MCP to access the world's largest influencer discovery and enrichment database

Documentation

Influencers Club MCP Server

Beta — This project is under active development. It works and can be tested, but expect changes before the stable release.

MCP server for the Influencers Club API — creator enrichment, discovery, audience analysis, content data, batch operations, and account management.

Two ways to use it:

Best for
Hosted connector on claude.aiNo install — connect once with your Influencers Club account
Local install (stdio)Claude Desktop / Claude Code / IDEs, plus local file tools (CSV export, batch upload)

Use with claude.ai (Hosted Connector)

The hosted server runs at https://mcp-dashboard.influencers.club/mcp and signs you in with OAuth — no API key to copy around.

  1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector (or find Influencers Club in the connectors directory).
  2. Enter the URL: https://mcp-dashboard.influencers.club/mcp
  3. Click Connect — you'll be redirected to the Influencers Club dashboard to sign in and approve access.
  4. Done. Ask Claude things like "Find 5 Instagram creators in fitness with 50k-500k followers."

Requirements: an Influencers Club account with API credits. Discovery and enrichment tools consume credits (costs are listed on every tool and in the tables below); dictionary/lookup tools are free.

Notes:

  • The hosted connector exposes the 19 API tools. File and batch tools (CSV export, bulk CSV enrichment) need a local filesystem and are available only in the local install.
  • Connection expired / 401 errors: disconnect and reconnect the connector to re-authenticate.
  • "Insufficient credits" errors: top up in the dashboard; calls keep failing until the balance is positive.

Local Install (stdio)

Prerequisites

Quick Start (pip)

pip install influencers-club-mcp

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/Influencers-Club/influencers-club-mcp.git
cd influencers-club-mcp
pip install -e .

Then add to your Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "influencers-club": {
      "command": "influencers-club-mcp",
      "env": {
        "INFLUENCERS_CLUB_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop — the server will appear as "influencers-club". That's it.

Where do files go? By default, exported CSVs and uploads are saved to exports/ and imports/ inside the cloned repo folder. No extra configuration needed.

To use a custom location, add these env vars:

"EXPORT_HOST_DIR": "/your/custom/exports",
"IMPORT_HOST_DIR": "/your/custom/imports",
"OUTPUT_DIR": "/your/custom/exports",
"IMPORTS_DIR": "/your/custom/imports"

Claude Code

Add to your project's .mcp.json or global ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "influencers-club": {
      "command": "influencers-club-mcp",
      "env": {
        "INFLUENCERS_CLUB_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code / Cursor

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "servers": {
    "influencers-club": {
      "command": "influencers-club-mcp",
      "env": {
        "INFLUENCERS_CLUB_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Docker (Advanced)

Use Docker if you want filesystem isolation or prefer containerized deployments.

git clone https://github.com/Influencers-Club/influencers-club-mcp.git
cd influencers-club-mcp
docker build -t influencers-club-mcp .

Add to your Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "influencers-club": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run", "-i", "--rm",
        "-p", "127.0.0.1:8090:8090",
        "-e", "INFLUENCERS_CLUB_API_KEY=your_api_key_here",
        "-e", "UPLOAD_PORT=8090",
        "-e", "UPLOAD_BIND=0.0.0.0",
        "-v", "/path/to/exports:/exports",
        "-v", "/path/to/imports:/imports",
        "-e", "EXPORT_HOST_DIR=/path/to/exports",
        "-e", "IMPORT_HOST_DIR=/path/to/imports",
        "influencers-club-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace /path/to/exports and /path/to/imports with actual paths on your machine. The path appears 4 times — update all of them.

Examples by OS:

  • macOS/Linux: /Users/john/influencers-club-mcp/exports
  • Windows: C:\\Users\\John\\Desktop\\influencers-club-mcp\\exports (use double backslashes)

After configuring, restart your client. The server will appear as "influencers-club".

Available Tools (29)

19 API tools are available everywhere (hosted connector and local). Tools marked local only need the local filesystem, so they exist only in stdio installs.

Troubleshooting

  • Hosted connector shows "disconnected" or tools return 401 — remove and re-add the connector (or click Reconnect) to refresh the OAuth session.
  • Errors mentioning credits or limits — check your balance with check_credits or in the dashboard; calls fail until the limit resets or credits are added.
  • Local: server doesn't appear in Claude Desktop — verify the config JSON is valid and restart the app; check that influencers-club-mcp runs from a terminal.
  • Local: upload page unreachable — another process may hold port 8090; set UPLOAD_PORT to a free port.
  • Anything else: open an issue or email gjorgji.p@influencers.club.

Privacy Policy

This MCP server is a thin client between Claude and the Influencers Club API. The sections below describe what the server itself does with your data; the Influencers Club platform's full data practices are governed by the Influencers Club Privacy Policy.

Data we collect. None. The server does not collect, persist, or transmit personally identifiable information about the human using Claude. The only inputs it receives are the tool arguments Claude sends (e.g. a creator handle or a CSV path) and the bearer token used to authenticate against the Influencers Club API.

How data is used. Tool arguments are forwarded directly to the Influencers Club API to fulfill the requested operation (discovery, enrichment, batch processing, etc.). Responses are returned to Claude. The server performs no analytics, profiling, or model training on this data.

Storage. The server keeps no database. The only data written to disk are: (a) CSV exports/imports the user explicitly creates via the file tools, written to local directories the user controls (exports/, imports/, or paths set by EXPORT_HOST_DIR / IMPORT_HOST_DIR); (b) a small .ic_config.json file storing the chosen export path. No conversation content, API responses, or credentials are persisted.

Third-party sharing. The server communicates with exactly one third party: the Influencers Club API. No data is sent to any other endpoint, analytics service, or telemetry provider. The bearer token is transmitted only to the Influencers Club API over HTTPS and is redacted from any error messages returned to Claude.

Retention. The server retains nothing in-process beyond the lifetime of a single tool call, with the exception of the user-controlled CSV files described above, which the user can delete at any time. Bearer tokens are read from environment variables (or, in hosted/HTTP mode, from the authenticated request) and are never written to disk.

Contact. Privacy questions and data-deletion requests: gjorgji.p@influencers.club. Security disclosures may also be filed via GitHub Issues.
