Summary
Gives Claude direct access to 21 social platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Reddit through a single unified API. Instead of managing credentials for each platform separately, you get one API key that works across 105 endpoints for profiles, posts, comments, search, and trending content. The server dynamically discovers available endpoints so Claude can explore what's possible on each platform before making requests. You'd reach for this when building social media analytics, content research tools, or anything that needs to pull data from multiple platforms without dealing with per-platform authentication. Runs via npx with just an API key from socialcrawl.com, which includes 100 free credits to start.
