Over the last week it answered 99.2% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 9

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

socialdl
socialdl_download
Resolve a TikTok / Instagram / YouTube link (or direct .mp4/image URL) to its DIRECT download URLs from the source CDN — every video quality, audio track and image, with quality labels. Use when the user wants to DOWNLOAD/save the media instead of transcribing it. No transcription/vision.
socialdl_extract
Download a social-media link (TikTok, Instagram reel/post/carousel, YouTube, or any direct .mp4) and return it as usable text context: metadata (author, caption, duration), the audio/video transcript, and a vision description (OCR + summary) of each image in a carousel/post. YouTube uses its existing captions when available. Use this to give Claude the content of a video or post the user pasted.
socialdl_metadata
Lightweight lookup: resolve a social-media link to its metadata (author, caption, duration, counts) and media URLs WITHOUT transcribing or running vision. Cheaper than socialdl_extract — use when the caption/context alone is enough.
authenticate
authenticate
MCP.AI for IDE agents (Cursor, etc.): log in in the browser, copy the access token. Best: add it to this server's config as a header `Authorization: Bearer <token>` for a permanent, non-expiring connection. Or paste it here for a session-only login: call with { token: "<jwt>" } after the user pastes, or with no args to get the link.
connect
connect
Returns connection status and URLs. When all providers are connected, returns authenticated:true and empty pending[]. When credentials are missing, returns connect_url for the toolkit and per-install URLs.
marketplace
marketplace
The official mcp.ai marketplace — the in-platform catalog of every MCP/tool, AND the way to run them. Covers capability requests like "find an MCP that does X", "consulta um CPF", "is there a tool for Y". Core flow: action=search discovers MCPs by intent → describe returns one MCP's full profile (every tool with its id + params, pricing, auth) so you pick the right tool_id → invoke RUNS that tool. KEY: invoke works even when the MCP is NOT installed — it runs the tool pontualmente (one-off), without adding the MCP to the toolkit and without bloating the tool list. If the MCP needs a credential/login, invoke returns a connect link; if it is paid and the wallet is empty, invoke returns a checkout/top-up link (the user opens it, then you retry). Use install only to make an MCP PERMANENT in the active toolkit (its tools then show up natively in future sessions); prefer invoke for a single/occasional use. list_tools lists what is callable right now. subscribe/cancel handle per-MCP billing; report_bug sends feedback; request_mcp asks us to build a NEW MCP when nothing fits. Search/describe flag installed_in_toolkit vs installed_in_workspace. Writes (install/uninstall/subscribe/cancel and the one-off install behind invoke) require workspace owner/admin. It also carries the mcp.ai PROMPT LIBRARY, which is about ready-made prompt TEXT rather than MCPs: search_prompts finds one, get_prompt returns its full text with {{variables}} filled, and publish_prompt saves a prompt and returns a shareable mcp.ai/p/<slug> link that opens without login.
report
report_bug
Report a bug, missing feature, or send feedback. Include the conversation array with recent messages for reproduction.
show
show_version
Show the current MCP platform and adapter versions.
toolkit
toolkit_info
Returns the current toolkit state: installed MCPs, their connection status, the accounts connected to each one, and how many catalog tools each exposes.

Social → Context — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Social → Context do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: authenticate, connect, marketplace, report_bug, show_version, socialdl_download and 3 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Social → Context working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 90 of 91 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 1183 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Social → Context?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Social → Context need an API key?
No. Social → Context completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Social → Context?
It answers our handshake in 1183 ms on average, which is faster than 5% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Social → Context open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
