Search Social Media
Search for posts, topics, and conversations across platforms.
Workflow
Check connection
socials_check_access
Get search parameters
- Platform: X, LinkedIn, Reddit, or YouTube?
- Keywords or search query
- Type: Latest, Top, or People (X only)
Open the platform
socials_open_tab({ url: "[platform URL]" })
Execute search
On X:
socials_x_search({
query: "[keywords]",
type: "Latest" | "Top" | "People"
})
On LinkedIn:
socials_linkedin_posts_search({ query: "[keywords]" })
Or for people:
socials_linkedin_people_search({ keywords: "[name or title]" })
On Reddit:
Navigate to the subreddit and use:
socials_get_feed({ platform: "reddit" })
On YouTube (search in the browser):
There is no separate MCP search tool. Build a results URL and open it (URL-encode the query, same idea as encodeURIComponent):
socials_open_tab({
url: "https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hello+kitty"
})
Use socials_navigate on the agent tab to change the search. Apply search filters with:
socials_apply_search_filters({
platform: "youtube",
filters: ["Videos", "This week", "HD"]
})
For a specific video page (/watch?v=...), use socials_get_page_content to extract video metadata plus comments.
- Show results
For X, LinkedIn, or Reddit:
socials_get_feed({ platform: "[platform]" })
For YouTube search results, call socials_get_page_content (optional limit, 1–80, default 40) to read video cards from the results page.
For YouTube watch pages, call socials_get_page_content with optional comment_sort (top or newest) and comments_limit to read fresh comments in that order.
Call socials_fetch_image for thumbnail URLs only when visual inspection materially improves the answer (comparison/detail checks). If text/URLs are enough, keep image URLs as text to reduce token usage.
