Tool	What it does
get_sample_creator	Use this when a user wants to see what Influship can return before linking an account. Fetches one configured sample creator with social profile context. This is a preview tool and should not be used for search, discovery, matching, or comparison requests. After showing the preview, explain only th
search_creators	Find a creator by name/handle, while preserving legacy semantic creator search. Use this as the default creator lookup tool when the user gives a creator-ish string but not a canonical creator UUID: a handle, partial handle, display name, creator name, or profile-ish text. This is cheap, fast, and
semantic_search_creators	Semantic discovery search for influencers/content creators using natural-language queries. Use this only when the user asks to discover creators by topic, audience, geography, niche, content style, or campaign criteria (e.g., "fitness creators in NYC", "vegan recipe creators with high engagement",
autocomplete_creators	Autocomplete creator names, usernames, or display names from partial input. Use this for fast lookup when the user types a partial handle or name and you need to resolve it to canonical creator IDs (e.g., "find @cris" or "who's that fitness coach called Jane?"). Cheap and fast — prefer over `search
find_lookalike_creators	Find creators SIMILAR to one or more seed creators. Use this when the user already knows a creator they like and wants more like them (e.g., "find creators like @therock", "find more creators like these three I just booked"). Seeds are blended via creator-profile + visual-style + fact embeddings to
match_creators	Score how well specific creators fit a campaign brief or search intent. Use this when the user already has candidate creators in mind and wants to evaluate fit (e.g., "rate these 5 creators for a vegan cookbook launch", "which of these is the best match for my crypto audience?"). For each creator t
get_creator	Fetch the full record for a single creator by ID or exact platform username. Use this when you already have either: - a canonical creator UUID returned by `search_creators`, `semantic_search_creators`, `autocomplete_creators`, or `find_lookalike_creators`; or - an exact platform+username pair s
get_profile	Fetch a single social profile by (platform, username). Always use this first when the user gives an exact handle on a specific platform (for example "@niickjackson on Instagram") and you need the full profile: bio, follower/engagement metrics, recent activity, growth, and the canonical creator ID.
lookup_profiles	Batch-fetch up to 100 profiles by (platform, username) pairs. Use this when the user has a list of handles and you need profile data for all of them at once (e.g., "give me follower counts for these 30 accounts I'm considering" or "which of @a @b @c are real accounts?"). One round-trip beats 30 cal
get_posts	Fetch a creator's posts, sorted and paginated. Use this when the user asks to see what a creator has posted (e.g., "show me Jane's last 20 posts", "what are this creator's top-engagement reels?", "pull recent posts from creator-id ABC"). Identify the creator by either `creator_id` (UUID) OR (`platf
get_instagram_profile	Retrieve a live Instagram profile by exact public username, including biography, follower and following counts, verification, and collection time. Optionally include 1–50 recent posts with captions, public links, likes, comments, video views, and publish times. Unavailable view counts are null. Enga
get_instagram_post	Fetch raw Instagram post-page data by shortcode. Use this when the user needs fresh raw Instagram post metadata that is not guaranteed on regular cached post-list endpoints yet, including coauthors, tagged users, paid partnership metadata, product mentions, music attribution, location, display reso
get_instagram_posts	Fetch raw Instagram post-page data for a bounded list of shortcodes through the raw API. Transient upstream recovery is handled automatically within the request deadline. Returns one item per requested shortcode with per-item success or error details.
get_instagram_post_transcript	Transcribe an Instagram video post by shortcode through the raw API. The response includes raw post metadata on a transcript cache miss. A cache hit omits the post field; use `get_instagram_post` when you need post metadata with a cached transcript.
get_instagram_post_transcripts	Transcribe a bounded list of Instagram video posts by shortcode through the raw API. Each successful item includes transcript data. The nested post field is present on cache misses and omitted on cache hits; use `get_instagram_posts` when you also need post metadata for every shortcode.
get_tiktok_profile	Fetch a current, normalized TikTok profile by username. Returns identity, biography, verification, and audience metrics. A leading @ is accepted and usernames are normalized. This is a metered live-data request.
list_tiktok_profile_videos	Fetch one cursor-paginated page of current TikTok videos for a username. Use the returned cursor to paginate and choose latest or popular ordering. Media URLs are temporary. Content always resolves against the US region. Each successful page, including an empty page, costs 0.2 account credits. A pr
get_tiktok_videos	Fetch 1–20 TikTok video URLs in input order, with per-item success or error results. Duplicate entries remain distinct. Each successful entry costs 0.2 account credits.
get_tiktok_video_transcripts	Fetch transcripts for 1–10 TikTok URLs in input order, with per-item results. Auto mode costs 2.5 account credits per successful entry. Captions mode never generates transcripts and costs 0.2 per successful entry. Duplicate entries remain distinct.
get_tiktok_music	Fetch sound clip metadata by music_id. Unknown fields are null. Audio and cover URLs are temporary, not durable downloads. This is a metered request.
search_tiktok_users	Fetch one page of TikTok user search results. Unknown profile fields are null. Continue with next_cursor and the same query; cursors are opaque. Each successful page, including an empty page, costs 0.2 account credits.
search_tiktok_videos	Fetch one relevance-ordered page of TikTok videos. Continue with next_cursor and the same query. Duplicate results are preserved. Media links are temporary. Each successful page, including an empty page, costs 0.2 account credits.
get_tiktok_video_captions	Fetch available captions without generating a transcript. Missing captions return an error. Successful requests, including cached captions, cost 0.2 credits.
list_tiktok_hashtag_videos	Fetch one page of videos under a hashtag, supplied without #. Continue with next_cursor and the same hashtag. Duplicate results are preserved. Media links are temporary. Each successful page, including an empty page, costs 0.2 account credits.
list_tiktok_music_videos	Fetch one page of videos using a sound clip music_id. Continue with next_cursor and the same music_id; cursors are opaque. Duplicate results are preserved. Media links are temporary. Each successful page, including an empty page, costs 0.2 account credits.
get_tiktok_video	Fetch normalized details and current engagement metrics for a TikTok video URL. Canonical video URLs and TikTok share URLs are accepted. Returned media URLs are temporary. Content always resolves against the US region. Each successful request costs 0.2 account credits.

