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.
