Endpoint Security63
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability69
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1174 tokens (~130/item across 9 items; 9 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
  • No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage67
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 9 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 10 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Install

How do I install the Social → Context MCP server?

Social → Context is a hosted endpoint at https://api.mcp.ai/p_socialdl, 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.

MCP tools · 9 exposed · ~1,045 tokens

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
authenticate ~99

MCP.AI for IDE agents (Cursor, etc.): log in in the browser, copy the access token. Best: add it to this server's config as a header `Authorization: Bearer <token>` for a permanent, non-expiring connection. Or paste it here for a session-only login: call with { token: "<jwt>" } after the user pastes, or with no args to get the link.

NameTypeReqDescription
tokenstring

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

connect ~42

Returns connection status and URLs. When all providers are connected, returns authenticated:true and empty pending[]. When credentials are missing, returns connect_url for the toolkit and per-install URLs.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

marketplace ~532

The official mcp.ai marketplace — the in-platform catalog of every MCP/tool, AND the way to run them. Covers capability requests like "find an MCP that does X", "consulta um CPF", "is there a tool for Y". Core flow: action=search discovers MCPs by intent → describe returns one MCP's full profile (every tool with its id + params, pricing, auth) so you pick the right tool_id → invoke RUNS that tool. KEY: invoke works even when the MCP is NOT installed — it runs the tool pontualmente (one-off), without adding the MCP to the toolkit and without bloating the tool list. If the MCP needs a credential/login, invoke returns a connect link; if it is paid and the wallet is empty, invoke returns a checkout/top-up link (the user opens it, then you retry). Use install only to make an MCP PERMANENT in the active toolkit (its tools then show up natively in future sessions); prefer invoke for a single/occasional use. list_tools lists what is callable right now. subscribe/cancel handle per-MCP billing; report_bug sends feedback; request_mcp asks us to build a NEW MCP when nothing fits. Search/describe flag installed_in_toolkit vs installed_in_workspace. Writes (install/uninstall/subscribe/cancel and the one-off install behind invoke) require workspace owner/admin. It also carries the mcp.ai PROMPT LIBRARY, which is about ready-made prompt TEXT rather than MCPs: search_prompts finds one, get_prompt returns its full text with {{variables}} filled, and publish_prompt saves a prompt and returns a shareable mcp.ai/p/<slug> link that opens without login.

socialdl_download ~79

Resolve a TikTok / Instagram / YouTube link (or direct .mp4/image URL) to its DIRECT download URLs from the source CDN — every video quality, audio track and image, with quality labels. Use when the user wants to DOWNLOAD/save the media instead of transcribing it. No transcription/vision.

NameTypeReqDescription
urlstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

socialdl_extract ~127

Download a social-media link (TikTok, Instagram reel/post/carousel, YouTube, or any direct .mp4) and return it as usable text context: metadata (author, caption, duration), the audio/video transcript, and a vision description (OCR + summary) of each image in a carousel/post. YouTube uses its existing captions when available. Use this to give Claude the content of a video or post the user pasted.

socialdl_metadata ~62

Lightweight lookup: resolve a social-media link to its metadata (author, caption, duration, counts) and media URLs WITHOUT transcribing or running vision. Cheaper than socialdl_extract — use when the caption/context alone is enough.

NameTypeReqDescription
urlstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

toolkit_info ~37

Returns the current toolkit state: installed MCPs, their connection status, the accounts connected to each one, and how many catalog tools each exposes.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

Common questions

What is the Social → Context MCP server?

Social → Context is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.mcp-dir/socialdl-mcp. Turn a TikTok/Instagram/YouTube link into text for your AI: metadata, transcript and image OCR. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.mcp.ai/p_socialdl).

Is the Social → Context MCP server safe to use?

Social → Context scores 77 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Social → Context MCP server expose?

Social → Context exposes 9 tools: socialdl_extract, socialdl_metadata, socialdl_download, show_version, report_bug, and 4 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,045 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Social → Context MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Social → Context without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the Social → Context MCP server still maintained?

Social → Context is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
