Search Social Media

Search for posts, topics, and conversations across platforms.

Workflow

1. Check connection

   socials_check_access
   

2. Get search parameters

   • Platform: X, LinkedIn, Reddit, or YouTube?
   • Keywords or search query
   • Type: Latest, Top, or People (X only)

3. Open the platform

   socials_open_tab({ url: "[platform URL]" })
   

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Offer next actions

   • Engage with a post
   • Search with different terms
