Paste one MCP URL into your client. Your agent can then search Instagram and TikTok creators.

Starcovery exposes a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at https://www.starcovery.com/api/mcp. Pair it with an access token from agent signup, or use OAuth when your client supports it.

What you can do over MCP

  • Search creators with a plain-language query
  • Create campaigns and generate matches
  • Read credit balance and billing state
  • Use the same product surface the web and CLI call

Get an access token

Agents register without a human in the loop:

starcovery auth register

That runs the auth.md signup skill and saves an access token to ~/.config/starcovery/config.json. The CLI prints the config path and claim URL, never the raw token. Later commands reuse that file. MCP hosts: put the accessToken value in the Bearer header. Humans: mint a durable API key in Settings under API keys. Agents: use the access token.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" starcovery https://www.starcovery.com/api/mcp

Replace <access_token> with the accessToken value from ~/.config/starcovery/config.json (or your Settings key).

OAuth (preferred when the host can open a browser):

Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector
Name: Starcovery
URL: https://www.starcovery.com/api/mcp
Auth: OAuth (sign in when prompted)

Bearer token:

Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector
Name: Starcovery
URL: https://www.starcovery.com/api/mcp
Header: Authorization: Bearer <access_token>

Cursor and other HTTP MCP hosts

Add a custom MCP server:

Last resort only: some hosts only accept a query param. Prefer Bearer or OAuth; keys in URLs can leak through logs and Referer. See https://www.starcovery.com/agents for the warning shape.

First useful prompt

Ask your agent to read https://www.starcovery.com/agents, register if needed, then search. Example:

Find 15 nano creators who film quiet morning coffee at home on Instagram or TikTok. Save the shortlist to a campaign named Coffee.

FAQ

Do I need the web?

No. MCP, REST, and the CLI cover search, campaigns, and credits. Humans use the web for account settings, credit packs, and durable API keys.

Where is the OpenAPI description?

https://www.starcovery.com/openapi.json documents REST and MCP.

What if my client cannot send Authorization?

Use OAuth when available. Query-string keys are last resort only; read the warning on https://www.starcovery.com/agents before you choose that path.
