# Douyin MCP server for Claude and Cursor (2026)

DataXAPI's MCP server has 38 Douyin endpoints: video search, video details, comments and replies, accounts' videos, hot lists, Ocean Engine indexes and Xingtu creators. In Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT you ask in a sentence, with no Douyin account of yours; a page of video search is $0.0200. The free trial covers up to 333 calls; a failed call is not charged.

Updated 2026-11-06

## How do I connect it?

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.

## What can I ask about Douyin?

A link or a keyword will do; the AI passes share text and short links to the endpoint as they are.

| You say | What it calls | Price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Search the last week's videos on 低卡零食 and take the 10 most liked | `douyin.videos.search` | $0.0200 a page |
| Sort this video's comments by likes and sum up the questions | `douyin.videos.comments.list` | $0.0020 a page |
| Likes and dates of this creator's last 30 videos | `douyin.users.videos.list` | $0.0020 a page |
| The Douyin index of 露营 over 90 days | `douyin.index.keywords.history` | $0.0060 |
| Food creators on Xingtu, with their rates | `douyin.xingtu.creators.search`, `douyin.xingtu.creators.rates.get` | $0.0400 a creator |

## Good to know

It reads public data only and cannot post, like or comment. Finding endpoints and reading prices is free; data is charged per call, and 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 2.2 seconds at the median over the last 7 days (counted 2026-11-06).
- Fewer tokens: across 36 endpoints on Douyin, one recorded real response each, the platform's own JSON comes to 2.4M tokens and what an AI reads through DataXAPI's MCP server to 72k, 97% fewer; the JSON of a direct API call is 96% 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

- [Douyin video search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/douyin/videos/search/) ($0.0200 / a call): Search Douyin videos by terms, a page at a time, sorted by relevance, newest or most liked and filtered by time posted: caption, author with follower count, engagement counts.
- [Douyin video comments](https://dataxapi.com/apis/douyin/videos/comments/list/) ($0.0020 / a call): Get a page of comments on a Douyin video: text, commenter, likes, reply count, time posted.
- [Douyin user videos](https://dataxapi.com/apis/douyin/users/videos/list/) ($0.0020 / a call): Get a page of the videos a Douyin account has posted, newest first: caption, engagement counts, time posted.

An index is the platform's score of volume, not a count of searches; days are calendar days in China time (UTC+8).

The creator ID the other Xingtu endpoints take comes from here.
- [Douyin Xingtu creator rate card](https://dataxapi.com/apis/douyin/xingtu/creators/rates/get/) ($0.0400 / a call): Get what a Douyin creator charges on Xingtu for each kind of sponsored work, and how it is settled.
