What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 10, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
get_sample_creatorUse this when a user wants to see what Influship can return before linking an account. Fetches one configured sample creator with social profile context. This is a preview tool and should not be used for search, discovery, matching, or comparison requests. After showing the previ
search_creatorsFind a creator by name/handle, while preserving legacy semantic creator search. Use this as the default creator lookup tool when the user gives a creator-ish string but not a canonical creator UUID: a handle, partial handle, display name, creator name, or profile-ish text. This i
semantic_search_creatorsSemantic discovery search for influencers/content creators using natural-language queries. Use this only when the user asks to discover creators by topic, audience, geography, niche, content style, or campaign criteria (e.g., "fitness creators in NYC", "vegan recipe creators with
autocomplete_creatorsAutocomplete creator names, usernames, or display names from partial input. Use this for fast lookup when the user types a partial handle or name and you need to resolve it to canonical creator IDs (e.g., "find @cris" or "who's that fitness coach called Jane?"). Cheap and fast —
find_lookalike_creatorsFind creators SIMILAR to one or more seed creators. Use this when the user already knows a creator they like and wants more like them (e.g., "find creators like @therock", "find more creators like these three I just booked"). Seeds are blended via creator-profile + visual-style +
match_creatorsScore how well specific creators fit a campaign brief or search intent. Use this when the user already has candidate creators in mind and wants to evaluate fit (e.g., "rate these 5 creators for a vegan cookbook launch", "which of these is the best match for my crypto audience?").
get_creatorFetch the full record for a single creator by ID or exact platform username. Use this when you already have either: - a canonical creator UUID returned by `search_creators`, `semantic_search_creators`, `autocomplete_creators`, or `find_lookalike_creators`; or - an exact platform+
get_profileFetch a single social profile by (platform, username). Always use this first when the user gives an exact handle on a specific platform (for example "@niickjackson on Instagram") and you need the full profile: bio, follower/engagement metrics, recent activity, growth, and the can
lookup_profilesBatch-fetch up to 100 profiles by (platform, username) pairs. Use this when the user has a list of handles and you need profile data for all of them at once (e.g., "give me follower counts for these 30 accounts I'm considering" or "which of @a @b @c are real accounts?"). One roun
get_postsFetch a creator's posts, sorted and paginated. Use this when the user asks to see what a creator has posted (e.g., "show me Jane's last 20 posts", "what are this creator's top-engagement reels?", "pull recent posts from creator-id ABC"). Identify the creator by either `creator_id
get_instagram_profileRetrieve a live Instagram profile by exact public username, including biography, follower and following counts, verification, and collection time. Optionally include 1–50 recent posts with captions, public links, likes, comments, video views, and publish times. Unavailable view c
get_instagram_postFetch raw Instagram post-page data by shortcode. Use this when the user needs fresh raw Instagram post metadata that is not guaranteed on regular cached post-list endpoints yet, including coauthors, tagged users, paid partnership metadata, product mentions, music attribution, loc
get_instagram_postsFetch raw Instagram post-page data for a bounded list of shortcodes through the raw API. Transient upstream recovery is handled automatically within the request deadline. Returns one item per requested shortcode with per-item success or error details.
get_instagram_post_transcriptTranscribe an Instagram video post by shortcode through the raw API. The response includes raw post metadata on a transcript cache miss. A cache hit omits the post field; use `get_instagram_post` when you need post metadata with a cached transcript.
get_instagram_post_transcriptsTranscribe a bounded list of Instagram video posts by shortcode through the raw API. Each successful item includes transcript data. The nested post field is present on cache misses and omitted on cache hits; use `get_instagram_posts` when you also need post metadata for every sho
get_tiktok_profileFetch a current, normalized TikTok profile by username. Returns identity, biography, verification, and audience metrics. A leading @ is accepted and usernames are normalized. This is a metered live-data request.
list_tiktok_profile_videosFetch one cursor-paginated page of current TikTok videos for a username. Use the returned cursor to paginate and choose latest or popular ordering. Media URLs are temporary. Content always resolves against the US region. Each successful page, including an empty page, costs 0.2 ac
get_tiktok_videosFetch 1–20 TikTok video URLs in input order, with per-item success or error results. Duplicate entries remain distinct. Each successful entry costs 0.2 account credits.
get_tiktok_video_transcriptsFetch transcripts for 1–10 TikTok URLs in input order, with per-item results. Auto mode costs 2.5 account credits per successful entry. Captions mode never generates transcripts and costs 0.2 per successful entry. Duplicate entries remain distinct.
get_tiktok_musicFetch sound clip metadata by music_id. Unknown fields are null. Audio and cover URLs are temporary, not durable downloads. This is a metered request.
search_tiktok_usersFetch one page of TikTok user search results. Unknown profile fields are null. Continue with next_cursor and the same query; cursors are opaque. Each successful page, including an empty page, costs 0.2 account credits.
search_tiktok_videosFetch one relevance-ordered page of TikTok videos. Continue with next_cursor and the same query. Duplicate results are preserved. Media links are temporary. Each successful page, including an empty page, costs 0.2 account credits.
get_tiktok_video_captionsFetch available captions without generating a transcript. Missing captions return an error. Successful requests, including cached captions, cost 0.2 credits.
list_tiktok_hashtag_videosFetch one page of videos under a hashtag, supplied without #. Continue with next_cursor and the same hashtag. Duplicate results are preserved. Media links are temporary. Each successful page, including an empty page, costs 0.2 account credits.
list_tiktok_music_videosFetch one page of videos using a sound clip music_id. Continue with next_cursor and the same music_id; cursors are opaque. Duplicate results are preserved. Media links are temporary. Each successful page, including an empty page, costs 0.2 account credits.
get_tiktok_videoFetch normalized details and current engagement metrics for a TikTok video URL. Canonical video URLs and TikTok share URLs are accepted. Returned media URLs are temporary. Content always resolves against the US region. Each successful request costs 0.2 account credits.
list_tiktok_video_commentsFetch one cursor-paginated page of current comments for a TikTok video URL. Pass the returned cursor to retrieve the next page. This is a metered live-data request.
list_tiktok_comment_repliesFetch one page of replies to a numeric parent comment ID. Keep the video URL and parent ID unchanged when passing the returned cursor. Each successful page costs 0.2 credits.
get_tiktok_video_transcriptFetch or generate a normalized TikTok video transcript. Returns plain text and timestamped segments. A previously collected transcript can be reused. Each successful request costs 2.5 account credits, including a reused result, and may take longer when transcription must be gener
get_youtube_channelFetch a current YouTube channel by handle, channel ID, or URL. Optionally includes recent videos. This is a metered live-data request.
get_youtube_video_transcriptFetch a normalized transcript for a YouTube video ID. Returns plain text, timestamped segments, and available caption languages. This is a metered request and may take longer when captions must be resolved.
get_youtube_channel_transcriptsFetch transcripts for a selected batch of videos from a YouTube channel. Choose the video count, ordering, language, and whether timestamped segments are included. This is a metered batch request.
search_youtubeSearch current YouTube results with discovery filters and cursor pagination. Filter by upload window, popularity, result type, duration, country, and language. Pass next_cursor back as cursor for the next page. Each page is one metered request.
get_youtube_videoFetch fresh metadata and engagement for a YouTube video ID. Returns exact publication data when available, plus views, likes, comments, duration, tags, categories, and channel identity. This is a metered live-data request.
get_youtube_typeaheadFetch current localized YouTube query suggestions for a partial phrase. Useful for expanding topic seeds before search. This is a metered live-data request.
render_creator_shortlistUse this when discovery or lookup tools have returned results and the user would benefit from scanning 1–8 creator cards. Pass search_id after semantic_search_creators so the exact ranking, confidence, and evidence are preserved. Pass creator_ids only for name/handle lookup resul
render_creator_profileUse this when the user wants a visual deep dive on one canonical creator ID. It fetches the current creator record plus up to six recent posts and may consume Influship account or API usage.
render_creator_comparisonUse this when the user has 2–4 canonical creator IDs and a specific campaign brief. It fetches current creator details, scores each creator against the brief, and renders a side-by-side comparison. This may consume Influship account or API usage.
get_more_toolsCheck for additional tools whenever your task might benefit from specialized capabilities - even if existing tools could work as a fallback.
send_feedbackSend feedback about this server to its developers. Most important: report a missing capability whenever no available tool fits your task, even if you can work around it (feedback_type "missing_capability"). Also welcome: a tool that failed or confused you, an unhelpful error, or

