Official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for CreatorCrawl. Gives any MCP-compatible AI agent — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, and more — 60+ tools for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and Reddit.

Profiles, posts, comments, transcripts, ads, search, and trending data as structured JSON.
