Hooklayer tools (12)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • analyze_accountFree

    Analyze a TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram creator by handle or channel ID. Returns viral DNA scores (viral_dna_score, replicability_score, originality_score, consistency_score, audience_fatigue), content patterns, format fingerprint, top recent videos with transcripts, content gaps, a headline_insight object (the single largest quantified performance gap across length, hook, format, and cadence, plus its so_what), and suggested next research steps. Use when the user asks to analyze a creator, account, channel, or competitor. Supports TikTok (full transcript extraction), YouTube (Shorts and longform analysis with captions when available), and Instagram (Reels with best-effort transcripts).

  • brief_to_blueprintFree

    Turn a brand brief that just landed into a one-page creative blueprint the manager can forward to the creator and to the brand contact — hook + template + hashtag combo + trend-velocity check + shoot instructions, in one call. Use when a brand sends a product and needs content on a tight turnaround (e.g. "product arrived, need content in 48 hours") and the manager needs a defensible direction with no research time. Chains find_viral_template + trend_pulse + score_hook + predict_virality upstream but exposes them as one MCP tool so agents don't stitch them manually. Cost 7 credits (bundle discount vs firing the chain manually). Returns a blueprint object with verdict (GO | NEEDS_MORE_DATA | NO_GO) and verdict_reason, a hook (text + trend_still_alive: up-slope | plateau | fading | unknown), script, hashtags, shoot notes, risk flags, and manager talking points, plus a quality object (level + reason) describing completeness; when quality.level is not "full", or verdict is NEEDS_MORE_DATA or NO_GO, the blueprint is a starting point rather than a shippable direction.

  • find_viral_templateFree

    Find proven viral templates in a niche with example videos. Returns templates ranked by performance, including hook patterns, format structures, average views, and example URLs. Use when the user asks what's working in a niche or wants concrete copyable structures. Supports 17 niches with optional angle narrowing via query parameter for more specific results (e.g., "postpartum strength" within Fitness).

  • get_changesFree

    Detect what changed since the last saved baseline for a tracked creator. Runs a fresh analyze_account under the hood, compares against the most recent CreatorSnapshot, persists the new snapshot, and returns ONLY the meaningful shifts (format, viral DNA, engagement, hook pattern, topic pillars, outlier videos). Use when the user asks 'what changed with @creator', 'anything new', 'check this competitor again', 'what's different since last time', 'check my tracked creator', or 'has anything changed'. Requires a previously tracked creator (call analyze_account + watch_account first if there is no baseline yet). Costs 5 credits per call because the fresh analysis is genuine (not cached). Returns a top_action pointing at the single next tool worth calling given the detected change. Returns status='no_meaningful_change' honestly when nothing shifted — no fabricated deltas.

  • list_watchesFree

    List every creator the authenticated user is tracking. Read-only, 0 credits. Returns each watch's id, platform, handle, when it was created + last updated, when the last snapshot was taken, and whether it's active. Does NOT return the snapshot payload itself — call watch_account (idempotent) to refresh a baseline. Use when the user asks 'what am I tracking', 'show my watches', 'list creators'.

  • match_voiceFree

    Extract a creator's voice DNA from reference samples and rewrite a draft in their style. Requires at least 3 reference samples (video URLs or text). Returns voice profile (energy, humor, vocabulary, signature phrases), reusable prompt instructions, and the rewritten draft. Use when the user wants to write in another creator's style or match a specific voice.

  • predict_viralityFree

    Score a draft script for viral potential with adversarial verification. Returns a virality score, recommendation (ship/rework/no-go), viral DNA breakdown with evidence, attack vectors analysis, and calibration metrics. Use when the user has a finished draft and wants pre-publish verification. Pass either a script string or a video URL.

  • score_hookFree

    Score a TikTok, Reels, or Shorts hook against proven viral patterns. Returns a 0-100 score, percentile rank, matched pattern, strengths, weaknesses, and three improved hook variations. Use when the user has a draft hook to validate, wants to compare alternatives, or needs feedback before publishing.

