ViralHunt MCP Server

An MCP server for ViralHunt.io — the all-in-one platform to discover what's trending, curate it with your team, and publish everywhere. A BuzzSumo alternative with a built-in cross-network scheduler and an API that AI agents can drive end to end.

Get a free token: https://viralhunt.io → Account → API Access (7-day trial, no card). Full API docs: https://viralhunt.io/api.

What an agent can do through this MCP server

These are the tools this server exposes (they drive the full discover → publish → verify → correct loop):

ToolWhat it does
viralhunt_trendingFind topics — what's going viral on TikTok / Instagram / X / Facebook / Pinterest / RSS, ranked by viral score (engagement velocity)
viralhunt_targetsList your brands/projects and the connected accounts you can post to
viralhunt_schedulePublish now or schedule a post (text + media) across your connected accounts
viralhunt_get_postCheck a post's status + per-network permalinks
viralhunt_update_postEdit a still-scheduled post (body / media / networks / time)
viralhunt_cancel_postCancel the not-yet-published targets of a scheduled post

Guardrails baked in: it won't post to the wrong brand, only schedules in the future, and is told not to repost fake news / copyrighted media / spam.

What ViralHunt the platform does (beyond this MCP)

ViralHunt is a full product; the tools above are the agent-drivable slice. The rest lives in the app (and some via the REST API):

  • Trending Radar — a live cross-network feed of viral content by niche and time window.
  • Cross-network publishing & scheduling — schedule/publish to up to 11 networks (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Telegram, Google Business), per brand.
  • Editorial Board (team) — a kanban to curate before publishing: columns, categories, assignments, comments and team chat, so a team manages what goes out. (Cards/columns/comments are in the REST API.)
  • Auto-DM (comment → DM automation) — when someone comments your keyword on Instagram, ViralHunt auto-replies and sends them a DM — like ManyChat, but flat pricing, unlimited contacts, and a monthly cap that resets. Configured in the app (runs via webhooks); Facebook next.
  • Reports — what each brand/network actually did: posts, reach, DMs sent, replies, top content.

Note: Auto-DM and the editorial board are product features, not tools this MCP exposes today. This server focuses on the discover → publish → manage loop.
