Connect to your AI assistant to get started

Requires Lite, Pro, or Premium plan. Swipefile is not available on the Free plan.

Recommended workflow: Start by calling list_swipefile_folders to find an existing folder. If none fits, use create_swipefile_folder. Then use save_to_swipefile, forwarding rich fields (title, thumbnail, views, channel data) from other NexLev tool responses so your saved items display fully in the Swipefile UI.

Tools

`list_swipefile_folders`

List all swipefile folders you own or have been shared into. Use this as the first step before saving anything — pick an existing folder rather than creating a new one each time.

Example prompts:

List my swipefile folders

Show me all my research folders

Do I have a folder for finance channel research?

What it returns:

Field	Description
`id`, `name`	Folder identity
`privacySettings`	Public / private setting
`savedItems`	Total number of items saved in the folder
`isOwner`	Whether you are the owner or a shared collaborator

Parameters: None required. Returns all accessible folders for the authenticated user.

Troubleshooting

ACCESS DENIED on every call

Swipefile requires LITE plan or higher. Upgrade your plan in the dashboard.
API key callers are blocked — swipefile is OAuth-only. Make sure you're connected via OAuth (see Quickstart).

Saved item not showing in the UI

You likely saved a video/short/thumbnail without a ytChannelId. The listing aggregation joins items through their parent channel — items with no channel record are silently dropped from listings.
Re-save with ytChannelId included. Call youtube_video_details or channel_resolver to get the channel ID if you don't have it.

You can only modify swipefile items you created yourself

Update, move, and delete are restricted to the creator of each item. Ask the item's creator to make the change, or use list_swipefile_items to confirm ownership.

AUTH_REQUIRED error

Your OAuth session has expired. Re-authenticate by running /mcp → select nexlev → Authenticate in your CLI, or reconnect via the AI assistant's connector settings.
