Install

How do I install the io.github.khan-ashifur/hooklayer MCP server?

io.github.khan-ashifur/hooklayer is a hosted endpoint at https://hooklayer.dev/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
analyze_account ~484

Analyze a TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram creator by handle or channel ID. Returns viral DNA scores (viral_dna_score, replicability_score, originality_score, consistency_score, audience_fatigue), content patterns, format fingerprint, top recent videos with transcripts, content gaps, a headline_insight object (the single largest quantified performance gap across length, hook, format, and cadence, plus its so_what), and suggested next research steps. Use when the user asks to analyze a creator, account, channel, or competitor. Supports TikTok (full transcript extraction), YouTube (Shorts and longform analysis with captions when available), and Instagram (Reels with best-effort transcripts).

NameTypeReqDescription
handlestringyesCreator handle (with or without @ prefix) or YouTube channel ID. Examples: "@mrbeast", "mrbeast", "UCX6OQ3DkcsbYNE6H8uQQuVA".
platformstringPlatform to analyze. "tiktok" (default) returns full pipeline with transcripts. "youtube" analyzes recent Shorts via YouTube Data API + Innertube caption extraction — videos with captions disabled or…
recent_onlybooleanWhen true, hard-cap the candidate pool to videos posted in the last 90 days. Stricter than `window=90d` because it never falls through to archival data on a thin recent corpus.
sincestringOptional ISO date (e.g. "2026-04-01"). Filter the candidate video pool to those posted on/after this date. Useful when the user asks "show me what they've done THIS month" — the route returns honest…
windowstringRecency sugar — same effect as `since` but takes a friendlier bucket. Maps to a since-cutoff at request time. Use either `since` or `window`, not both.
NameTypeReqDescription
content_gapsarrayUntapped content opportunities the creator is missing
credits_remainingnumberCredits remaining after this call
format_fingerprintobjectDominant content format patterns (durations, styles, edit types)
from_paygbooleanWhether credits came from pay-as-you-go balance
from_subscriptionbooleanWhether credits came from subscription
headline_insightobjectThe largest quantified performance gap for this creator, plus its implication. Presentation-neutral data — the caller decides whether and how to surface it.
pattern_analysisobjectContent pattern breakdown (posting cadence, topic clusters)
profileobjectCreator profile (handle, bio, followers, following, total_likes, total_videos)
recent_videosarrayTop recent videos with view counts, transcripts, and engagement
recommended_chainarraySuggested next tool calls with pre-filled parameters — advisory only, agent decides whether to execute
steal_maparrayActionable elements to replicate from this creator
viral_dnaobjectFive viral DNA scores (0-100 each)

No examples provided.

brief_to_blueprint ~530

Turn a brand brief that just landed into a one-page creative blueprint the manager can forward to the creator and to the brand contact — hook + template + hashtag combo + trend-velocity check + shoot instructions, in one call. Use when a brand sends a product and needs content on a tight turnaround (e.g. "product arrived, need content in 48 hours") and the manager needs a defensible direction with no research time. Chains find_viral_template + trend_pulse + score_hook + predict_virality upstream but exposes them as one MCP tool so agents don't stitch them manually. Cost 7 credits (bundle discount vs firing the chain manually). Returns a blueprint object with verdict (GO | NEEDS_MORE_DATA | NO_GO) and verdict_reason, a hook (text + trend_still_alive: up-slope | plateau | fading | unknown), script, hashtags, shoot notes, risk flags, and manager talking points, plus a quality object (level + reason) describing completeness; when quality.level is not "full", or verdict is NEEDS_MORE_DATA or NO_GO, the blueprint is a starting point rather than a shippable direction.

