xiaohongshu-mcp keeps losing its login: is there a Xiaohongshu MCP that needs no login? (2026)
Yes, if you only need to read. xiaohongshu-mcp works through your own account, so it drops when its cookies expire or when you log in to that account on another web page. DataXAPI's MCP server reads public notes and comments on a key, with no account or cookie of yours, from $0.0200 a call. It cannot post, like or comment. DataXAPI reads Xiaohongshu (RedNote) with 21 endpoints, from $0.0200 a call; a failed call is not charged.

If you stay with xiaohongshu-mcp
Its README says one account cannot be logged in on several web pages: log in elsewhere and the MCP is kicked out, so check the account in the phone app instead. It also says cookies do expire and call for a new login. check_login_status shows the state, and get_login_qrcode gives a new code to scan.
