Description from the maker (original English)
Social media data for AI agents: one MCP address, 18 platforms. Pay per call; failed calls are free.
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.
Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.
X-API-KeyValues marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

Which app do you use?
Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.
This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.
Run this in your terminal
claude mcp add --transport http socialtoai https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcp --header 'X-API-Key: your-value'Fill in the empty values before running it.

It passed 3 of 3 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.

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 (2.3.0) reached the registry yesterday.
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.

Social media MCP server: TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter), Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Pinterest, Telegram, Xiaohongshu (RedNote), Douyin, Weibo, Bilibili, Zhihu, Kuaishou, WeChat Articles and WeChat Channels, plus the Meta Ad Library and Google Ads Transparency Center. One hosted MCP address and one HTTPS API for public posts, comments, profiles and trending lists. No platform accounts, no cookies, no scraper to run.
SocialToAI is an API and MCP server that lets AI tools read publicly visible social media content (posts, comments, profiles and trends) from 18 platforms. It is billed in prepaid credits, and failed calls are free.
https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcphttps://api.socialtoai.com/v1This is a hosted remote server: there is nothing to install. ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor sign in with OAuth (an email code, then Allow), so no key is copied anywhere. Other clients send an API key in a header.
| Client | How |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | claude mcp add --transport http socialtoai https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcp, then /mcp → socialtoai → Authenticate |
| Codex | codex mcp add socialtoai --url https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcp (the browser opens to sign in) |
| Cursor | ~/.cursor/mcp.json: {"mcpServers":{"socialtoai":{"url":"https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcp"}}} |
| Claude (web, desktop) | Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcp → Connect |
| ChatGPT | Settings → Apps (developer mode) → Create → https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcp, authentication OAuth |
| Any other MCP client | URL https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcp, header Authorization: Bearer |
Where nobody can sign in (a server, CI, a script), use an API key. Create one in the console (it is shown once), keep it in the environment variable SOCIALTOAI_API_KEY, and send it in the Authorization: Bearer header:
export SOCIALTOAI_API_KEY="<YOUR_API_KEY>"
claude mcp add --transport http socialtoai https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALTOAI_API_KEY"
# Codex: ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.socialtoai] url = "https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcp" bearer_token_env_var = "SOCIALTOAI_API_KEY"
{
"mcpServers": { "socialtoai": { "url": "https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:SOCIALTOAI_API_KEY}" } } } }
Already connected over OAuth and want to write a script? Ask your AI to call the account tool: its for_scripts field says where to create a key and how to send it. No answer ever contains a key.
Every client, step by step: socialtoai.com/mcp.
Every action is one POST to https://api.socialtoai.com/v1/ with a JSON body:
curl https://api.socialtoai.com/v1/search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALTOAI_API_KEY" \ -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"platform": ["reddit", "xiaohongshu"], "query": "air fryer", "since": "2026-10-01"}'
GET /v1/capabilities and POST /v1/find need no key. The OpenAPI document is at socialtoai.com/openapi.json, and the whole API for an AI to read at socialtoai.com/llms.txt.
