// Then just ask Claude:
// "What's trending on TikTok right now?"
// "Look up @charlidamelio's engagement rate"
// "Find skincare videos with 100K+ views"The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources. Instead of copy-pasting data into prompts, your AI can call Virlo directly — searching trends, looking up creators, and analyzing videos in real time.
Add a JSON config, restart your app. That's it. No SDK, no API calls, no webhooks.
Ask "what's trending in skincare?" and your AI picks the right Virlo tool automatically.
All 49 Virlo tools available. Same data as the REST API, but your AI reasons over it for you.
Trend analytics, content research agents, creator & sound intelligence, audience demographics, and long-term tracking. All accessible through natural language.
Trends & hashtags
Trending topics, momentum-ranked emerging trends, hashtag rankings, and daily video digests across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. Reads are instant.
One-shot & recurring
Research any niche — one-shot or on a schedule. Videos, Meta ads, rising creators, AI analysis, and trends. Draft keywords with suggest_keywords (free), then create with an intent.
Creator, video & sound intel
Drop in a handle, video, sound, or hashtag. Get full profiles, analytics, AI category, outlier detection, and audience enrichment. Batch up to 25 creators.
Long-term monitoring
Watch any creator or video over time. Each cycle stores a metric snapshot and ships an AI report on what changed — plus posting cadence and per-post metrics.
Demographics & geography
Age, gender, language, and top countries/cities for a creator’s engaged audience (commenters, not raw followers). Cache-first — charged only on a miss.
Audio intelligence
Trending and breakout audio, fuzzy title search, adoption velocity, usage history, and a creator’s full sound catalog across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
Jobs & account
Poll any async job (agents, Satellite, batch, post collect) and check your remaining balance and per-tool credit pricing. Always free.
Pick your client, paste the config, restart. Virlo’s 49 tools are instantly available to your AI assistant.
