socialcrawl-mcp

MCP server for SocialCrawl — access 21+ social media platforms through one unified API.

What it does

SocialCrawl MCP gives AI agents instant access to 21 social media platforms and 105 endpoints through a single, unified API. Retrieve profiles, posts, comments, search results, trending content, and analytics from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Reddit, and more — no per-platform authentication required. Agents discover available endpoints dynamically, so they always work with the latest capabilities without any hardcoded platform logic.
