Zhihu MCP: frequently asked questions
Yes. The hosted InsightSocial MCP server at https://api.insightsocial.app/mcp gives an AI assistant 5 Zhihu endpoints, read-only and public data only, alongside the other 24 platforms. Claude and ChatGPT connect by signing in; Cursor and other clients send an API key.
Answer, Question, Question Answers, Profile, Search Articles. Each has a published price, and the assistant can quote it before calling.
Searching, describing and pricing endpoints are free. Fetching data costs the endpoint's price in credits, and your first 10 calls priced at 100 credits or less are free. A call that errors or finds nothing costs 0. The free plan includes monthly credits, with no card needed.
The tool that fetches data is marked as one that spends, so MCP clients ask before running it. The assistant can also quote the exact price of a call first, for free.
Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube, Reddit, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Truth Social, Snapchat, Telegram, Twitch, Kick, Rumble, Kwai, Douyin, Xiaohongshu (RedNote), Quora, TikTok Shop, Weibo, Zhihu, Substack, Nextdoor: 303 endpoints for public profiles, posts, comments, followers, search, transcripts and ad libraries. Public data only; it never logs in as you on those platforms.
An app you connected by signing in gets its own key, listed under Connected apps on your API keys page: disconnect it there and it loses access straight away. A key you pasted into a config is revoked on the same page.
Other platforms
One MCP server covers all of them: 303 endpoints in total.
