Overview

CreatorCrawl exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI assistants call TikTok data tools directly. Instead of writing HTTP requests, your AI agent uses structured tool calls — and CreatorCrawl handles the rest. Same API key. Same credits. Same data. Just a different interface. Endpoint
https://creatorcrawl.com/api/mcp

Setup

Add CreatorCrawl to your MCP client config. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key from the dashboard.
Run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add creator-crawl \
  --transport http \
  --url https://creatorcrawl.com/api/mcp \
  --header "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
Or add it to your .mcp.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "creator-crawl": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://creatorcrawl.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Credits & billing

MCP tool calls use the same credit system as REST API requests. Each tool call costs 1 credit. Monitor your balance from the dashboard.

Authentication

The MCP server uses the same API key as the REST API. Pass it via the x-api-key header in your MCP client config. Get your key from the dashboard.
