About
Gives Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client 15 tools to create, schedule, and publish social posts to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X, Threads, and LinkedIn. Also handles media import by URL or base64, webhooks, and per-platform analytics from the ViralNote API.
README
A Model Context Protocol server for the ViralNote social media API.
Plug it into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any other MCP-aware host and your agent can schedule posts, manage media, and read analytics across X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Bluesky, Threads, and Reddit — as native MCP tool calls. No glue code.
Install
Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Cursor
Add to your MCP config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, similar on other platforms):
{
"mcpServers": {
"viralnote": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@viralnote/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"VIRALNOTE_API_KEY": "vnd_..."
}
}
}
}
Restart your MCP host. The ViralNote tools will be available immediately.
This repo includes a root .mcp.json (Open Plugins standard) so tools like Cursor Directory can auto-detect the MCP server from the GitHub URL.
Local install
npm install -g @viralnote/mcp-server
Then reference viralnote-mcp directly in your MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"viralnote": {
"command": "viralnote-mcp",
"env": { "VIRALNOTE_API_KEY": "vnd_..." }
}
}
}

For most users, the HTTP MCP server at https://viralnote.app/api/mcp/mcp is simpler than installing this stdio package — see https://viralnote.app/developers/mcp for the HTTP config snippet. Use this stdio package when your MCP client doesn't support HTTP transport.
The underlying REST endpoints and request/response shapes are documented at viralnote.app/developers/docs.
Example agent prompts
"Show me my last 5 scheduled posts." Tool:
list_postswith{ status: "scheduled", limit: 5 }.
"Schedule this caption to Instagram for tomorrow at 9am, attaching the photo I uploaded yesterday." Tools:
list_media→ find item →create_postwith{ platforms: ["instagram"], caption, libraryItemId, scheduledFor, status: "scheduled" }.
"Pull this Dropbox link into my library, then publish it to X immediately." Tools:
import_media→create_post(draft) →publish_post.
Development
git clone https://github.com/viralnote/mcp-server
cd mcp-server
npm install
npm run build
VIRALNOTE_API_KEY=vnd_... npm start
