Overview

The social-data-mcp MCP server exposes Apify-backed tools for X/Twitter profiles and tweets, YouTube videos and channels, and TikTok profiles and video statistics. It can run locally through npm and stdio with an Apify token, or remotely through Apify-hosted MCP endpoints. Use it when an agent needs structured social data without platform logins, cookies, or direct API keys, while accounting for per-result charges.

Use cases

  • Collect X/Twitter profiles and tweets
  • Filter YouTube videos by views, duration, or date
  • Inspect TikTok profiles and video statistics
  • Look up a single X/Twitter tweet
  • Run social-data queries through an MCP client

Key features

  • X/Twitter profiles, tweets, and single-tweet lookups
  • YouTube video and channel metadata
  • TikTok profiles and per-video statistics
  • Apify-hosted remote MCP access
  • Local npm stdio server
  • Agent Skills for all three data sources

How Social Data MCP works

What social-data-mcp MCP server does

The social-data-mcp MCP server combines three Apify Actors behind a single MCP entry point. Its X/Twitter tool covers profile data, tweets, single-tweet lookups, engagement filters, and incremental runs. The YouTube tool retrieves video metadata and channel data, with filters for views, duration, and date. The TikTok tool provides profile information and statistics for individual videos.

Each Actor charges by returned result. Listed rates are $0.005 per X/Twitter account, $0.0003 per tweet, and $0.005 per single-tweet lookup; $0.015 per YouTube video and $0.005 per channel; and $0.02 per TikTok profile and $0.01 per video.

How it works

The local package is a thin wrapper around Apify's @apify/actors-mcp-server. It starts that server with the three relevant Actors already selected, then exposes their operations through MCP over stdio. Agents send requests to the MCP server, while Apify runs the underlying scrapers and returns the resulting data.

A hosted option avoids local installation. Apify provides an MCP URL that can include all three Actors or a single Actor, and the client authenticates with an Apify account when prompted. The repository also publishes separate registry entries for the individual X/Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok servers. Agent Skills are available as another usage format; installing the repository adds one skill for each data source.

Setup and configuration

For the social-data-mcp MCP server, install through an MCP client's stdio configuration with npx -y social-data-mcp. Set the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable to a token from the Apify account integrations page.

For remote use, add the Apify MCP endpoint containing the desired Actor identifiers to a client that supports remote MCP servers. This route does not require the npm package. Agent Skills can be installed with npx skills add mrocker/social-data-mcp.

Tools and capabilities

The social-data-mcp MCP server supports:

  • X/Twitter profile and tweet retrieval
  • Single-tweet lookup and engagement-based filtering
  • Incremental X/Twitter runs
  • YouTube video and channel metadata
  • YouTube filtering by views, duration, and date
  • TikTok profile and per-video statistics

The repository also points to narrower single-purpose Actors for X profiles, single tweets, YouTube video statistics, TikTok follower counts, and TikTok video statistics.

Limitations and notes

These tools do not provide X keyword search, follower lists, or reply threads. They also do not provide YouTube transcripts or lists of TikTok videos belonging to an account. The README attributes these exclusions to platform access requirements that the tools do not bypass.

The repository code is licensed under MIT, while the underlying Actors are used under Apify's terms. Running requests may incur Apify charges based on the returned rows and the Actor involved.
