pulse-mcp

MCP server for Pulse — a free, agent-first social-post metrics API. Give any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, …) the numbers behind any public post: hand it a URL, get back views, likes, comments, and the publish date as clean JSON. No signup, no API key.

{ "mcpServers": { "pulse": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "pulse-mcp"] } } }

That's it — drop it in your MCP config and your agent has four new tools.

Tools

Example — ask your agent "how did this video do?" with a link, and it gets:

{
  "platform": "youtube",
  "views": 1781088936,
  "likes": 19147197,
  "comments": null,
  "publishedAt": "2009-10-25T06:57:33.000Z",
  "title": "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Video)"
}

Platform coverage

It reads each platform's own public pages from a residential IP, so it sees what a browser sees — and it's honest about the edges: a deleted/private post comes back content_unavailable, a login-walled one login_required, never a silent row of zeros.

Config

• Free — no account, no key, no wallet.

• PULSE_API_URL — override the backend (defaults to https://pulse.walls.sh).

Built in public as Wall #002 of walls.sh. Docs: https://pulse.walls.sh/docs · machine-readable: /llms.txt · OpenAPI.
