An MCP server retrieving transcripts of YouTube videos
Description from the maker (original English)
Schedule, publish, and analyze social posts on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Threads, LinkedIn.
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.

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.

A Model Context Protocol server for the ViralNote social media API.
Plug it into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any other MCP-aware host and your agent can schedule posts, manage media, and read analytics across X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Bluesky, Threads, and Reddit — as native MCP tool calls. No glue code.
Install the extension from this repository:
gemini extensions install https://github.com/viralnote/mcp-server
Restart Gemini CLI, then run /mcp auth viralnote to sign in to your ViralNote account and authorize the connection. The extension uses the hosted HTTP server with OAuth; no API key or local server build is required. Start with a read such as "List my connected social accounts."
In Cline's MCP Servers screen, add a remote Streamable HTTP server named viralnote at https://dashboard.viralnote.app/api/mcp/mcp, then complete the OAuth sign-in. For the Cline CLI, run:
cline mcp install viralnote --transport http https://dashboard.viralnote.app/api/mcp/mcp
The wizard asks for authentication details before saving. See llms-install.md for the setup walkthrough and API-key alternative. Keep automatic approval disabled and verify the connection with a read before making changes.
Add to your MCP config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, similar on other platforms):
{
"mcpServers": { "viralnote": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@viralnote/mcp-server"], "env": { "VIRALNOTE_API_KEY": "vnd_..." } } } }
Restart your MCP host. The ViralNote tools will be available immediately.
This repo includes a root .mcp.json (Open Plugins standard) so tools like Cursor Directory can auto-detect the MCP server from the GitHub URL.
Once the plugin is published on Cursor Marketplace, you can install it directly from Cursor:
VIRALNOTE_API_KEYThe ViralNote tools will be immediately available in your Cursor environment.
npm install -g @viralnote/mcp-server
Then reference viralnote-mcp directly in your MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": { "viralnote": { "command": "viralnote-mcp", "env": { "VIRALNOTE_API_KEY": "vnd_..." } } } }

For most users, the HTTP MCP server at `https://viralnote.app/api/mcp/mcp` is simpler than installing this stdio package — see https://viralnote.app/developers/mcp for the HTTP config snippet. Use this stdio package when your MCP client doesn't support HTTP transport.
The underlying REST endpoints and request/response shapes are documented at viralnote.app/developers/docs.
