Officialai Takedown

Someone posted a fake of you, or stole your work. This toolkit gets you from "there's the link" to a filed takedown, free:

1. Capture evidence before it disappears: independent archive snapshot, retrieval timestamps, SHA-256 of the exact bytes, and a PDQ perceptual fingerprint of the media.
2. Get the platform's real process: report-form URLs, documented email intakes, required fields, and ID requirements for Meta (Facebook + Instagram), YouTube, TikTok, X, and Google. Every fact is cited to the platform's own pages with a retrieval date; anything we could not verify is marked UNVERIFIED instead of guessed.
3. Draft the correct notice: statutory fields computed by code, with step-by-step filing instructions. You review it and you file it.

The heavy lifting runs on the free Official AI API; this package is a thin client you can read in one sitting.

Install as an MCP server (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients)

npm install -g @officialai/takedown-skill

# Claude Code
claude mcp add officialai-takedown -- officialai-takedown-mcp

For Claude Desktop or other MCP clients, add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "officialai-takedown": {
      "command": "officialai-takedown-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Tools exposed: capture_evidence, get_playbook, draft_notice, check_authorization.

Install as a Claude Agent Skill

Copy SKILL.md into your skills directory (for Claude Code: .claude/skills/takedown/SKILL.md in your project, or ~/.claude/skills/takedown/SKILL.md globally). The skill works best with the MCP server installed; without it, the skill can still call the API over HTTP.

Use the API directly

No signup, rate-limited:

# 1. Capture evidence
curl -s -X POST https://theofficial.ai/api/v1/capture_evidence \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com/the-fake-post"}'

# 2. See a platform's reporting process
curl -s 'https://theofficial.ai/api/v1/playbook?platform=youtube'

# 3. Draft a notice (see /api/v1/playbook for report path ids)
curl -s -X POST https://theofficial.ai/api/v1/draft_notice \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "reportPathId": "youtube.copyright",
    "evidenceManifestId": "<id from step 1>",
    "claimant": {"fullName": "Your Name", "email": "[email protected]",
      "mailingAddress": "...", "country": "United States",
      "relationship": "self"},
    "work": {"description": "My original photo", "originalUrls": ["https://..."]},
    "infringementDescription": "This account reposted my photo without permission."
  }'

What the free tier does not do

Drafts only. Filing on your behalf, stay-down monitoring, weekly briefs, and a public verified page require a verified identity at theofficial.ai: a government-ID check plus proof you control your official accounts. That gate exists on purpose; it is what makes a notice filed through Official AI worth more than a form letter.

Honesty notes

• Every notice is a DRAFT until a human reviews and submits it. Platform notices carry legal liability for misrepresentation.
• Playbook facts are cited to platform primary sources with retrieval dates. Platforms change their processes; if you hit a dead form URL, please open an issue.
• Perceptual fingerprint matches are approximate by design. A match is a lead for a human to confirm, not a verdict.
• This toolkit is not legal advice.

Environment

• OFFICIAL_AI_API_URL: override the API base URL (defaults to https://theofficial.ai).
