Adding a "Listed on Spark" Badge to Your README

To further promote your project's presence on Spark, consider adding a badge to your README file. Here's an example of how you can do this using Markdown:

[![Listed on Spark](https://img.shields.io/badge/Listed%20on-Spark-brightgreen)](https://spark.entire.vc/assets/vb-youtube-mcp)

This code will display a badge that links directly to your project's listing on Spark. You can customize the badge's appearance by modifying the URL parameters. For example, you can change the color or text.

Here's how to add the badge to your README.md file:

1. Open your project's README.md file in a text editor.
2. Paste the Markdown code snippet into the file, typically near the top of the document.
3. Save the changes and commit them to your repository.
