    How to connect

    How to connect social-data to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://honesthook.com/api/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect social-data to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://honesthook.com/api/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Authorization

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    Server tool list (12)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    list_platformsList every social platform HonestHook can read right now — the platforms you'd otherwise write a scraper for: Instagram, TikTok, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, GitHub, Pinterest, SoundCloud, Linktree, Medium, Telegram — and what a handle looks like on each one. Use this before asking for a profile, to check the platform is covered and the handle format is right. No API key needed, and it costs 0 credits.
    list_endpointsList every HonestHook API endpoint: public profiles (followers, following, posts count, bio, verified), recent posts, the historical trend archive, and per-profile history. Returns the URL and the query parameters for each, and says which ones you can call as a tool on this server — profiles through `fetch_profile`, posts through `fetch_posts` — and which are HTTP only. No API key needed, and it costs 0 credits.
    pricingWhat each HonestHook call costs in credits, and which calls are free when they find nothing. Includes the free monthly allowance that every key gets with no card, at https://honesthook.com/docs#key. Use this to estimate cost before building. No API key needed, and it costs 0 credits.
    archive_coverageHow much trend history HonestHook already holds, by niche — AI agents, developer tools, indie SaaS — with the most recent hourly window captured. Use this to check whether the archive goes back far enough for your question before you build on it. No API key needed, and it costs 0 credits.
    get_docsHow to authenticate, how the response envelope is shaped, what happens when credits run out, and where to get a free key with 1,000 credits a month and no card. Read this before writing code against the API. No API key needed, and it costs 0 credits.
    check_balanceHow many credits are left on your HonestHook API key: the free monthly allowance, the purchased balance, when the allowance renews, and what this cycle spent, broken down by endpoint. Requires an API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` — free key at https://honesthook.com/docs#key. Checking the balance costs 0 credits — reading it never changes it.
    fetch_profileRead one public profile and get the numbers back: follower count, following count, posts count, bio, verified flag and avatar. Works on Instagram, TikTok, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, GitHub, Pinterest, SoundCloud, Linktree, Medium and Telegram. Mastodon handles are always `user@instance` — the local name alone identifies nobody. Requires an API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` — free key at https://honesthook.com/docs#key; costs 1 credit.
    fetch_postsRead the recent posts of one public profile: the text, likes, replies, reposts, quotes, the post URL and when it was published. Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon and Telegram. Boosts and reposts of other people are filtered out — you get what the account itself wrote, its replies included. `limit` is optional on Bluesky and Mastodon, and each has its own range: a value outside it is rejected rather than silently trimmed. Threads does not accept `limit` at all and answers 400 if you send it — its posts arrive inside the same document as the profile, so there is no upstream to ask for a count. Telegram ignores `limit`: it returns every post in the public preview page, with no login and no bot token. Telegram's `followers` is always null on this endpoint — the preview page only prints the subscriber count abbreviated, not exact. Requires an API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` — free key at https://honesthook.com/docs#key; costs 1 credit.
    archive_moversWho grew and who shrank most in a niche, over a window we have already archived — the comparison done for you, ranked. Call `archive_coverage` first: it lists the valid niche ids and how far back each one goes. `hours` is 1 to 720 (30 days) and defaults to 24; `limit` is 1 to 100 and defaults to 20. A value outside the range is rejected rather than silently trimmed. Requires an API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` — free key at https://honesthook.com/docs#key; costs 10 credits — free when nothing moved.
    archive_trendsHow a niche moved over a window we have already archived, grouped by item: where each account stood then and where it stands now. This is the question nobody can answer after the fact — nobody photographs the past retroactively. Call `archive_coverage` first for the valid niche ids and how far back the archive goes. `from` and `to` are ISO 8601; without them you get the last 7 days, and the archive caps any window at 90 days. Requires an API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` — free key at https://honesthook.com/docs#key; costs 1 credit — charged even when the result is empty.
    profile_historyThe daily history of one public profile we have already archived: how its follower count moved, day by day. ⚠️ It only covers what was captured after somebody first asked for that profile — the series starts the day of the first call and never earlier, and the response says so in `covered_from`. A handle nobody ever asked for comes back with an empty series, which means 'we never looked', never 'nothing changed'. Requires an API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` — free key at https://honesthook.com/docs#key; costs 1 credit — free when nothing is found.
    github_reposThe public repositories of one GitHub account, with stars and forks. GitHub only — this is the one platform whose repositories we read. `limit` is optional: 30 by default, which is GitHub's own page size, and 100 at most, which is GitHub's ceiling. Requires an API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` — free key at https://honesthook.com/docs#key; costs 1 credit.
