Influencers Club MCP Server

Beta — This project is under active development. It works and can be tested, but expect changes before the stable release.

MCP server for the Influencers Club API — creator enrichment, discovery, audience analysis, content data, batch operations, and account management.

Two ways to use it:

Use with claude.ai (Hosted Connector)

The hosted server runs at https://mcp-dashboard.influencers.club/mcp and signs you in with OAuth — no API key to copy around.

1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector (or find Influencers Club in the connectors directory).

2. Enter the URL: https://mcp-dashboard.influencers.club/mcp

3. Click Connect — you'll be redirected to the Influencers Club dashboard to sign in and approve access.

4. Done. Ask Claude things like "Find 5 Instagram creators in fitness with 50k-500k followers."

Requirements: an Influencers Club account with API credits. Discovery and enrichment tools consume credits (costs are listed on every tool and in the tables below); dictionary/lookup tools are free.

Notes:

• The hosted connector exposes the API tools. File and batch tools (CSV export, bulk CSV enrichment) need a local filesystem and are available only in the local install.

• Connection expired / 401 errors: disconnect and reconnect the connector to re-authenticate.

• "Insufficient credits" errors: top up in the dashboard; calls keep failing until the balance is positive.

Use with ChatGPT

Influencers Club is an official app in ChatGPT:

1. Open the app: Influencers Club for ChatGPT

2. Click Connect — you'll be redirected to the Influencers Club dashboard to sign in and approve access.

3. Done. The same API tools are available; the credit requirements and notes from the claude.ai section apply unchanged.

Fallback: Developer Mode

If the app isn't available in your workspace, add the hosted server as a custom connector:

1. In ChatGPT, enable Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode (available on Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans).

2. Add a new connector with the URL: https://mcp-dashboard.influencers.club/mcp

3. Click Connect — you'll be redirected to the Influencers Club dashboard to sign in and approve access.

Local Install (stdio)

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+ or Docker Desktop

• An Influencers Club API key

Quick Start (pip)

pip install influencers-club-mcp

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/Influencers-Club/influencers-club-mcp.git
cd influencers-club-mcp
pip install -e .

Then add to your Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "influencers-club": {
      "command": "influencers-club-mcp",
      "env": {
        "INFLUENCERS_CLUB_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop — the server will appear as "influencers-club". That's it.

Where do files go? By default, exported CSVs and uploads are saved to exports/ and imports/ inside the cloned repo folder. No extra configuration needed.

To use a custom location, add these env vars:

"EXPORT_HOST_DIR": "/your/custom/exports",
"IMPORT_HOST_DIR": "/your/custom/imports",
"OUTPUT_DIR": "/your/custom/exports",
"IMPORTS_DIR": "/your/custom/imports"

Claude Code

Add to your project's .mcp.json or global ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "influencers-club": {
      "command": "influencers-club-mcp",
      "env": {
        "INFLUENCERS_CLUB_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code / Cursor

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "servers": {
    "influencers-club": {
      "command": "influencers-club-mcp",
      "env": {
        "INFLUENCERS_CLUB_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Docker (Advanced)

Use Docker if you want filesystem isolation or prefer containerized deployments.

git clone https://github.com/Influencers-Club/influencers-club-mcp.git
cd influencers-club-mcp
docker build -t influencers-club-mcp .

Add to your Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "influencers-club": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run", "-i", "--rm",
        "-p", "127.0.0.1:8090:8090",
        "-e", "INFLUENCERS_CLUB_API_KEY=your_api_key_here",
        "-e", "UPLOAD_PORT=8090",
        "-e", "UPLOAD_BIND=0.0.0.0",
        "-v", "/path/to/exports:/exports",
        "-v", "/path/to/imports:/imports",
        "-e", "EXPORT_HOST_DIR=/path/to/exports",
        "-e", "IMPORT_HOST_DIR=/path/to/imports",
        "influencers-club-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace /path/to/exports and /path/to/imports with actual paths on your machine. The path appears 4 times — update all of them.

Examples by OS:

• macOS/Linux: /Users/john/influencers-club-mcp/exports

• Windows: C:\\Users\\John\\Desktop\\influencers-club-mcp\\exports (use double backslashes)

After configuring, restart your client. The server will appear as "influencers-club".

Available Tools

API tools are available everywhere (hosted connector and local). Tools marked local only need the local filesystem, so they exist only in stdio installs.

