Q: MCP inclusion, Webhook/API access and 7-day Rule
Your app looks very promising. Three questions:
1. Can you confirm that AppSumo Tier 3 includes full lifetime MCP access, including transcript retrieval, `query_content`, and channel-management tools?
2. When a video is processed via the API or an auto-subscribed YouTube channel, can the webhook return the full transcript, or at least a transcript ID/URL that can be retrieved...

A: Hi Bill,
1. Tier 3 & MCP — Yes, Tier 3 includes developer API, MCP, and webhooks. Full tool set: summarize, query_content, search, manage_channels, manage_collections, manage_credits. Transcripts come via query_content with resource="transcripts" — text, markdown, JSON with timestamps, VTT, or SRT.
2. The full transcript comes inline in the payload, no second call or ID lookup needed. The...
Q: Quizzes, infographs and flash cards - any updated on which formats we can repurpose?
Looks like we can now embed quizzes, infographs and flashcards - but can we now post these formats directly to social media and/or download them in social media-ready formats? Please tell us all the formats that create social media-ready content and all the formats that are embeddable.

You can embed the quiz and flashcards and download the infographic images. However, they are not yet formatted for social media. Feel free to add this to our feature request list with details on what you’d like to see: https://roadmap.tubeonai.com/?t=requests
What models can we use the byok with? On the sales page, it mentions that we can "choose the right AI models for your workflow," "switch between the latest top-tier AI models based on your preferences," and "route different tasks to different models for optimal results." However, I noticed in the Facebook group that there have been updates regarding the AI models, specifically referring to "your...

A: Hi,
With BYOK, you can use provider APIs like OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini. Also, we are considering supporting OpenRouter, which will be available soon.
And regarding the model reference change, that's not going to impact BYOK or other usage at all in terms of quality and compatibility.
Hope I was able to explain this to you. If you have any further questions, let me know.
eg. How many 5 minute videos can I create a transcript for? eg. How many credits are consumed per minutes of video transcription?

A: Hi,
If you are talking about 5-minute video transcripts, you can generate quite a lot as long as your credits support it. It won't consume much if it's hassle-free.
but, we have a 300-minute limit cap for videos or audio without transcripts on the Tier 3 plan, which roughly comes out to 60 videos you will be able to transcribe.
There are also lots of other features like auto summary, content...
Does the current September 2026 AppSumo License Tier 1 include permanent access to both the REST Developer API and MCP server, including creation of personal API keys (pk_live_) and MCP tokens (mcp_pat_)? If so, are API/MCP calls included for the lifetime of the AppSumo license, and what usage/credit limits apply when using BYOK?

A: Hi,
We will soon enable MCP and Developer API access, which will be available for Tier 3 users only.
Thanks for confirming. For Tier 3, will the upcoming Developer API and MCP access be included permanently as part of the AppSumo lifetime license, with no separate subscription or usage fees? Also, will Tier 3 API/MCP usage have any separate rate limits, monthly quotas, or restrictions beyond the normal Tier 3 limits, and will API/MCP actions consume the same monthly credits/allowances as actions
Thanks, that clarifies the lifetime API/MCP access. One last question: how are the 60,000 monthly credits consumed when using the API or MCP? For example, what would it cost in credits to submit and process a 30-minute YouTube video through the API, retrieve its transcript/summary, or perform an MCP action? Is there a published credit-cost table for API/MCP operations?

Yes it's part of the lifetime deal & falls under 60,000 credits limit.
