Viral Swipe File — Claude Code MCP server
Searches viral TikToks and Instagram Reels by niche and format, giving an agent source material for hooks and content ideas.
claude mcp add --transport http viralswipefile https://viralswipefile.com/api/mcpWhat Viral Swipe File does
Viral Swipe File connects an agent to a library of short videos that performed well. Each entry can include its hook, caption, views, engagement, viral factor, and a watch link. The server supports niche research, creator video searches, format comparisons, hook writing, and briefs built from videos saved by a team.
It works through MCP and provides six Markdown skills for setup, post ideas, viral video research, hook writing, niche research, and saved-video briefs. The package contains no scripts, hooks, executables, or installed dependencies. The skills provide instructions; the remote server supplies the library.
Connection opens account sign-in through OAuth 2.1, so there is no API key to paste. Tools are read-only. This is an archive of past viral videos rather than a live trend feed, and its scope covers TikTok and Instagram Reels without analytics for your own account.
What it helps with
- find viral videos for a specific niche
- break down hooks and short-video formats
- draft hooks for a product or client
- turn saved team videos into a UGC brief
Example prompts for the agent
- Find viral videos for a fitness client and extract the hook patterns.
- Compare TikTok formats that work for astrology, then suggest content ideas.
- Review our team’s saved videos and create a UGC brief.
