Research YouTube outliers and trending videos, with MCP tools for compatible AI assistants.
ShortsMonkey YouTube outlier research dashboard
Overview
What is ShortsMonkey?
Find high-performing YouTube videos beyond the biggest channels.
ShortsMonkey helps YouTube creators research outlier videos and choose topics using performance data. It covers Shorts and long-form videos, including strong performers from smaller channels. Creators can compare views with subscriber counts, narrow results by niche, revisit research history, and export data to CSV.
For AI-assisted research, ShortsMonkey provides MCP tools that compatible clients such as Cursor can use to retrieve trending Shorts, search outlier videos, and analyze individual videos. The AI client uses these tools to access video research data; ShortsMonkey does not generate or edit videos and is not an autonomous publishing agent.
A permanent free plan is available, with paid plans for additional access. The product is useful for independent creators and teams researching YouTube content ideas.
