UGC analytics and Creator Hub for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube: tracking, campaigns, jobs, events.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 1 of 1 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.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 31 days ago.
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 in developer mode.

Official viral.app plugins and install shortcuts for coding agents and chat apps. One install connects your agent to the viral.app MCP server: 100+ tools for UGC analytics, account and video tracking, tags and tag workflows, the Creator Hub (campaigns, briefs, job postings, applications, creator chat, payouts), the viral video library, and live TikTok/Instagram/YouTube/Facebook lookups. Plugins also bring seven skills that teach the agent the workflows.
The MCP server lives at https://viral.app/api/mcp (streamable HTTP, OAuth). You need a viral.app account with API access. Manage everything at viral.app/app/org/api/agents.
Every client signs in with OAuth in your browser. viral.app supports dynamic client registration, so you never paste a client ID, secret, or API key. During consent you pick one organization.
Chat apps: Claude.ai and Claude Desktop · ChatGPT · Grok · Other chat apps
Plugins (MCP server + skills): Claude Code · Codex CLI · GitHub Copilot CLI · VS Code · Cursor · Gemini CLI · Qwen Code · Kiro · Devin · Factory Droid · Grok Build
MCP server only: Augment · JetBrains Junie · OpenCode · Amp · Goose · Zed · Warp · Mistral Vibe · Any other MCP client
Add a custom connector with this URL, and leave client ID and secret empty:
https://viral.app/api/mcp
Open the connector settings or go to Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector.
Results such as top videos, creators, campaigns and KPI charts render as interactive cards in Claude on the web, Desktop and mobile.
Install the viral.app plugin for ChatGPT.
On grok.com, open Connectors, choose New Connector, then Custom, and paste https://viral.app/api/mcp.
For Grok Bot, install viral.app from its Marketplace once it is listed there.
These accept a custom remote MCP URL with OAuth. Use https://viral.app/api/mcp:
viralapp.claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/fmd-labs/viral-app-agents
claude plugin install viral-app@viral-app
Or interactively: /plugin marketplace add https://github.com/fmd-labs/viral-app-agents, then /plugin install viral-app. Afterwards run /mcp, pick viral_app, and authenticate in the browser. The fmd-labs/viral-app-agents shorthand also works if you have GitHub SSH access.
codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/fmd-labs/viral-app-agents
codex plugin add viral-app@viral-app
Or interactively: /plugins in the Codex TUI. Start a new session afterwards, then authenticate with codex mcp login viral_app.
Requires Codex CLI 0.147 or newer. Older versions fail the OAuth login with an "Authorization server response missing required issuer" error (a Codex bug fixed in 0.147.0); update with npm install -g @openai/codex@latest and retry.
If you only want the MCP server without the plugin:
codex mcp add viral_app --url https://viral.app/api/mcp
codex mcp login viral_app
copilot plugin marketplace add fmd-labs/viral-app-agents
copilot plugin install viral-app@viral-app
Install the plugin (MCP server and skills) through agent plugins. Add the marketplace to your user settings:
"chat.plugins.enabled": true,
"chat.plugins.marketplaces": ["fmd-labs/viral-app-agents"]
Then search @agentPlugins in the Extensions view and install viral-app.
For the MCP server alone:
Or add to .vscode/mcp.json:
{ "servers": { "viral_app": { "type": "http", "url": "https://viral.app/api/mcp" } } }
Or add to .cursor/mcp.json:
{ "mcpServers": { "viral_app": { "type": "http", "url": "https://viral.app/api/mcp" } } }
This repo also ships a Cursor plugin manifest (.cursor-plugin/) that bundles the MCP server and skills for the Cursor Marketplace.
gemini extensions install https://github.com/fmd-labs/viral-app-agents
Restart Gemini CLI, then run /mcp auth viral_app to sign in.
qwen extensions install fmd-labs/viral-app-agents:viral-app
You get the MCP server and the skills; check the connection with /mcp.
