For AI assistants

CreatorScore MCP server

Vet creators, influencers, and athletes from inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any Model Context Protocol client — without leaving the conversation. Ask for a creator's 1–100 trust score, the full 7-agent breakdown, or a fair sponsorship rate, and get an answer in the chat.

What it is (and isn't)

The MCP server is a thin client over the public CreatorScore API. It holds exactly one secret — your API key — and makes plain HTTPS calls to creatorscore.io/api/v1. It has no database access and no scraping, ML, or provider credentials. Every score is produced server-side by the same gated scoring pipeline brands use on the dashboard.

That means the assistant is strictly less privileged than a logged-in brand: credit metering, rate limits, and the daily fresh-scrape safety cap all apply automatically. An agent can't run up a surprise bill — see Costs & safety below.

Tools

Tool	What it does	Cost
`help`	Shows the menu of everything CreatorScore can do and the input each option needs — the assistant offers this when you connect.	Free
`check_account`	Your credit balance and per-platform pricing.	Free
`score_creator_footprint`	From a single handle, discover the creator's accounts across platforms (their bio's link-in-bio + Google-verified matches, each with a confidence) and return the unified whole-footprint score, breakdown, and worst risks. The easiest way to vet a creator.	1 credit discovery + 1 per scored account
`vet_creator`	Vet one creator across all their accounts at once (you supply the handles) — unified cross-platform CreatorScore, per-platform breakdown, and worst risks on any account. Never scrapes.	1 credit per scored account
`score_creator_fresh`	Runs a fresh, full scoring pass (scrape + transcribe + score). Requires explicit confirmation.	1–3 credits / platform
`check_score_job`	Poll a fresh-scoring job until it's done.	Free
`calculate_fair_rate`	What to charge or pay for a sponsored post — a fair rate, confidence band, and multiplier breakdown (OCRS). Pure math, no scraping or scoring.	Free — 0 credits

Requirements

You need Node.js 18 or newer installed (that's what provides npx). There's nothing else to install or build — npx fetches and runs creatorscore-mcp automatically the first time your assistant starts it.

Add it to your assistant

Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config) and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "creatorscore": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "creatorscore-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CREATORSCORE_API_KEY": "sk_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The tools appear under the 🔌 icon.

Claude Code

claude mcp add creatorscore \
  -e CREATORSCORE_API_KEY=sk_live_... \
  -- npx -y creatorscore-mcp

ChatGPT, Cursor & other MCP clients

Any MCP-compatible client works the same way: register a stdio server that runs node /path/to/mcp-server/dist/index.js with the CREATORSCORE_API_KEY environment variable set. Consult your client's MCP / custom-connector settings for where to add it.

Try it

Once connected, just ask in natural language:

"Check my CreatorScore balance."
"Vet @alixearle on tiktok — any brand-safety risks?"
"Here's my campaign roster of 30 handles — which ones already have a score and which need one?"
"What should I pay for a 30-second UGC TikTok in the beauty niche from a creator with 200k median views?"

You:  Vet @savzuk's footprint on tiktok for a campaign.
AI →  (calls score_creator_footprint) Found 3 accounts — tiktok, youtube,
       and instagram @savannah_zuk (cross-handle, via her link-in-bio).
       Unified CreatorScore: 84/100. Worst risk: [medium] Profanity (tiktok).

You:  What's a fair rate for one 30s beauty TikTok, ~200k median views?
AI →  (calls calculate_fair_rate) Fair rate: $2,100 · range $1,790–$2,420.
       Free — no credits used.

Costs & safety

Footprint, not single accounts. A CreatorScore is always a creator's whole cross-platform footprint, never one isolated account. Footprint scoring reads cached scores first and never silently scrapes.
Fresh scoring is explicit. Only score_creator_fresh can spend scrape credits, and it requires explicit confirmation — it won't fire silently.
Hard ceilings apply. Per-key daily fresh-scrape caps and your prepaid credit balance bound every cost. Failed jobs auto-refund.
The rate calculator is free and never scrapes or scores — it's pure sourced math.