Common questions
Is Influship safe?
It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: INFLUSHIP_API_KEY, X-API-Key
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 5 months ago, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 6 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT Business and above.
What can I use instead?
In the same category: Ruflo, Context7, Metabase

Influship MCP
AI-native creator discovery for influencer marketing workflows. Influship gives ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible agents typed tools for creator search, lookalikes, profile lookup, post lookup, and Instagram post transcript analysis.
What Agents Can Do
- Search for creators by audience, niche, location, platform, and campaign-fit criteria.
- Find creator lookalikes from known winners or competitor talent lists.
- Resolve creator profiles and social handles across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube-oriented workflows.
- Pull creator records, posts, and Instagram transcript data into briefs, prospecting lists, market maps, and outreach research.
Remote Server
Use the hosted Streamable HTTP server when your MCP client supports remote MCP:
claude mcp add influship --transport http https://mcp.influship.com/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"
NPX / Stdio
Use the npm package for clients that only support stdio:
INFLUSHIP_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY npx -y @influship/mcp
The package is a small stdio bridge to the hosted Influship MCP server. It keeps the data, auth, billing, and rate limits on the same production API surface as the remote server.
For local development or staging:
INFLUSHIP_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY INFLUSHIP_MCP_URL=http://localhost:8080/mcp npx -y @influship/mcp

Publishing
The official MCP Registry metadata lives in server.json and advertises both the hosted Streamable HTTP server and the npm stdio package.
pnpm install
pnpm test pnpm build npm publish --access public
After npm publish, submit server.json with the official MCP Registry publisher and use this repository URL for directory submissions.
