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

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:

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.

Endpoints

Each with its price; every page has the parameters, the fields and a recorded response.
