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

socialcrawl
socialcrawl_check_balance
Check the credit balance and the credit ledger for the authenticated SocialCrawl account. Default view calls GET /v1/credits/balance (balance + recent-deduction summary); `view: "transactions"` calls GET /v1/credits/transactions for dispute-grade itemised receipts — every deduction and refund with its amount, balance_after, endpoint, and request_id, which is how you confirm what a metered endpoint actually charged after its upfront hold was refunded down. Both cost 0 credits. Requires a valid SOCIALCRAWL_API_KEY.
socialcrawl_cohorts
Answer 'which of THESE specific public identities is talking about my keywords?' — the opposite of open social listening. You upload a panel of up to 10,000 platform-qualified public handles (instagram, tiktok, youtube, twitter, threads, bluesky, truth-social, kwai, twitch, linkedin), submit a keyword query bounded to a recent window, and read back the matching posts per member PLUS a coverage record for every member, including the ones that matched nothing — so a partial crawl can never read as 'nobody talked about you'. Actions: create, add_members (1,000 per call, upsert on external_id so a nightly re-push is safe), estimate_cost (local, no API call — sizes the reservation before you commit), query (async, returns 202), query_status, query_results (paged, carries `items` + `coverage`), query_cancel, get, delete. Matching is deterministic: literal, whole-word, Unicode-normalized — no stemming, fuzzy matching, or alias inference. Every lifecycle call costs 0 credits; only the query is metered — it reserves a worst-case ceiling at submission and refunds down to the pages that actually succeeded. SocialCrawl only ever receives platform + handle + your opaque external_id, encrypted at rest. Requires a valid SOCIALCRAWL_API_KEY.
socialcrawl_discover
The API describing itself, live, at 0 credits — the `/v1/utility/*` family. 'quickstart': everything needed for a first successful call (auth, base URL, response envelope, billing model, the full error taxonomy, rate limits, paging). 'catalog': every endpoint with its live metered-aware price, params, and paging flag — filter by platform/search/method. 'endpoint': one endpoint's complete usage guide — every parameter with type and example, the exact pricing rule, cache TTL, paging recipe, an example response, a copy-paste curl, and related endpoints. 'llms': the agent context corpus for the whole API or one platform. 'freshness': compare the live registry against this server's bundled catalogue to check whether this MCP version has fallen behind the API. 'status': every platform's live circuit-breaker state from the public `GET /v1/status` meta route — read it before retrying a persistent 502/503, since a degraded platform is the breaker holding traffic off a failing upstream. These answer from the live registry at request time, so unlike bundled data they can never drift from what is actually callable — use them when correctness matters more than latency, or when an endpoint looks unknown. Without an API key everything except 'llms' still answers from bundled data ('status' needs no key at all).
socialcrawl_get_docs
Retrieve SocialCrawl API documentation. Topics: 'overview' (compact intro), 'full' (comprehensive reference for all 575 endpoints), 'authentication', 'credits', 'pricing' (per-endpoint cost for every endpoint), 'errors', 'idempotency', 'pagination' (universal cursor contract), 'caching' (TTLs and free hits), 'hydration' (the opt-in `include=` row joins, what each fills and what it costs), 'response-schema' (the canonical envelope and unified objects), 'limits' (rate, concurrency, timeouts), 'monitors' (scheduled-recipe wrapper), 'cohorts' (audience-filtered mention search over a panel you supply), 'discovery' (the free self-describing utility endpoints), or any platform slug (e.g., 'tiktok', or 'web' for the web-scraping/browser-automation surface). No API key required.
socialcrawl_list_endpoints
List endpoints with their full parameter contract — required + optional params, types, integer ranges, enum values, parameter couplings, CSV limits, pagination style, cache TTL, and per-endpoint pricing (including metered bands). Pass a `platform` for that platform's reference, or a `search` term to find an endpoint across all 65 platforms / 575 endpoints. Filter with `method`, `maxCost`, and `hydrating` (endpoints that can fill their own rows in one call via `include=`). No API key required.
socialcrawl_list_platforms
List all 65 platforms available through SocialCrawl (575 endpoints — social media, commerce, marketplaces & product reviews, retail (Amazon, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, eBay, Klarna, AliExpress, Etsy, Sephora, H&M, Kohl's, Wayfair, Gumtree, Google Shopping), app stores, places, travel & local (Tripadvisor, Yelp, Google Business), business & software reputation (Trustpilot, G2), jobs & salaries, markets & finance, US congressional trading, news, web research and full scraping/browser automation, on-page SEO audits, prediction markets, search trends, Korean search (Naver), content analysis, and cross-platform Prism composites). Grouped by category, with each platform's endpoint count, credit range, and available data. No API key required.
