Connect Claude Code to TikTok, Reddit and Xiaohongshu data
Claude Code can read publicly visible posts, comments and profiles on 18 platforms, including TikTok, Reddit and Xiaohongshu through SocialToAI's hosted MCP server: run one command, sign in with a code we email you and press Allow; there is no key to copy. Calls cost from 1 credit (≈ $0.002–$0.0033); failed calls are free.
Set up Claude Code
Claude Code connects by signing in: you run one command with the MCP address, sign in to SocialToAI and allow the connection. Nothing to install and no key to copy.
- Run the command in your terminal.
- Start Claude Code, type /mcp, pick socialtoai and choose Authenticate.
- Your browser opens: sign in to SocialToAI with the code we email you and press Allow. Then ask.
claude mcp add --transport http socialtoai https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcpCheck that it works
Ask Claude Code: “Which SocialToAI tools can you use?” It lists 18 tools; finding and listing them is free. Then ask in plain words: you do not name tools or parameters, the client picks them.
What to ask
A first question on each platform, and the call it makes. The credits are per call; your AI may make a few calls for one answer.

|---|---|---|---|
| TikTok | Search TikTok for videos about "space station". | tiktok.search | 2 |
| Search Reddit for posts about "saturn rings". | reddit.search | 2 | |

What it costs
Calls cost from 1 credit (≈ $0.002–$0.0033), and every answer states what it charged and the balance left. Failed calls are free; a search that runs and finds nothing is charged as a call. 100 free credits on sign-up, no card; credits never expire and there is no subscription. See pricing.
The connection is listed in the console under API keys, named Claude Code. Give it a daily cap there, or revoke it at any time.
Questions
Do I need accounts on the platforms?
No. SocialToAI reads what is publicly visible on each platform; you never sign in to them or give a cookie.
Where is my key?
There is none to handle: Claude Code holds a sign-in that SocialToAI gave it, and you can revoke it in the console. Never paste a key into a chat.
Which platforms can it read?
18 platforms: all platforms and what each call costs.
