Connect AI Agents to MultiFollow with MCP

MultiFollow already has a REST API for managing trackers. MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is how AI agents call that same surface without you writing glue code. One URL, your existing API key, and Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, or any other MCP client can list, create, update, and delete Linkedin and X trackers on your account.

Signals still arrive by email, Slack, or API webhook. MCP is for the other half of the loop: letting an agent maintain the watchlist. "Track this prospect on Linkedin, posts and comments only, keyword hiring" becomes a tool call instead of a dashboard click.

What the agent can do

The MCP server exposes five tools that match the REST API:

list_trackers — list Linkedin and/or X trackers on your team
get_tracker — fetch one tracker by platform and ID
create_tracker — start watching a profile, with keyword filters and optional per-tracker webhooks
update_tracker — replace an existing tracker (send the full object)
delete_tracker — remove a tracker permanently

Plan limits, reader/manager roles, and webhook entitlements are the same as the API. MCP is available on Business, Enterprise, and custom plans.

Connect in a few minutes

Open your MultiFollow dashboard, go to API & MCP, and create an API key.
Point your MCP client at https://api.multifollow.io/mcp.
Send the header Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http multifollow https://api.multifollow.io/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor / VS Code

Add this to mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "multifollow": {
      "url": "https://api.multifollow.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop / claude.ai

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Paste https://api.multifollow.io/mcp. For authentication, add a request header named Authorization with value Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.

ChatGPT

Enable Developer mode under Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings, then create a connector with the same URL and bearer token.

Example prompts

Once the client is connected, you can talk to the agent in plain language:

"List my Linkedin trackers and tell me which ones are paused."
"Create a tracker for https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndoe/ that watches posts and comments, filtered to hiring,funding."
"Watch https://x.com/acme on posts only, and send alerts to this Slack webhook."
"Disable tracker 42 on Linkedin without deleting it."

The agent uses the tools; you do not have to remember field names. Full parameter reference is in the MCP documentation.

Frequently asked questions

Is MCP a replacement for the REST API?

No. The REST API is still there for scripts, backends, and Zapier-style HTTP. MCP is the same operations, packaged for AI agents. Both use the same API keys and the same plan.

Does MCP receive the sales signals?

No. When a tracked profile posts, comments, or likes, MultiFollow still delivers the signal by email, Slack, or API webhook. MCP is for managing trackers, not for streaming activity. Pipe webhooks into Clay, n8n, or your CRM as before.

Which plans include MCP?

Business ($79/month), Enterprise, and custom plans. The same plans that include the REST API.
