IQFluence MCP is a remote Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants access to IQFluence influencer data: 455M+ Instagram, TikTok and YouTube creators. From Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and other MCP clients you can find creators, open audience reports with fake-follower checks, compare creators, check audience overlap, build media plans, read posts and comments, and see Campaign Monitoring results. The assistant works on behalf of your IQFluence account through OAuth and spends MCP credits, a balance separate from your website and API credits. The first 3 results of every search are free.

Other clients
Every client uses the same server URL and browser sign-in (OAuth); only the place where you enter the URL differs.
Cursor
Add the following configuration to ~/.cursor/mcp.json or .cursor/mcp.json.
{
"mcpServers": {
"iqfluence": {
"url": "https://mcp.iqfluence.io/mcp"
}
}
}VS Code (Copilot)
Open the Command Palette → MCP: Add Server → HTTP, or add the following configuration to .vscode/mcp.json.
{
"servers": {
"iqfluence": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.iqfluence.io/mcp"

Data and privacy
What the server receives. Only what your assistant sends when it calls a tool: the tool name and its arguments, such as search filters, creator usernames or profile links, hashtags, post links or a campaign ID. IQFluence does not receive your conversation, other messages or files; the assistant decides what goes into each call. When you connect, the assistant also registers its app name (for example “Claude”), which you see in the “MCP · Claude” key.
What is stored and for how long.
Paid requests (searches, unlocks, reports, contacts, overlaps, posts) are saved to your account's request history with their parameters, cost and time, the same way as website and API requests. We keep this history for billing, accounting and support.
Technical logs record each call's tool name, status, duration and assistant app; our internal API logs also record request addresses with their parameters. Technical logs are kept for up to 14 days.
Sign-in tokens are stored only as hashes. An access token is valid for 1 hour, a refresh token for 90 days.
Page cursors for posts and comments are kept for 24 hours.
Who else receives data.
Tool calls are processed on IQFluence infrastructure. We don't send them to AI models, don't use them to train models and don't share them with third parties for their own purposes.
Tool results go back to your assistant, so the company behind it (Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor and others) processes them under its own terms.
Cards in the chat load creator photos from IQFluence's image service and, for YouTube creators, from YouTube's image servers.
Plans and top-ups are paid on the IQFluence website through Stripe; the assistant never sees payment details.
Where the data is hosted. The MCP server and its databases run in data centers in Germany (EU).
Revoking access and deleting data. Delete the “MCP · …” key in Profile → API keys: the assistant loses access at once and its sign-in tokens are deleted. To delete your account and its data, email legal@iqfluence.io from your account email.
IQFluence is operated by Ritmos Austeros – Unipessoal LDA, Lisbon, Portugal, and complies with GDPR. See the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Limit or turn off access
After you connect, Profile → API keys shows a key named “MCP · assistant name”, for example “MCP · Claude”. It works only through the assistant. There you can set a daily credit limit for that assistant or delete the key to revoke access at once. Ask the assistant “how much have I spent today” to see this connection's spend and limit.
Troubleshooting
- The assistant doesn't use IQFluence. Check that the connector is enabled in this chat, or say “using IQFluence…”. In ChatGPT, select
@IQFluence. - “Data is being collected, ETA ~N min”. A fresh report is being prepared; no credits were charged. Try again later.
- The overlap wasn't calculated. One of the creators has no audience data; no credits were charged.
- “Your account changed”. You signed in or out of IQFluence during the connection. Start connecting again from the assistant.
- The assistant stopped working with IQFluence. The “MCP · …” key may have been deleted. Connect again.
- Credits ran out or access is paused. The assistant gives a link to the MCP page to buy a plan, top up or update the payment method.
