# Social listening in Claude Code

One command adds Buzzsift to Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http buzzsift https://sociallisteningai.com/mcp. Then run /mcp, sign in in the browser, and Claude Code can pull recent TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram and X posts and comments about a brand into your work, for research notes, a landing page's copy or a product spec. 100 points a search.

## Set it up

1. **Add the server**: In a terminal: claude mcp add --transport http buzzsift https://sociallisteningai.com/mcp (add --scope user to have it in every project).
2. **Sign in**: Start Claude Code, run /mcp, pick buzzsift and choose Authenticate. A Buzzsift page opens in your browser: sign in and press Allow.
3. **Use it**: Ask in plain words: "Find what people complain about with Notion's offline mode and write the top 5 into notes/complaints.md with links."

## Good to know

- **No OAuth?**: Scripts and CI can use a private address from your account page instead: it carries the key, so keep it out of git.
- **What comes back**: find_mentions returns up to 150 posts and comments as structured text (platform, likes, date, link), so Claude Code can quote, count or save them.

## Things to ask

- "Search Reddit for complaints about our competitor's onboarding and draft an FAQ that answers them."
- "Pull TikTok comments about the Dyson Airwrap and save them as a CSV."

## Tools

- find_mentions (100 points), run_report (1,000), watch_brand (50 a run with something new), get_report, list_watches, stop_watch, balance (free).
