# WeChat Channels MCP Server

SocialToAI is a hosted MCP server that lets your AI read WeChat Channels: search videos and read video details, comments, account profiles and an account's videos. You add one address to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor; there is no WeChat Channels account, login or cookie to provide and nothing to install. Each call costs 12 credits (from $0.024); failed calls are free. Last tested 2026-11-05.

## A recorded conversation

> What do pour-over coffee videos on WeChat Channels teach?

| Platform | Tool | Sent | Requests | Returned | Credits |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| WeChat Channels | [`search`](https://socialtoai.com/wechat-channels-search-api.md) | `query: "手冲咖啡"` | 1 | 10 videos | 12 |
| **Total** |  |  | 1 | 10 items | **12** |

Recorded 2026-11-05

I read the top 10 WeChat Channels videos for pour-over coffee. Channels videos have no web address, so these results carry no link to open:

1. **Most are for complete beginners** (70%, 7 videos): “新手零失误手冲法”
2. **Teachers lead with how experienced they are** (30%, 3 videos): “手冲冠军亲自教”
3. **One goes deeper, on a single technique** (10%, 1 video): “手冲咖啡的反向浸泡”

Used 12 credits · $0.04. Figures from this run.

## Questions to ask

- Which is bigger on WeChat Channels this week: home coffee or matcha? → search, search: 24 credits ($0.08)
- Read the comments on this WeChat Channels video and tell me what people complain about. → detail, comments × 3: 48 credits ($0.16)
- Find five WeChat Channels accounts that post about camping coffee and show me what they posted lately. → search, user_posts × 5: 96 credits ($0.32)

## What it cannot do

- **No trending on WeChat Channels**: This action is not offered on WeChat Channels. A call answers that the action is not supported and costs nothing. `trending`
- **Fields WeChat Channels does not give**: They come back as null and are listed in the answer's unavailable, so your AI reads them as “not given”, not as zero. `url`, `title`, `author.id`, `author.username`, `author.verified`, `author.followers`, `metrics.comments`, `metrics.shares`, `metrics.views`, `metrics.reposts`, `images`, `hashtags`, `is_pinned`, `reply_count`, `username`, `verified`, `followers`, `following`
- **It reads. It does not post.**: Your AI cannot post, comment, like, follow or send messages on WeChat Channels through SocialToAI.
- **Only what is publicly visible**: Content and account information anyone can see on WeChat Channels. Nothing behind a login: no private accounts, no direct messages, no feed of your own.

## FAQ

**Does WeChat Channels have an official API? Is this server official?**

No: WeChat's developer documentation describes no API for reading public Channels posts. This MCP server is run by SocialToAI; it is not the platform's own and is not affiliated with it. Source: developers.weixin.qq.com, checked 2026-10-17.

**Can Claude and ChatGPT use it?**

Yes. In Claude or ChatGPT, on the web or the desktop app, paste the address above as a custom connector, sign in with a code sent to your email and press Allow. Claude Code and Codex take one command and Cursor a short config, then the same sign-in; a tool that only takes headers uses a key.

**Do I need a WeChat Channels account?**

No. No account of yours needed, your accounts stay out of it: no WeChat Channels login, no cookie, nothing to install. It reads what is publicly visible on WeChat Channels, and it cannot post.

**How much does it cost?**

From 12 credits a call, about $0.04 at the first pack. A failed call costs nothing, and each call states what it charged. 100 free credits on sign-up, no card.
