What It Does

Octolens is one API for every brand mention across the internet — and this MCP server puts it directly into your AI agent's hands.

Coverage spans 15+ platforms: Reddit, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Hacker News, YouTube, Bluesky, GitHub, Stack Overflow, dev communities, podcasts, newsletters, news, Product Hunt, Medium, and TikTok.

Every mention is AI-filtered for relevance and scored for sentiment before it reaches your agent. Companies like Vercel, PostHog, and Prisma use Octolens to catch conversations across the web.

The MCP server enables: - Support agents that know what users complain about in real time - Research agents with real voice-of-customer data for product decisions - Marketing agents that pull social proof on demand without manual searching - SQL queries over your entire mention history — no dashboard, no CSV export

Setup

Prerequisites

  • An Octolens account at octolens.com
  • One or more brand monitoring topics configured in your Octolens dashboard

MCP Client Configuration

Add this to your MCP client's server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-server": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.octolens.com/api/mcp/v2"
    }
  }
}

For Claude Code:

claude mcp add octolens https://app.octolens.com/api/mcp/v2

OAuth Flow

On first connection, your MCP client opens a browser window for OAuth authorization. Once authorized, credentials are reused for future sessions. No API key management required.

Use Cases for Business Operators

  • Brand monitoring: "What did people say about us on Hacker News this week?"
  • Competitive intelligence: "Summarize competitor mentions on Reddit from the last 30 days"
  • Customer support triage: "Are there any unresolved complaints about our API on Stack Overflow?"
  • Content sourcing: "Pull the top 5 positive testimonials from LinkedIn for our case studies page"
  • Trend detection: "What topics are trending in our community across platforms?"
  • SQL-powered analytics: Run complex queries over months of mention data — filter by platform, sentiment, date range, keyword

Operator Relevance ★★★

Octolens MCP is directly relevant to CorpusIQ's target audience of business operators and marketers. Brand monitoring is a core operational need, and Octolens is the first MCP-native solution that makes social listening conversational rather than dashboard-driven. Instead of logging into yet another SaaS tool, operators can ask their AI assistant directly and get structured, filtered results.

For marketing operators: social proof, competitor tracking, content sourcing.
For product operators: voice-of-customer, feature request tracking, community health.
For support operators: issue detection, sentiment trends, platform-specific monitoring.
