Overview

SocialCrawl MCP server connects AI agents to SocialCrawl’s unified API for 21+ social media platforms. It lets agents discover platforms and endpoints, inspect parameters and credit costs, retrieve API documentation, and issue requests for profiles, posts, comments, search results, trending content, and analytics. The server uses dynamic endpoint discovery rather than hardcoded platform logic. Reach for it when an agent needs cross-platform social data through one API and can provide a SocialCrawl API key.

Use cases

  • Retrieve social media profiles across supported platforms
  • Search posts and other platform content
  • Inspect endpoint parameters and credit costs before requests
  • Fetch comments, trending content, and analytics
  • Look up documentation for a platform-specific endpoint

Key features

  • Unified access to 21+ platforms
  • 105 dynamically discoverable endpoints
  • Profile, post, comment, and search requests
  • Platform and endpoint documentation lookup
  • Endpoint parameter and credit-cost discovery
  • Single SocialCrawl API key

How SocialCrawl works

What SocialCrawl MCP server does

SocialCrawl MCP server exposes SocialCrawl’s unified API to MCP-compatible agents. The service covers 21 social and related platforms, with 105 endpoints in total. Supported services include TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Threads, Pinterest, Google, Truth Social, Twitch, Snapchat, Kick, Amazon, Linktree, Linkbio, Linkme, Komi, Pillar, and Utility.

Requests can retrieve profile information, posts, comments, search results, trending content, and analytics, depending on the platform and endpoint selected. The API does not require separate authentication for each platform; the MCP server uses one SocialCrawl API key.

How it works

The SocialCrawl MCP server supports an agent workflow based on endpoint discovery. An agent can first list available platforms, then inspect the endpoints for a chosen platform. The endpoint listing provides required parameters and credit costs, allowing the agent to select and construct an appropriate request. It can also retrieve detailed documentation for a platform or a specific endpoint before calling it.

The request tool accepts a platform, endpoint, and parameters, then forwards the call to SocialCrawl. Endpoint availability is discovered at runtime, so the agent does not need platform-specific endpoint definitions embedded in its instructions or application code.

Setup and configuration

Run the server through npm with npx and provide the SOCIALCRAWL_API_KEY environment variable. Each configuration invokes npx -y socialcrawl-mcp and passes the API key through the server environment.

Obtain the key by registering at SocialCrawl’s website and copying it from the account dashboard. New accounts receive 100 free credits. The service uses credits per request: most endpoints cost 1 credit, advanced endpoints cost 5, and premium endpoints cost 10.

Tools and capabilities

  • socialcrawl_list_platforms returns the supported platforms, their slugs, and endpoint counts.
  • socialcrawl_list_endpoints shows a platform’s endpoints, required parameters, and credit costs.
  • socialcrawl_request makes a SocialCrawl API call for supported data such as profiles, posts, comments, and search results.
  • socialcrawl_get_docs returns detailed documentation for a platform or endpoint.

Limitations and notes

The SocialCrawl MCP server depends on a valid SocialCrawl API key and the credits available to that account. The cost of a request varies by endpoint, so agents should inspect endpoint metadata before making calls when credit usage matters. The available data and operations also depend on the selected platform’s documented endpoints; the server does not present one identical set of operations for every platform.

Frequently Asked Questions about SocialCrawl

SocialCrawl is an MCP server that connects AI agents to SocialCrawl’s unified API for 21+ social platforms. Its main tools list platforms, inspect platform endpoints and credit costs, make API requests for profiles, posts, comments, and searches, and retrieve platform or endpoint documentation.

Install it by configuring your MCP client to run `npx -y socialcrawl-mcp` and pass `SOCIALCRAWL_API_KEY` in the environment. The README provides setup examples for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code with Claude Code.

It requires a SocialCrawl API key in the `SOCIALCRAWL_API_KEY` environment variable. Create an account at SocialCrawl, copy the key from the dashboard, and add it to the MCP configuration.

SocialCrawl supports 21 platforms and 105 endpoints. The available platforms include TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Threads, Pinterest, and others listed by the platform-discovery tool.

Yes, SocialCrawl works with Cursor through a project-level `.cursor/mcp.json` file or a global `~/.cursor/mcp.json` file. Configure it to run the npm package and provide the API key.