list_tiktok_comment_replies	Fetch one page of replies to a numeric parent comment ID. Keep the video URL and parent ID unchanged when passing the returned cursor. Each successful page costs 0.2 credits.
get_tiktok_video_transcript	Fetch or generate a normalized TikTok video transcript. Returns plain text and timestamped segments. A previously collected transcript can be reused. Each successful request costs 2.5 account credits, including a reused result, and may take longer when transcription must be generated.
get_youtube_channel	Fetch a current YouTube channel by handle, channel ID, or URL. Optionally includes recent videos. This is a metered live-data request.
get_youtube_video_transcript	Fetch a normalized transcript for a YouTube video ID. Returns plain text, timestamped segments, and available caption languages. This is a metered request and may take longer when captions must be resolved.
get_youtube_channel_transcripts	Fetch transcripts for a selected batch of videos from a YouTube channel. Choose the video count, ordering, language, and whether timestamped segments are included. This is a metered batch request.
search_youtube	Search current YouTube results with discovery filters and cursor pagination. Filter by upload window, popularity, result type, duration, country, and language. Pass next_cursor back as cursor for the next page. Each page is one metered request.
get_youtube_video	Fetch fresh metadata and engagement for a YouTube video ID. Returns exact publication data when available, plus views, likes, comments, duration, tags, categories, and channel identity. This is a metered live-data request.
get_youtube_typeahead	Fetch current localized YouTube query suggestions for a partial phrase. Useful for expanding topic seeds before search. This is a metered live-data request.
render_creator_shortlist	Use this when discovery or lookup tools have returned results and the user would benefit from scanning 1–8 creator cards. Pass search_id after semantic_search_creators so the exact ranking, confidence, and evidence are preserved. Pass creator_ids only for name/handle lookup results. Always call an I
render_creator_profile	Use this when the user wants a visual deep dive on one canonical creator ID. It fetches the current creator record plus up to six recent posts and may consume Influship account or API usage.
render_creator_comparison	Use this when the user has 2–4 canonical creator IDs and a specific campaign brief. It fetches current creator details, scores each creator against the brief, and renders a side-by-side comparison. This may consume Influship account or API usage.
get_more_tools	Check for additional tools whenever your task might benefit from specialized capabilities - even if existing tools could work as a fallback.
send_feedback	Send feedback about this server to its developers. Most important: report a missing capability whenever no available tool fits your task, even if you can work around it (feedback_type "missing_capability"). Also welcome: a tool that failed or confused you, an unhelpful error, or something that worke

Influship MCP

AI-native creator discovery for influencer marketing workflows. Influship gives ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible agents typed tools for creator search, lookalikes, profile lookup, post lookup, and Instagram post transcript analysis.

What Agents Can Do

Search for creators by audience, niche, location, platform, and campaign-fit criteria.
Find creator lookalikes from known winners or competitor talent lists.
Resolve creator profiles and social handles across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube-oriented workflows.
Pull creator records, posts, and Instagram transcript data into briefs, prospecting lists, market maps, and outreach research.

Remote Server

Use the hosted Streamable HTTP server when your MCP client supports remote MCP:

claude mcp add influship --transport http https://mcp.influship.com/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"

NPX / Stdio

Use the npm package for clients that only support stdio:

INFLUSHIP_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY npx -y @influship/mcp

The package is a small stdio bridge to the hosted Influship MCP server. It keeps the data, auth, billing, and rate limits on the same production API surface as the remote server.

For local development or staging:

INFLUSHIP_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY INFLUSHIP_MCP_URL=http://localhost:8080/mcp npx -y @influship/mcp

Publishing

The official MCP Registry metadata lives in server.json and advertises both the hosted Streamable HTTP server and the npm stdio package.

pnpm install
pnpm test
pnpm build
npm publish --access public

After npm publish, submit server.json with the official MCP Registry publisher and use this repository URL for directory submissions.
