File contents

XiaoHongShu Search MCP

Use this skill when the user wants to search XiaoHongShu / RED / RedNote and receive structured JSON results through the hosted whatson.red MCP endpoint.

Requirements

The user needs a whatson.red account with an Agent API key from https://www.whatson.red/agents.
Read the API key from WHATSON_RED_API_KEY.
Send the key as Authorization: Bearer ${WHATSON_RED_API_KEY}.
MCP requests use account-based whatson.red billing and credits.

MCP Endpoint

Use the Streamable HTTP endpoint:

https://www.whatson.red/api/agent/mcp

Primary tool:

search_xiaohongshu_notes

Tool Arguments

query string, required: Search query in English, Chinese, or pinyin.
limit number, optional: 1-100, default 60. Values above 20 fetch additional search pages.
include_note_details boolean, optional: Default true. Includes note detail payloads when available.
include_blog boolean, optional: Default false. Returns a draft blog/article payload without publishing it.

Use limit values such as 40, 60, 80, or 100 when the user needs more than one page of notes. Note details are best-effort for the returned real notes.

Expected Response

The tool returns structured content with:

query
translatedQuery
searchQuery
notes
noteDetails
blog
blogError
usage

usage includes charged credits, remaining credits, and whether the request was already charged through idempotency.

REST Alternative

For non-MCP callers, whatson.red also exposes:

POST https://www.whatson.red/api/agent/search

REST supports API-key billing and accountless x402 payment. x402 is REST-only; do not use x402 for MCP. REST x402 searches cost $0.05 USDC per raw search on supported USDC networks, and includeBlog=true is not available through x402.

Safety Notes

Do not ask the user for Browserless, proxy, cookie, or deployment secrets; this skill only uses the hosted whatson.red MCP endpoint.
Do not attempt to scrape XiaoHongShu directly from this skill.
Do not publish posts when include_blog is true; the returned blog payload is only a draft.
