Connect Trae to TikTok, Reddit and Xiaohongshu data

Trae can read publicly visible posts, comments and profiles on 18 platforms, including TikTok, Reddit and Xiaohongshu through SocialToAI's hosted MCP server: add one address and an API key that Trae sends in a header. Calls cost from 1 credit (≈ $0.002–$0.0033); failed calls are free.

Set up Trae

Trae sends a SocialToAI API key in a header. The key stays where the steps below put it, never in an address or a chat.

• Create a key in the console.
• In Trae, open the MCP panel, choose to add a server manually and paste the configuration.
• Replace <YOUR_API_KEY> with your key, confirm, and ask in the chat.

{  "mcpServers": {    "socialtoai": {      "url": "https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcp",      "headers": {        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>"      }    }  }}

Check that it works

Ask Trae: “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.

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.

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 does the key go?

Where the steps above say (MCP → Add → Configure manually). Create it in the console; it is shown once. It never goes into an address.

Which platforms can it read?

18 platforms: all platforms and what each call costs.
