Overview
The Social Media MCP for AI Agents is an application interface designed to provide AI agents with real-time access to social media and news. It connects with more than 50 tools across multiple platforms, allowing AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others to fetch and operate with social media data.
