Tukey

Tukey is an Opportunity Radar tailored to a creator's YouTube channel or public Instagram account. Its OAuth MCP server surfaces timely and evergreen video or Reel ideas, plus early-watch signals on emerging topics. Each idea explains why it fits and why now, with dated sources where available. It never publishes to creator accounts.

Documentation

Decide what video or Reel to make next

Tukey studies one connected creator account — a YouTube channel, or a public Instagram account you confirm — and proposes specific video or Reel ideas for it, each with the evidence behind it where that evidence exists. Tukey surfaces. You decide.

Tukey brings channel intelligence, emerging opportunities, and evidence to creators and authorized AI agents. It is not a general purpose content generator.

Start with 3 days of free access from the moment your account is created. No card required. Free access never enrolls or charges you automatically. It ends exactly 72 hours after signup; connecting a channel or logging in never restarts it.

Two ways to connect an account

YouTube and Instagram. TikTok and other platforms are not available. One connected creator account per Tukey account; a YouTube channel connects to only one Tukey account.

YouTube

YouTube connects through Google, which confirms you manage the channel. Tukey then profiles the channel from its public videos and prepares the first ideas.

Instagram

Instagram does not require a login. Tukey reads at most 12 public Reels chosen from at most 48 observed, once, and you confirm the result explicitly. Neither public readability nor your confirmation verifies control or ownership of the account.

What an opportunity contains

Every idea Tukey lists for your account carries the same parts, so you can judge it before you spend a day on it.

Working title

A title you can start from — not the final one.

Premise and angle

What the video or Reel is, and the take that makes it yours.

Hook

How it opens.

Why it fits

Account fit: how the idea matches the topics, formats, voice and audience in Tukey's profile of your account.

Why now

What is happening around the topic at the moment, where that is known.

How much evidence backs it

A count of dated public sources, which can be zero.

Ideas are grouped by how the demand behind them is moving:

  • Timely. Live, rising community demand right now — best made soon.
  • Evergreen. Durable demand seen across multiple weeks — safe to make any time.
  • Early-watch. An early burst with thin history — not yet a make-now call.

Early-watch items are signals to follow, not recommendations.

Account fit is not the same as evidence

Account fit

Why this idea matches your account: its topics, content pillars, formats, recurring series, voice, hooks and intended audience, as Tukey profiled them from your public videos or public Reels. Fit comes from your own account, not from a trend list.

Dated external evidence

The public sources behind the idea — each with the community it came from, its title, its link and its date — so you can read what people are actually saying and judge the demand yourself.

Some ideas have no citations. An idea can rest on account fit alone, and Tukey says so rather than inventing sources: its evidence count is zero and there is nothing to open. Treat those as fit-only suggestions, and check the evidence of the others before you commit. A connected assistant is given the same instruction — if no idea has citations, say so.

An illustrative decision

Illustrative only. The channel, ideas and sources below are invented to show the shape of a decision. They are not real Tukey output, not a real creator, and not a measurement of anything.

An imagined woodworking channel whose profile shows a practical-walkthrough format, a gear-on-a-budget pillar and a recurring beginner series. Three ideas are listed:

  1. Timely — “The one setting that made my footage look expensive.” Why it fits: the walkthrough format and the budget pillar. Why now: two communities the audience frequents discussed the same frustration this week. Evidence: 3 dated sources.
  2. Evergreen — “What I would buy first if I started over.” Why it fits: the beginner series and a question the audience keeps asking. Evidence: none — this idea rests on account fit alone.
  3. Early-watch — an emerging format in the niche. A signal to follow, not a recommendation yet. Evidence: 1 dated source.

The decision: open the three sources behind the first idea and read them; if the frustration is real and recent, start that one. Keep the second for a quieter week — it fits, but nothing outside the channel is asking for it right now. Leave the third until its history is thicker. Tukey surfaces the three; the creator makes the call.

Your next steps

  1. A Tukey account. No invitation or card needed to start (1260 Welcome Credits for 7 days).
  2. One connected creator account: a YouTube channel verified through Google, or a public Instagram account you confirm after Tukey reads it.
  3. A finished profile of that account before ideas appear.
  4. Read the ideas in Tukey, open the evidence behind the ones that have it, then record your decision: keep to save or shortlist, weak for a weak fit, reject to dismiss the topic for a while — or start one as a Tukey video workspace.
  5. Optional: connect your AI assistant. Listed in the Claude Connectors Directory at https://claude.ai/directory/tukey; elsewhere, including ChatGPT, added as a custom connector where the plan and workspace settings allow custom connectors.

Requires a ChatGPT or Claude plan that allows custom connectors. ChatGPT and Claude subscriptions are billed separately. Tukey usage counts toward included allowances or uses Credits where applicable.

What Tukey does not do

  • Instagram. Instagram does not require a login: control or ownership is not verified; no private data or direct messages are accessed; and no views, private analytics, reach or verified audience data are provided.
  • Your accounts stay yours. Never publishes to or changes a creator's YouTube or Instagram account.
  • No analytics through MCP. No per-video view counts or performance analytics. Per-video performance analytics through these tools — no view counts, last-video or per-video metrics.
  • Only your own account. Analysis of other creators' channels or accounts — only the user's own connected account.
  • No promises. No guarantee of views, growth, virality or outcomes.
  • MCP scope. Not every Tukey Workspace feature is available through MCP.
