Hooklayer — viral-content intelligence for AI agents
One-line MCP connector for the hosted Hooklayer server. Gives Claude Desktop, Cursor, n8n, or any MCP client 7 read-only tools for short-form video intelligence: hook scoring, virality prediction, viral template search, trend pulse, TikTok creator analysis, voice matching, and viral remixing.
Install
Add to your MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"hooklayer": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "hooklayer"]
}
}
}That's it. On first run your browser opens Hooklayer's OAuth flow — sign in and you're connected (free tier: 100 credits, no card).
Prefer an API key? Get a free hl_live_... key at hooklayer.dev/auth/signup and set it as an env var:
{
"mcpServers": {
"hooklayer": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "hooklayer"],
"env": { "HOOKLAYER_API_KEY": "hl_live_..." }
}
}
}Clients with native remote MCP support (Claude.ai connectors, Cursor) can skip this package and connect directly to https://hooklayer.dev/api/mcp.
