Common questions
Is Viral Swipe File safe?
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.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
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.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.0) reached the registry 13 days 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 in developer mode.
What can I use instead?

Viral Swipe File plugin
Know what to post next on TikTok and Instagram Reels. This plugin connects Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and Grok to a curated library of short-form videos that went viral, filed by niche and format, so your assistant writes hooks and content ideas from real posts. Each video comes with its hook, caption, views, engagement and viral factor, and a link to watch it.
Viral Swipe File files each video under a niche and one or more formats (selfie with background, face close-up, story in slideshow and more). Viral factor is how many times more views a video got than its account usually gets: 10x is ten times its usual, so a small account's breakout ranks next to a big one's.
The plugin reaches the library over MCP and adds skills that tell your assistant how to find, quote and learn from the videos.
What you can ask
- "What should I post this week for a fitness client?"
- "Show me the viral hooks in finance, then write 5 for my budgeting app."
- "Which video formats work best for astrology on TikTok?"
- "What are this creator's best videos?"
- "Turn my team's saved videos into a UGC brief."
The server also offers five ready-made prompts: what to post next, viral hooks in my niche, swipe a creator's best videos, hooks for my product or client, and formats that work in a niche. In Claude, open a chat's + menu and pick Viral Swipe File.

Install
Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add viralswipefile/viralswipefile-pluginclaude plugin install viralswipefile@viralswipefile
Codex reads .codex-plugin/plugin.json. ChatGPT uses the root plugin.json and mcp.json.
Cursor: add this repository from the Cursor plugin marketplace, or point Cursor at it as a plugin repository.
Grok: grok loads it from ~/.grok/plugins/, or pass the cloned repository with --plugin-dir.
Any MCP client, without the skills
claude mcp add --transport http viralswipefile https://viralswipefile.com/api/mcpOn claude.ai, add https://viralswipefile.com/api/mcp as a custom connector.
Sign-in and the data it sends
Connecting opens a browser sign-in to your Viral Swipe File account (OAuth 2.1). There is no API key to copy. The plugin requests read access to the library and to the videos your team saved on the site. Every tool is read-only: it cannot save, remove or post anything.
The plugin talks to one server, viralswipefile.com. When your assistant calls a tool, the tool's arguments, such as a niche, a format or a search term, are sent to that server. Viral Swipe File counts each call (except list_niches and list_formats) against your team's usage, with the AI client's name, and records every call in its product analytics (PostHog): the tool name, its arguments (an argument containing an email address or a phone or card number is replaced first), timing, how the call turned out (how many results, or that nothing matched, the call was refused or it failed), errors, your account identifier and the AI client's name and version. Calls made close together are grouped into a session (for ChatGPT, by the anonymous conversation id it sends). It does not record what the tool returned, only how many results. Nothing else from your conversation or your machine is sent. See the privacy policy.
Scope
A library of past viral videos, not a live trend feed. TikTok and Instagram Reels only, not YouTube or long-form video. No analytics for your own account. It links to videos and never downloads or reposts them.
