Social media data MCP
YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, read by your agent.
Your agent can search YouTube and read a video's views, comments and full transcript, pull an Instagram or TikTok profile with its recent posts, search Reddit discussions about a brand, and read a Facebook page with its reviews – enough to see what an audience watches, says and asks for, without a scraper of your own.
Questions your agent can answer
- What are the top YouTube videos for “budget travel japan”, and what do their comments ask for?
- What has @duolingo posted on TikTok recently, and how many followers does it have?
- What are people saying about notion on Reddit this month?
The tools it calls
Every row is a tool in the catalogue, with the provider's description and a link to its public reference. Your agent finds them with prowl_search_tools and calls them with prowl_call_tool; each call is billed on its own.
| Tool | Provider | What it returns |
|---|---|---|
youtube_search | SearchAPI.io | YouTube Search — search videos by query. Returns titles, channels, views, and publish dates. |
youtube_video | SearchAPI.io | YouTube Video — detailed video metadata (title, description, likes, views, channel). |
youtube_comments | SearchAPI.io | YouTube Comments — video comments. Paginate via next_page_token from a previous response. |

Two ways to ask
Your agent. Add Prowl to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any MCP client with one config block (the getting-started walkthrough has it), then ask in plain language. Under the hood the agent calls, for example, prowl_call_tool with tool_name: "youtube_search".
Prowl Agent. Sign in at prowl.chat and ask the built-in agent the same question. It runs on the same tools and bills the same wallet.
When one call is not enough, ask for a report: Prowl plans the calls, checks numeric claims against independent tools and says what it could not confirm.
What it does not cover
Public data only: Prowl reads what a logged-out visitor can see, and posts nothing. It does not schedule posts, read your own accounts' analytics or reach private profiles. Engagement figures are the platform's public counters at the time of the call.
Frequently asked questions
Can Prowl post to my social accounts?
No. It reads public profiles, posts, comments and transcripts. It writes nothing anywhere.
Is there a Reddit MCP in Prowl?
Reddit discussions are searchable through the reddit_search tool, and Reddit engagement for a list of URLs through dataforseo_biz_social_reddit.
Can my agent read a YouTube transcript?
Yes. The youtube_transcripts tool returns the captions of a public video by its id.
