# How to let AI read WeChat Official Account articles

WeChat's Official Account APIs manage your own account only; none reads other accounts' articles. SocialToAI reads publicly visible WeChat Official Account articles for your AI: add one MCP address to your client, or call it with one key over HTTP. From 12 credits a call, and failed calls are free.

## What WeChat's own APIs do

WeChat Official Account APIs let an account manage its own content: materials, drafts, publishing, comments and analytics. The documentation lists no interface for reading other accounts' articles.

## In your AI client

Add one MCP server to your AI client: `https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcp`. Clients that sign in (Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) open a sign-in page: sign in with the code we email you and press Allow, no key to copy. Others send a key in a header. Each client's own steps are on [the MCP page](https://socialtoai.com/mcp.md).
