# China social data MCP for Claude and Cursor: Xiaohongshu, Douyin, WeChat (2026)

Yes. DataXAPI's MCP server has 230 endpoints on one key for public data from Xiaohongshu, Douyin, WeChat Official Accounts and Channels, Bilibili, Kuaishou, Weibo and Zhihu, asked in a sentence in Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT, with no platform account or cookie of yours. The free trial covers up to 333 calls; a failed call is not charged.

Updated 2026-11-06

## How do I connect it to Claude or Cursor?

To connect: paste this to your AI assistant: “Read https://dataxapi.com/agents.md and set up DataXAPI here. My API key is dx_…; use it for every DataXAPI call.” A client that takes a remote MCP server can be given `https://api.dataxapi.com/mcp` with the header `Authorization: Bearer <key>` instead.

Once connected it has 5 tools: `find` names the endpoint for a need and `describe` gives its parameters and price, both free; `call` fetches a page of data and is charged per call; `read_more` reads what was cut and `account` shows the balance, also free.

## What can I ask once it is connected?

Say what you want and the AI picks the endpoints. A few common asks:

| You say | What it calls |
| --- | --- |
| Recent Xiaohongshu notes on 露营装备, most liked first, 20 of them | `xiaohongshu.notes.search` |
| What people complain about under this Douyin video (a link) | `douyin.videos.comments.list` |
| The titles and reads of this Official Account's last 30 articles | `wechat_mp.accounts.articles.list`, `wechat_mp.articles.metrics` |
| The top 10 of today's Weibo, Zhihu and Bilibili hot lists | `weibo.trends.list`, `zhihu.trends.list`, `bilibili.trends.list` |

## How does it differ from an MCP that logs in with my account?

Most open-source platform MCPs use your own account: a QR login, a process you run, and a dropped session when the cookie expires or the account signs in elsewhere, with some risk to the account. DataXAPI's is a remote server that takes a key and reads public data only; it cannot post, like or comment. Paid per call; a failed call is not charged.

## Why DataXAPI

- Steady: endpoints were available 99.9% of the last 30 days, on a public status page you can check.
- Fast: a paid call took 2.5 seconds at the median over the last 7 days (counted 2026-11-06).
- Fewer tokens: across 226 endpoints, one recorded real response each, the platform's own JSON comes to 9.2M tokens and what an AI reads through DataXAPI's MCP server to 452k, 95% fewer; the JSON of a direct API call is 90% fewer too (counted 2026-11-06). Every platform answers in one shape: the author in `author`, counts in `metrics`, the next page in `page.next_cursor`, so another platform needs no new parser.
- See before you pay: every endpoint's page shows a recorded real response, field by field.
- Spending you control: a failed call is not charged; each key can have a limit, `X-Max-Price` caps one call, and the same `Idempotency-Key` within 24 hours is never charged twice.
- Ready for AI: a remote MCP server listed in the official MCP registry as `com.dataxapi/mcp`, usable from Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT.
- Free trial of up to 333 calls, no card.
