LurkAPI MCP Server

Remote MCP server with live public data from 16 social platforms: one tool per endpoint for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, X and LinkedIn posts, profiles, comments and transcripts, and Meta, Google, TikTok and LinkedIn ad libraries.

LurkAPI's MCP server gives an agent live public data from 16 platforms instead of what it remembers. It is stateless Streamable HTTP at https://api.lurkapi.com/mcp. Clients sign in with OAuth 2.1 (dynamic client registration, browser sign-in, no key to paste) or send an API key in the x-api-key header. Every endpoint is a tool (89 with the free credit balance tool). ?compact gives two tools instead (find_endpoints and call_endpoint), and ?platforms=a,b limits the list. tools/list is public. Results leave out empty fields and keep one URL per image or video to save tokens; long results come in parts, and later parts are free for 15 minutes. max_credits caps what a call may cost. Errors come back as tool results with retryable, fix and did_you_mean hints. Five prompts cover ad research, a brand snapshot, vetting a creator, subreddit research and a channel's transcripts. Tools are charged like the REST API: most cost 1 credit. New accounts get 100 free credits with no card and a daily top-up to 25; packs start at $9 and credits never expire. It reads public data only and cannot post or message anyone. The same 88 endpoints are a REST API at https://api.lurkapi.com.