Creator Discovery

Exclusion Lists

Team-shared blocklists of creator handles: one default list per platform plus any specific lists you create. A list filters a search only when passed in filters — exclude_list: [ids], exclude_default_list: true or exclude_all_lists: true. List ids are checked before a search; if they are not this platform's, or cannot be checked, the search is not run.

Enrichment

enrich_by_handle and enrich_by_handle_analytics return every section of the report, compacted so it fits within the assistant's tool-result limit: image and profile links, internal IDs other than post IDs, and map coordinates are left out, lists come as column/row tables, and the longest lists are trimmed (top 30 audience brands, verified accounts only among notable likers and commenters or the 10 largest when none is verified, captions cut to 120 characters, the first 30 other links). The result's notes lists every cut. detail="full" keeps every entry, detail="raw" returns the API response as it came, and a sections list (overview, audience, audience_brands, audience_notable_users, audience_lookalikes, sponsors, sponsored_posts, lookalikes, and posts on the full tier) leaves out the parts a question doesn't need. enrich_by_handle_profile takes detail too: it leaves out image links and cuts other links to the first 30 unless detail="full".

Content Data

Batch Enrichment (local only)

File Management (local only)

Usage Examples

Find fitness influencers on Instagram:

"Find 5 Instagram creators with 50k-500k followers who post about fitness and have an engagement rate above 3%."

Enrich a creator profile by handle:

"Get me the full profile for @cristiano on Instagram, including audience demographics."

Find similar creators for campaign scaling:

"I like the creator @MrBeast on YouTube. Find 10 similar creators with at least 100k followers."

Compare audience overlap:

"Compare the audience overlap between @nike, @adidas, and @puma on Instagram."

Get a creator's recent posts:

"Show me the latest posts from @garyvee on TikTok with engagement metrics."

Find all connected social accounts:

"What other social media accounts does @cristiano have linked to their Instagram?"

Check your remaining API credits:

"How many credits do I have left?"

Supported Platforms

Environment Variables (local install)

Troubleshooting

• Hosted connector shows "disconnected" or tools return 401 — remove and re-add the connector (or click Reconnect) to refresh the OAuth session.

• Errors mentioning credits or limits — check your balance with check_credits or in the dashboard; calls fail until the limit resets or credits are added.

• Local: server doesn't appear in Claude Desktop — verify the config JSON is valid and restart the app; check that influencers-club-mcp runs from a terminal.

• Local: upload page unreachable — another process may hold port 8090; set UPLOAD_PORT to a free port.

• Anything else: open an issue or email gjorgji.p@influencers.club.

Privacy Policy

This MCP server is a thin client between the connected AI assistant (e.g. Claude or ChatGPT) and the Influencers Club API. The sections below describe what the server itself does with your data; the Influencers Club platform's full data practices are governed by the Influencers Club Privacy Policy.

Data we collect. None. The server does not collect, persist, or transmit personally identifiable information about the human using the AI assistant. The only inputs it receives are the tool arguments the assistant sends (e.g. a creator handle or a CSV path) and the bearer token used to authenticate against the Influencers Club API.

How data is used. Tool arguments are forwarded directly to the Influencers Club API to fulfill the requested operation (discovery, enrichment, batch processing, etc.). Responses are returned to the assistant. The server performs no analytics, profiling, or model training on this data.

Storage. The server keeps no database. The only data written to disk are: (a) CSV exports/imports the user explicitly creates via the file tools, written to local directories the user controls (exports/, imports/, or paths set by EXPORT_HOST_DIR / IMPORT_HOST_DIR); (b) a small .ic_config.json file storing the chosen export path. No conversation content, API responses, or credentials are persisted.

Third-party sharing. The server communicates with exactly one third party: the Influencers Club API. No data is sent to any other endpoint, analytics service, or telemetry provider. The bearer token is transmitted only to the Influencers Club API over HTTPS and is redacted from any error messages returned to the assistant.

Retention. The server retains nothing in-process beyond the lifetime of a single tool call, with the exception of the user-controlled CSV files described above, which the user can delete at any time. Bearer tokens are read from environment variables (or, in hosted/HTTP mode, from the authenticated request) and are never written to disk.

Contact. Privacy questions and data-deletion requests: gjorgji.p@influencers.club. Security disclosures may also be filed via GitHub Issues.
