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.

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.

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 inmetrics, the next page inpage.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-Pricecaps one call, and the sameIdempotency-Keywithin 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.