In the Powers panel choose Add Custom Power, then Import power from GitHub, and enter:
https://github.com/fmd-labs/viral-app-agents
devin plugins install fmd-labs/viral-app-agents#plugins/viral-app
Sign in to Devin first (devin auth login) if you have not, then run devin mcp login viral_app to connect viral.app.
droid plugin marketplace add https://github.com/fmd-labs/viral-app-agents
droid plugin install viral-app@viral-app-agents --scope user
Droid names the marketplace after the repository, hence @viral-app-agents. Run /mcp to finish the browser sign-in.
grok plugin marketplace add fmd-labs/viral-app-agents
grok plugin install viral-app --trust
The CLI refuses to install a plugin until you pass --trust.
These clients get the MCP server without the bundled skills.
auggie mcp add viral_app --transport http --url https://viral.app/api/mcp
In the IDE extension: Settings, MCP, Add remote MCP, connection type HTTP.
Add to .junie/mcp/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.junie/mcp/mcp.json), or use Settings, Tools, Junie, MCP Settings:
{ "mcpServers": { "viral_app": { "url": "https://viral.app/api/mcp" } } }
In the Junie CLI, run /mcp, select viral_app, and choose Authorize.
Add to opencode.json:
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "mcp": { "viral_app": { "type": "remote", "url": "https://viral.app/api/mcp" } } }
Then run opencode mcp auth viral_app.
amp mcp add viral_app https://viral.app/api/mcp
Amp opens the browser sign-in on its next start.
Open this link to add the extension to Goose Desktop (GitHub does not render goose:// links, so copy it into your browser):
goose://extension?type=streamable_http&url=https%3A%2F%2Fviral.app%2Fapi%2Fmcp&id=viral_app&name=viral.app&description=UGC%20analytics%20and%20tracking%20from%20viral.app
In the CLI: goose configure, Add Extension, Remote Extension (Streamable HTTP), URL https://viral.app/api/mcp.
To add the skills as well, run goose plugin install https://github.com/fmd-labs/viral-app-agents.git. Goose loads them as viral-app:viral-app-mcp, viral-app:ugc-reporting, and so on.
Add to your Zed settings, or use Settings, AI, MCP Servers, Add Server, Add Remote Server:
{ "context_servers": { "viral_app": { "url": "https://viral.app/api/mcp" } } }
Zed prompts you to sign in.
Settings, Agents, MCP servers, Add, then paste:
{ "mcpServers": { "viral_app": { "url": "https://viral.app/api/mcp" } } }
vibe mcp add viral_app --url https://viral.app/api/mcp
Point the client at https://viral.app/api/mcp with streamable HTTP and OAuth. The server publishes standard OAuth discovery metadata and supports dynamic client registration, so no pre-shared credentials are needed. Its official MCP Registry name is io.github.fmd-labs/viral-app.
Plugins bundle seven skills. Agents load them on demand, and each keeps longer material in a references/ folder next to it.
| Skill | Use it for |
|---|---|
viral-app-mcp | The core guide: connecting and auth, the credit quote-then-confirm flow, rules for writes that reach creators, ids and units, what MCP cannot do, and which skill to load next |
ugc-reporting | Weekly or monthly UGC reports, KPI and leaderboard recipes with period-over-period change, cards in Claude and ChatGPT, Slack summaries, recurring reports through scheduled tasks or a ChatGPT page |
creator-briefs | Creator briefs the way viral.app's Copilot writes them: the product, proven sample videos from the viral library or your own videos, the brief's structure, numbered samples, who reads it and whether to notify; MCP or the REST API with an API key |
creator-management | The creator roster day to day: adding creators one by one or from a CSV, invitations, linking social accounts, direct and group chats, broadcasts, nudges for stuck creators, and roster audits; MCP or REST |
creator-campaigns | Creator Hub end to end: guided campaign setup with benchmarks and the preview step, pay changes and custom rates, creator assignment and unassigning, job postings (writing, benchmarks, publishing), applications, and payout reads |
viral-research | The viral video library, similar videos, hook and scene breakdowns, AI analysis of tracked videos, live lookups, and turning findings into hooks and a brief |
ugc-automations | "Watch for X and do Y": MCP Events in ChatGPT, polling fallbacks for other clients, latency per event, and handling untrusted creator text |