  • search_videosFree

    Search for short-form videos by keyword across TikTok or Instagram. Returns up to 20 videos ranked by engagement, with view counts, likes, shares, comments, hashtags, author info, and URLs. Use when the user asks to find videos about a topic or keyword. Supports optional filters for niche, minimum views, recency window, and region.

  • trend_pulseFree

    Research what is currently gaining traction in short-form content for a specific niche. Returns rising opportunities (formats, hooks, styles, topics) with growth signals, data sources, and saturated patterns to avoid. Use when the user asks what to post about, what's trending in a niche, or needs to validate a content idea against current trends. Supports 17 niches and optional region filtering.

  • viral_remixFree

    Take a viral video and produce a fresh script that mirrors its structure and energy pattern for a new topic. Returns the extracted formula, scene-by-scene script with voiceover and visuals, camera directions, and text overlays. Use when the user finds a video they want to replicate the structure of. Pass either a video URL (TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram) or a transcript directly. When promoting a specific product, ALWAYS pass target_product + verified_product_facts so the generator does not fabricate product details.

  • watch_accountFree

    Start tracking a creator so future calls can detect what changed. Creates a durable CreatorWatch + a baseline CreatorSnapshot capturing the creator's current viral DNA scores, format fingerprint, and top recent videos. Use when the user says 'track', 'watch', 'follow', 'keep an eye on' a creator/channel/handle. Idempotent — calling 'watch @same' twice with a fresh baseline in place returns the existing watch with credits_charged=0. Cost: 0 credits when a fresh existing watch snapshot or a compatible recent analyze_account cache can be reused. Otherwise a fresh baseline invokes analyze_account and costs 5 credits — this can happen even for an already-existing watch once freshness expires. Reuses the same 'analyze' permission as analyze_account — no new OAuth scope, no re-consent required.

Hooklayer MCP

Viral-content intelligence for AI agents. Drop the Hooklayer MCP server into Claude Desktop, Cursor, n8n, or any HTTP MCP client and your agent gets 12 tools for short-form content across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube: analyze creators, search videos by keyword, find viral templates and rising trends, score and rewrite hooks, remix viral videos, match a creator's voice, predict a draft's virality, turn a brand brief into a shoot-ready creative blueprint, and monitor creators over time with saved watches and historical snapshots.

12 tools · structured JSON · non-destructive creator monitoring · no external social-platform edits or deletes

v1.1.0 (2026-05-14): The evidence layer ships. Every score includes signals[] with cited evidence, a wouldfailbecause counterfactual, and a quality health field. predictvirality runs an independent adversarial check. analyzeaccount.recommendedchain steps now expose confidence, cost, actionclass (authority taxonomy), and expected_output. See CHANGELOG.md for the full ship.

🚀 Quick install

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop doesn't natively support remote HTTP MCP servers — it needs the mcp-remote bridge. Two ways to install:

Option 1 — Custom Connector (easiest, no config file edit)

In Claude's web/desktop UI: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste this URL:

https://hooklayer.dev/api/mcp

Claude.ai will walk you through OAuth (no manual key paste). Done.

Option 2 — Direct config (for power users who want hllive key auth)

Edit claudedesktopconfig.json:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claudedesktopconfig.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hooklayer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@0.1.38",
        "https://hooklayer.dev/api/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:Bearer hl_live_..."
      ]
    }
  }
}

Get your free hllive key at https://hooklayer.dev/auth/signup — 100 lifetime credits, no card required.

Restart Claude Desktop. The 12 Hooklayer tools appear in the 🔌 connector list.

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hooklayer": {
      "url": "https://hooklayer.dev/api/mcp",
      "transport": "http",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer hl_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

n8n

In your workflow, add an MCP Client node and configure as a remote HTTP MCP server:

  • URL: https://hooklayer.dev/api/mcp
  • Transport: HTTP
  • Header: Authorization: Bearer hllive...

All 12 tools appear in the node's "Tool" dropdown.

OAuth 2.1 + PKCE (for Claude.ai connector + custom apps)

Hooklayer is fully OAuth 2.1 compliant — discovery, Dynamic Client Registration, PKCE, refresh token rotation. MCP clients that prefer OAuth over API keys work out of the box.

Discovery endpoints (no auth required, machine-readable):

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
