Nuclear spins are candidates to encode qubits or qudits due to their isolation from magnetic noise and potentially long coherence times. However, their weak coupling to external stimuli makes them hard to integrate into circuit-QED architectures, the leading technology for solid-state quantum processors. Here, we study the coupling of $^{173}$Yb(III) nuclear spin states in an [Yb(trensal)] molecule to superconducting cavities. Experiments have been performed on magnetically diluted single crystals placed on the inductors of lumped-element $LC$ superconducting resonators with characteristic frequencies spanning the range of nuclear and electronic spin transitions. We achieve a high cooperative coupling to all electronic and most nuclear [$^{173}$Yb(trensal)] spin transitions. This result is a big leap towards the implementation of qudit protocols with molecular spins using a hybrid architecture.
