## Documentation & README

# ViralHunt MCP Server

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for **[ViralHunt.io](https://viralhunt.io)** — the
all-in-one platform to **discover what's trending, curate it with your team, and publish everywhere**.
A BuzzSumo alternative with a built-in cross-network scheduler and an API that AI agents can drive
end to end.

## What an agent can do through this MCP server

These are the tools this server exposes (they drive the full **discover → time it → publish → verify →
correct** loop). Every number comes with its sample size and time window, so an agent can say how
much to trust it:

| Tool | What it does |
|------|--------------|
| `viralhunt_trending` | **Find topics** — what's going viral on TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, Pinterest, Bluesky, Douyin, Reddit, Mastodon, Tumblr, Hacker News and news RSS, ranked by viral score, each post with `growth_24h` (how much it moved between our two most distant readings) |
| `viralhunt_best_time` | **When to post** — best weekday + hour per network from the posts that went viral there (365-day sample, hit rate, sample size, your time zone, optional niche keyword) |
| `viralhunt_top_hashtags` | **Which hashtags** — top tags per network or across all, by engagement, posts or per-post; one tag's breakdown by network |
| `viralhunt_trending_sounds` | **Which sound** — trending audio on TikTok, Instagram Reels and Douyin, cross-network sounds first, with the posts that used it |
| `viralhunt_best_communities` | **Where to post** — best subreddits (peak per 1,000 members, timing, top posts, similar) and Bluesky custom feeds for a topic |
| `viralhunt_targets` | List your **brands/projects** and the connected accounts you can post to |
| `viralhunt_schedule` | **Publish now or schedule** a post (text + media) across your connected accounts |
| `viralhunt_get_post` | Check a post's status + per-network permalinks |
| `viralhunt_update_post` | Edit a still-scheduled post (body / media / networks / time) |
| `viralhunt_cancel_post` | Cancel the not-yet-published targets of a scheduled post |
| `viralhunt_list_templates` | Browse the **content template** library (on-brand layouts you fill) |
| `viralhunt_get_template` | Get one template's full spec (html + css + variable manifest) to render |
| `viralhunt_upsert_template` | **Author or edit a template** — editing a curated one clones it into your copy (owner/admin) |
| `viralhunt_assign_template` | Assign a template to a project so its agents can use it (owner/admin) |
| `viralhunt_board_context` | The team's **Editorial Board** in one call: members (with ids), columns, categories |
| `viralhunt_create_card` | **Hand a post to a teammate** — create a kanban card (URL metadata auto-filled, assignee, priority, due date, category) |
| `viralhunt_move_card` | Move a card to another column (the `is_done` column completes it) |
| `viralhunt_my_cards` | The cards assigned to you (when the token belongs to an agent member of the team) |
| `viralhunt_card_comments` | Read or add comments on a card (notifies the assignee, mirrors to team chat) |

Guardrails baked in: it won't post to the wrong brand, only schedules in the future, and is told not to
repost fake news / copyrighted media / spam.

## What ViralHunt the platform does (beyond this MCP)

ViralHunt is a full product; the tools above are the agent-drivable slice. The rest lives in the app
(and some via the [REST API](https://viralhunt.io/api)):

- **Trending Radar** — a live cross-network feed of viral content by niche and time window.
- **Cross-network publishing & scheduling** — schedule/publish to **up to 11 networks** (Instagram,
  Facebook, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Telegram, Google Business),
  per brand.
- **Editorial Board (team)** — a kanban to curate before publishing: columns, categories, assignments,
  comments and team chat, so a team manages what goes out. (Cards/columns/comments are in the REST API.)
- **Auto-DM (comment → DM automation)** — when someone comments your keyword on Instagram, ViralHunt
  auto-replies and sends them a DM — like ManyChat, but flat pricing, unlimited contacts, and a monthly
  cap that resets. Configured in the app (runs via webhooks); Facebook next.
- **Reports** — what each brand/network actually did: posts, reach, DMs sent, replies, top content.

> Note: Auto-DM and Reports are **product features**, not tools this MCP exposes today. The editorial
> board is exposed (context, cards, moves, comments) so an agent can hand content to a team instead
> of publishing it directly.
