Multi Platform Social Posts and Comments

Multi Platform Social Posts and Comments MCP Server

An MCP server for the Mamba Labs Multi Platform Social Posts and Comments actor on Apify. Public posts and comments from 6 platforms, in one row layout.

Note to current users, 13 November 2026

Reddit changed how its data can be reached: it closed logged-out search about 5 November 2026 and ended its RSS feeds on 13 November 2026. We rebuilt the actor so it keeps returning Reddit data. It now reads the Arctic Shift archive of Reddit posts, lets you choose the route with reddit_route, and switches to the other route when the first one fails. Add your own Serper or Brave search key to search all of Reddit by keyword. A blocked run charges only the start fee. Your saved inputs and tasks keep working. Prices do not change.

What it does

Give keywords or post addresses. The actor reads public posts and their comments from Bluesky, Hacker News, Mastodon, Lemmy, Reddit, and YouTube, with no login, and returns one row layout for all of them. Reddit is read from the Arctic Shift archive for the subreddits you name, or across all of Reddit with your own Serper or Brave key. A free status row per query and platform says what each returned or why it was blocked. Instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn are not covered.

All of the work runs on Apify. This package is a thin client that starts the actor run, waits for it, and hands back the dataset rows.

Quick start

You need Node.js 18 or newer and an Apify account with an API token.

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, or any MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mamba-multi-platform-social-posts-comments": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mambalabsdev/mcp-multi-platform-social-posts-comments"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart the client. The get_social_posts_comments tool appears.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or newer.
• An Apify API token from console.apify.com/account/integrations, set as APIFY_TOKEN. The server lists its tool without a token; a call needs one.

Example prompts

• "What are people saying about CRM migrations on Hacker News and Bluesky?"
• "Collect the comments on these post addresses into one table."
• "Find recent public posts about cold email deliverability since October."

Tool

get_social_posts_comments. One tool. Example arguments:

{
  "queries": [
    "crm"
  ],
  "platforms": [
    "bluesky",
    "hackernews",
    "lemmy"
  ],
  "max_posts_per_platform": 3,
  "max_comments_per_post": 2
}

Inputs

Every buyer facing input of the actor. Omitted inputs take the actor's own defaults.

Input	Type	Required	Description
queries	array	no	Keywords to search on each platform, up to 20. Mastodon reads a query as a hashtag, so crm tools becomes #crmtools.
post_urls	array	no	Addresses of posts to read comments from, such as your own posts, up to 100. Bluesky, Hacker News, Mastodon, Lemmy, Reddit, and YouTube.
platforms	array	no	Any of bluesky, hackernews, mastodon, lemmy, reddit, youtube. Default all 6. Used for queries; a post address picks its own platform.
max_posts_per_platform	number	no	Up to 500. Default 25. YouTube returns its first results page, about 20 videos.
include_comments	boolean	no	yes or no. Default yes. Each comment is a charged row.
max_comments_per_post	number	no	Up to 200. Default 20. YouTube returns its first comment page, about 20.
since_date	string	no	Only posts from this date, such as 2026-10-01. YouTube gives relative dates only, so YouTube rows are not filtered.
mastodon_instance	string	no	Host name to read hashtags from. Default mastodon.social.
lemmy_instance	string	no	Host name to search. Default lemmy.world.
reddit_subreddits	array	no	Subreddits to search for each query on Reddit, such as sales or r/sales, up to 10. Without your own search key, Reddit is searched through the Arctic Shift archive, which needs a subreddit. Leave empty to search all of Reddit with search_api_key.
reddit_route	string	no	arctic_shift (default): the Arctic Shift archive, free, needs reddit_subreddits. search_key: your own Serper or Brave key, searches all of Reddit. both: both, deduped. When the chosen route fails or cannot run, the actor uses the other one if it can and says so in route_note.
search_provider	string	no	serper or brave, the provider of search_api_key. Default serper.
search_api_key	string	no	Optional. Your own Serper or Brave Search key, used only to find Reddit posts across all of Reddit. Sent only to that provider, never logged or written to a row.
max_charge_usd	string	no	Optional. The run stops before a charge that would pass this amount. Summary rows are always returned.
