# Weibo MCP server for Claude and Cursor (2026)

DataXAPI's MCP server has 11 Weibo endpoints: live search, whole posts, comments and replies, likers, accounts and followers, and the hot search list. In Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT you ask in a sentence at $0.0020 a call, with no Weibo account of yours. 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 Weibo?

A post's link or a keyword will do.

| You say | What it calls |
| --- | --- |
| The latest 50 Weibo posts about a brand | `weibo.posts.search` |
| How the comments under this post split, positive against negative | `weibo.posts.comments.list` |
| The top 20 hot searches, with the latest posts on each | `weibo.trends.list`, `weibo.posts.search` |
| This account's last 30 posts and its follower count | `weibo.users.posts.list`, `weibo.users.get` |

## Good to know

Long posts are cut short in search and account lists; post details give the whole text. It reads public data only, 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 1.6 seconds at the median over the last 7 days (counted 2026-11-06).
- Fewer tokens: across 11 endpoints on Weibo, one recorded real response each, the platform's own JSON comes to 551k tokens and what an AI reads through DataXAPI's MCP server to 17k, 97% fewer; the JSON of a direct API call is 94% 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.
