Connect Codex to TikTok, Reddit and Xiaohongshu data
Codex 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 Codex
Codex 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.
- Your browser opens: sign in to SocialToAI with the code we email you and press Allow.
- Start Codex and ask.
codex mcp add socialtoai --url https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcpCheck that it works
Ask Codex: “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.
| Platform | Ask | Price key | Credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| TikTok | Search TikTok for videos about "space station". | tiktok.search | 2 |
| Search Reddit for posts about "saturn rings". | reddit.search | 2 | |
| X (Twitter) | Search X for posts about "weather forecast". | x.search | 2 |
| YouTube | Search YouTube for videos about "meteor shower". | youtube.search | 2 |
| Xiaohongshu (RedNote) | Search Xiaohongshu for notes about "咖啡". | xiaohongshu.search | 12 |
| Douyin | Search Douyin for videos about "露营". | douyin.search | 12 |

| Search LinkedIn for posts about "ai agents". | linkedin.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 Codex. 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: Codex 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.
