MCP Integration

Social Intel API ships an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes a search_leads tool. Any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or custom agents — can use it directly.

Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop MCP config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "social-intel": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from", "git+https://github.com/socialinteldev/social-intel-mcp",
        "social-intel-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace 0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY with your Base wallet private key (must have USDC). After saving, restart Claude Desktop. The search_leads tool will appear automatically.

Cursor

Add the same config to Cursor’s MCP settings (Settings > MCP Servers):

{
  "social-intel": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": [
      "--from", "git+https://github.com/socialinteldev/social-intel-mcp",
      "social-intel-mcp"
    ],
    "env": {
      "PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"
    }
  }
}

AgentCash (no wallet setup needed)

The simplest way to use Social Intel API with AI agents. AgentCash handles wallet management and USDC payments:

No private key needed — AgentCash manages its own wallet.

What the MCP tool does

The search_leads tool accepts the same parameters as the REST API:

Parameter	Type	Description
`query`	string	Keyword search (name or bio)
`category`	string	Business category (Fitness, Beauty, etc.)
`country`	string	Country code (US, UK, DE, etc.)
`gender`	string	”male” or “female”
`min_followers`	integer	Minimum follower count
`max_followers`	integer	Maximum follower count
`limit`	integer	Results to return (1-100, default 20)

Example prompt

“Find 20 fitness influencers in the US with at least 10,000 followers”

Claude will automatically call search_leads with category=Fitness, country=US, min_followers=10000, limit=20.
