Connects AI assistants to CreatorDB V3 API for creator discovery, demographic checks, and brand sponsorship analytics across major video platforms.

This MCP server exposes 43 tools from the CreatorDB V3 API. It lets your assistant look up influencer profiles, audience demographics, and metrics across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. You can filter creators by niche, subscriber count, location, or natural language prompts. Another cluster of tools inspects sponsor activity, pulling brand history, past sponsored creators, and audience overlap.
Each response appends token expenditure details, showing how many credits were deducted and what balance remains. This visibility matters because heavy sponsor queries consume 15 credits per call. Currently, post-level discovery works exclusively for TikTok videos, while YouTube and Instagram content search is paused by the vendor.
Running the tool requires a CreatorDB V3 API key, plus Node.js 22 or newer if executed locally. Without an active credential, queries fail immediately, and brand sponsorship lookups do not cover TikTok at all.
What it helps with
- filter creators on YouTube and Instagram by audience demographics
- inspect brands to see which creators they sponsored
- retrieve TikTok video engagement by hashtags and publish dates
- monitor API credit consumption during influencer research