NameTypeReqDescription
creator_handlestringOptional creator handle (with or without @). If provided, the blueprint hook and script match THEIR voice patterns from recent videos. Highly recommended — a blueprint without creator context is gene…
deadline_hoursintegerHow many hours until the video must be posted. Default 48. Affects trend-still-alive scoring — a 24-hour deadline needs a trend on the up-slope, not one that just plateaued.
nichestringyesOne of the 17 supported niches. Loose names like "beauty" or "fitness" are auto-mapped.
platformstringTarget platform. Both TikTok and Instagram Reels supported (shipped 2026-07-06). When set to "instagram", the product-corpus lookup runs against Instagram Reels via ScrapeCreators, and the creator co…
productstringyesWhat the brand sent (name + one line, e.g. "Athletic Greens AG1 travel packs — 30-count individual sachets for travel")
product_categorystringyesUmbrella category (e.g. "greens powder", "sunscreen", "protein bar")
regionstringOptional 2-letter ISO country code (US, GB, CA, etc.). Threads to niche + trend upstreams.

find_viral_template ~434

Find proven viral templates in a niche with example videos. Returns templates ranked by performance, including hook patterns, format structures, average views, and example URLs. Use when the user asks what's working in a niche or wants concrete copyable structures. Supports 17 niches with optional angle narrowing via query parameter for more specific results (e.g., "postpartum strength" within Fitness).

NameTypeReqDescription
min_viewsintegerOptional filter — only return examples above this view count
nichestringyesOne of the 17 supported niches. Loose names like "travel" or "fitness" are accepted but pass the canonical form when possible.

get_changes ~260

Detect what changed since the last saved baseline for a tracked creator. Runs a fresh analyze_account under the hood, compares against the most recent CreatorSnapshot, persists the new snapshot, and returns ONLY the meaningful shifts (format, viral DNA, engagement, hook pattern, topic pillars, outlier videos). Use when the user asks 'what changed with @creator', 'anything new', 'check this competitor again', 'what's different since last time', 'check my tracked creator', or 'has anything changed'. Requires a previously tracked creator (call analyze_account + watch_account first if there is no baseline yet). Costs 5 credits per call because the fresh analysis is genuine (not cached). Returns a top_action pointing at the single next tool worth calling given the detected change. Returns status='no_meaningful_change' honestly when nothing shifted — no fabricated deltas.

NameTypeReqDescription
handlestringCreator handle (with or without @). Required if watch_id is not provided.
platformstringPlatform the tracked creator publishes on. Required if watch_id is not provided.

No examples provided.

list_watches ~96

List every creator the authenticated user is tracking. Read-only, 0 credits. Returns each watch's id, platform, handle, when it was created + last updated, when the last snapshot was taken, and whether it's active. Does NOT return the snapshot payload itself — call watch_account (idempotent) to refresh a baseline. Use when the user asks 'what am I tracking', 'show my watches', 'list creators'.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No examples provided.

match_voice ~115

Extract a creator's voice DNA from reference samples and rewrite a draft in their style. Requires at least 3 reference samples (video URLs or text). Returns voice profile (energy, humor, vocabulary, signature phrases), reusable prompt instructions, and the rewritten draft. Use when the user wants to write in another creator's style or match a specific voice.

No examples provided.

viral_remix ~364

Take a viral video and produce a fresh script that mirrors its structure and energy pattern for a new topic. Returns the extracted formula, scene-by-scene script with voiceover and visuals, camera directions, and text overlays. Use when the user finds a video they want to replicate the structure of. Pass either a video URL (TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram) or a transcript directly. When promoting a specific product, ALWAYS pass target_product + verified_product_facts so the generator does not fabricate product details.

NameTypeReqDescription
my_topicstringDEPRECATED alias for target_topic. Legacy clients only. Normalized internally.
nichestringOptional niche hint
platformstringTarget platform for the remix. Adjusts pacing and CTA style if provided.
source_urlstringTikTok/YouTube/Instagram URL — transcript will be auto-extracted

No examples provided.

watch_account ~219

Start tracking a creator so future calls can detect what changed. Creates a durable CreatorWatch + a baseline CreatorSnapshot capturing the creator's current viral DNA scores, format fingerprint, and top recent videos. Use when the user says 'track', 'watch', 'follow', 'keep an eye on' a creator/channel/handle. Idempotent — calling 'watch @same' twice with a fresh baseline in place returns the existing watch with credits_charged=0. Cost: 0 credits when a fresh existing watch snapshot or a compatible recent analyze_account cache can be reused. Otherwise a fresh baseline invokes analyze_account and costs 5 credits — this can happen even for an already-existing watch once freshness expires. Reuses the same 'analyze' permission as analyze_account — no new OAuth scope, no re-consent required.

NameTypeReqDescription
handlestringyesCreator handle (with or without @ prefix). Examples: "@mrbeast", "mrbeast".