socialcrawl_monitors
Create and manage stateful monitors that re-run any SocialCrawl recipe (a registry endpoint or a Prism composite) on a cadence (hourly/daily/weekly/cron), deliver each result to a signed webhook, raise alerts on metric thresholds/changes, and accumulate a per-run time-series. 'Prism answers once; monitors watch it for you.' Actions: create, list, get, runs, timeseries, pause, resume, delete. Managing monitors costs 0 credits; each scheduled run bills the underlying recipe's normal cost plus a 1-credit scheduling premium. Requires a valid SOCIALCRAWL_API_KEY.
socialcrawl_pricing
Exact credit pricing for every one of the 575 SocialCrawl endpoints. 'overview' returns the tier ladder (329 standard / 211 advanced / 35 premium), every free endpoint, every flat override, all 71 metered endpoints with their min-max band and exact charging rule, cache TTLs, and the full refund matrix. 'endpoint' gives one endpoint's price, metered rule, price-driving parameters, paging cost, and worst case. 'platform' gives a platform's whole cost table. 'list' ranks and filters endpoints by cost (maxCost/minCost/model/search/sort) — e.g. "everything I can call for 1 credit" or "the most expensive endpoints". 'hydration' catalogues every opt-in `include=` row join — what each fills, its per-row rate, its row cap, and what a fully-joined page holds. On 'endpoint', pass the `include` (and `rows`) you intend to send and the band becomes the exact upfront hold, itemised per join. Use this before spending credits. No API key required.
socialcrawl_request
Make an API request to any of the 575 SocialCrawl endpoints. Fetches real-time data (profiles, posts, comments, transcripts, search results, products, offers and price history, reviews, apps, places and stores, jobs and salary ranges, news, market quotes and financial statements, congressional trade disclosures, SEO audits, trends, analytics, and cross-platform Prism composites) from 65 platforms. Most endpoints are GET (pass query params in `params`); batch endpoints (e.g. youtube/videos, prism/profiles) are POST — pass the array/object body in `body`. For web scraping/crawling/browser automation use the `socialcrawl_web` tool instead. Requires a valid SOCIALCRAWL_API_KEY. Validates the platform, resource, required params, oneOf groups, enum values, integer ranges, parameter couplings, and CSV limits locally first, so a malformed call fails free instead of burning credits. Reports the endpoint's price (and metered rule) with every response, and on an endpoint that supports row joins it either quotes the exact hold for the `include=` you sent or tells you the join is available and what it costs. Pass an optional idempotencyKey to make the request retry-safe (replays return the original response and deduct 0 credits).
socialcrawl_web
Full web scraping, search, and browser automation (Firecrawl-backed). Sync reads: 'scrape' (URL → markdown/HTML/screenshot/links), 'search' (web search with page content), 'map' (discover a site's URLs), 'extract' (LLM structured data from a page). Async jobs (submit, then poll with job_get/job_list, stop with job_cancel): 'crawl' a whole site, 'batch_scrape' many URLs, 'agent' (autonomous multi-step web task). Change detection: monitor_create/list/get/update/delete/checks (re-check a URL on a cadence → webhook). Interactive browser: session_create/get/list, session_execute (run code in the live page), session_close. Pricing varies by action (scrape 1cr, search 2cr, extract/session_create 5cr, agent 25cr; jobs/monitors/sessions management 0cr) — see the 'web' get_docs topic. Requires a valid SOCIALCRAWL_API_KEY.

SocialCrawl — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can SocialCrawl do?
It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: socialcrawl_check_balance, socialcrawl_cohorts, socialcrawl_discover, socialcrawl_get_docs, socialcrawl_list_endpoints, socialcrawl_list_platforms and 4 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 SocialCrawl working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 197 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect SocialCrawl?
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 SocialCrawl need an API key?
No. SocialCrawl completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is SocialCrawl?
It answers our handshake in 197 ms on average, which is faster than 67% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use SocialCrawl?
The npm package socialcrawl-mcp was installed 607 times in the last week. Week over week that is -18%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is SocialCrawl open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript 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.
