SocialCrawl 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.

Primary Use Cases for SocialCrawl:
  • 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
