Using the Upfluence MCP Server

The Upfluence MCP server is currently in Beta. Access is provided on request, so reach out to our support team if you'd like it enabled for your account.

What is the Upfluence MCP server?

The Upfluence MCP server lets AI assistants such as Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client search and analyze Upfluence influencer data directly from chat. Instead of switching between tools, you can query the influencer database, pull profiles, and review audience insights right inside your AI assistant.

Uses-cases

Discovery & search

  • "Find food and travel creators in Italy with an engaged audience over 50k followers", surface a shortlist without opening the platform.

  • Quickly check whether a creator is already in the Upfluence database before reaching out.

Profile deep-dives

  • Pull a full profile from a handle or URL you already have, e.g. paste an Instagram link and get the creator's stats back instantly.

  • Look up a specific influencer by ID to refresh their metrics before a pitch or report.

Audience validation

  • Check a creator's audience demographics (age, gender, location, etc.) to confirm they match a campaign's target before adding them to a list.

  • Compare the audience makeup of several creators side by side to pick the best fit.

Brand-fit & competitive checks

  • See which brands a creator has already mentioned, to spot potential conflicts of interest or, conversely, an existing affinity with your brand.

  • Vet a creator for authenticity by reviewing their past brand collaborations.
