HasData Facebook — Claude Code MCP server: how to install
A hosted MCP server that retrieves public Facebook page info, metrics, and post feeds as JSON. Useful for extracting engagement stats without a Meta developer account.
claude mcp add facebook -e HASDATA_API_KEY=<HASDATA_API_KEY> -- npx -y @hasdata/facebook-mcpWhat HasData Facebook does
The server exposes hasdata_facebook_profile_getFacebookProfile to query public pages or profiles via handle, @username, or numeric ID. It responds with category details, bio text, contact information, and total likes. Private accounts and closed groups remain inaccessible.
Clients connect directly to the remote HTTP endpoint or run a local stdio runner via @hasdata/facebook-mcp. The initial request outputs the page record, the newest entry, and photo thumbnails. To inspect older entries, pass nextPageToken from the response to fetch three posts per call.
A HasData API key is mandatory. The service supplies 1000 monthly credits at no cost without credit card registration, which covers 100 profile requests at 10 credits each.
What it helps with
- pull like counts and contact details from public Facebook pages
- fetch engagement metrics including shares and reactions on brand posts
- paginate through past posts using nextPageToken cursors
- inspect verified status and categories for competitor profiles
Example prompts for the agent
- Check the exact follower count and contact info on the @nike Facebook page.
- Fetch recent posts and reaction counts for this Facebook brand profile.
- Retrieve the next batch of posts using this nextPageToken.
