What the publisher says

From the Youtube Transcripts repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

social-data-mcp

Pay-per-result data tools — X/Twitter profiles & tweets, YouTube videos & channels, TikTok profiles & video stats, YouTube / TikTok transcripts, and LinkedIn companies & public profiles — exposed to AI agents as MCP servers and as Agent Skills. They run on Apify. No platform API key is needed and nothing logs in on its own; the one exception is full X timelines, which need cookies from a session of your own (X shows logged-out visitors only an account's latest few posts). You are charged only for results that actually came back, at the same price on every Apify plan (free included).

The YouTube and TikTok tools can also return the transcript alongside the stats (includeSubtitles: true, no extra charge).

Narrower single-purpose variants of the same code, for when you want exactly one thing: x-profile-data · single-tweet-scraper · youtube-video-stats · tiktok-follower-count · tiktok-video-stats.

Use as an MCP server (hosted, no install)

Apify hosts an MCP endpoint for every Actor. Add one URL to any client that supports remote MCP servers (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, …) and authenticate with your Apify account when prompted:
