MCP server
Run `npx socialcrawl-mcp` to give Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client 5 curated tools over stdio. Published on npm and the MCP Registry, so paste your key once and every tool spends from the same credits.
npx socialcrawl-mcpNew: the socialcrawl MCP server is live on npm and the MCP Registry, v1.2.0
Social media API integrations, all on one key
Wire SocialCrawl into the tools you already build with. The socialcrawl Agent Skill, the socialcrawl-mcp server, and soon the n8n node and Apify actor all call one unified social media API, on one x-api-key and one credit balance across 43 platforms. These are social media apis for developers who would rather paste a key than manage forty.
How do I connect SocialCrawl to Claude, Cursor, or an MCP client?
Two ways ship today, three are on the way. Install the socialcrawl Agent Skill or run the socialcrawl-mcp server, paste your key, and your assistant queries 43 platforms through one unified social media API. Think of it as an api integration platform where every surface, Skill, MCP, and REST, shares the same key. The n8n api integration and the Apify actor land next.
Agent SkillsLive
Agent Skills
The socialcrawl skill on skills.sh and ClawHub gives 40+ AI agents a direct line to the API. It is a structured skill, not a wall of prose, so an agent calls the right endpoint on the first try.
npx skills add socialcrawl/skillsWorkflowComing soon
n8n community node
n8n is where your workflow already lives, so we show up in the node list. The n8n-nodes-socialcrawl community node exposes 221 operations across 39 resources, a fast on-ramp for lightweight automations rather than a rebuild of your orchestration.
MarketplaceComing soon
Apify actor
The socialcrawl-apify actor brings the same unified schema to Apify runs and schedules. One vendor and one key, instead of stitching together community actors of varying quality.
ProtocolComing soon
Streamable MCP
A hosted, remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP, the transport the Model Context Protocol spec now lists as standard for remote clients as stdio and SSE are phased out. Same tools as the stdio server, with no local process to run.
Does the SocialCrawl API work with the Vercel AI SDK, LangChain, or the Anthropic SDK?
Yes. The API is plain REST behind an x-api-key header, so it drops into any LLM SDK as a tool or function call. These are social media apis for developers who would rather add one tool than learn a new client.
Vercel AI SDK
Register the API as a tool in the Vercel AI SDK and your model queries 43 platforms mid-conversation. Same key, same credit balance.
LangChain
Wrap any endpoint as a LangChain tool. The unified schema means one output parser to write instead of one per platform.
Anthropic SDK
Expose the API to Claude as a tool call over plain REST, or point Claude Code at the MCP server. Either path spends from one key.
RapidAPI
Plain REST and a single header mean the API fits marketplace tooling like RapidAPI, so you can meter and manage it next to the rest of your keys.
What makes SocialCrawl integrations agent-ready?
Every surface returns the same unified social media api response, computed fields included, so an agent can reason over the data instead of parsing it. One key covers 332 endpoints, and agent skills, MCP, and REST all draw from the same credit balance.
One key, one credit balance
Skill, MCP, and REST all authenticate with the same x-api-key and spend from the same credits. No per-platform app approvals, no secret sprawl across your agents, one api integration platform instead of forty.
Computed fields, not raw dumps
Engagement rates, normalized author objects, and cross-platform IDs arrive pre-computed, so your agent acts on the answer instead of recomputing it.
Built for agents to call
The socialcrawl agent skills are structured for tool-calling, so an assistant picks the right endpoint on the first try instead of guessing from a wall of prose.
SocialCrawl vs building it yourself
Why use one unified API instead of building 40+ separate integrations?
Because one all in one social media api replaces 43 developer-app approvals, 43 auth flows, and 43 response shapes. Here is what you skip by pasting one key instead of wiring forty.
| Aspect | SocialCrawl integrations | Building it yourself |
|---|---|---|
| Auth & billing | One x-api-key and one credit balance across Skill, MCP, and soon n8n and Apify | A separate app approval, auth flow, and rate limit for every platform |
| Time to first call | Paste a key, then run `npx socialcrawl-mcp` or install the skill | Register per-platform developer apps and wait on review queues |
| Response shape | One unified JSON shape across 43 platforms | Normalize a different response shape for every platform yourself |
| Where it runs | Agent Skills, MCP (stdio today, streamable soon), and plain REST for any SDK | Custom glue code rewritten for each client and runtime |

FAQ
What do developers ask about SocialCrawl integrations?
Short answers on connecting, pricing, and the roadmap. For anything deeper, the docs cover each integration end to end.
Read the integration docsWhere is the code, and how do I install the MCP server?
Run `npx socialcrawl-mcp` to start the stdio server, and install the socialcrawl skill from skills.sh or ClawHub. Both surfaces ship as public repos, so if you are hunting for a social media api integration github reference, each one carries its own repo and README.
Is this one of the best MCP servers for social data?
It is the only MCP server we know of that returns one unified schema across 43 social platforms on a single credit balance. Most best mcp servers roundups cover open-web search tools, so treat this one as the social-native complement rather than a swap.
When does the n8n api integration ship?
The n8n-nodes-socialcrawl community node is built (221 operations, 39 resources) and pending publication to the n8n community node index. Until it lands you can call the same REST API from an n8n HTTP Request node. We are not promising a date.
Is there a free API for developers to try first?
Every account starts with free credits, so it works as a social media api free tier for testing. See your data in the Explorer before writing a single line, then wire the Skill, MCP, or REST once the shape looks right. It is a genuine free api for developers, not a time-boxed trial.
What makes this an all in one social media api?
One key reaches 43 platforms through 332 endpoints, and every surface, Skill, MCP, n8n, and Apify, draws from the same credits. That is the all in one part: one account, one schema, one bill, an api integration platform without the platform to configure.
Do I need a separate API key for each integration?
No. The Skill, the MCP server, and the REST API all authenticate with the same x-api-key. One scoped key instead of a fresh secret for every agent you run.
