Wire Claude to viral content from your niche.

By 7am every morning, Claude pulls the rising creators in your market, breaks down the hooks they're using, and dumps the viral formats that are spiking into a report on your desk.


Step 1 — Get your API key

Sign up at dev.virlo.ai and generate a virlo_tkn_ API key. Pay-as-you-go, $10 minimum to start.

Get your API key


Step 2 — Paste this into Claude

Open Claude. Start a fresh conversation. Paste:

I want to wire up the Virlo MCP server so I can pull viral TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts content directly into this conversation.

The server URL is: <https://dev.virlo.ai/api/mcp/mcp>

Ask me which Claude client I'm using (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or other), then show me exactly where to paste my virlo_tkn_ API key for that client. After I restart, help me test the connection by asking what's trending in my niche.

Start.

Claude handles the rest.


Step 3 — Tell Claude your niche

Once the MCP is live, paste:

Set up a Custom Niche for me via the Virlo MCP.

Niche name: [YOUR NICHE]
Keywords: [5-10 keywords your audience searches]
Competitor handles: [5-10 creators in your space across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube]

Track all three platforms.

Claude creates it. The data starts flowing.


Step 4 — Train Claude

Paste this:

You are my social media brain.

Every morning, use the Virlo MCP to pull the top viral videos from my Custom Niche "[NICHE NAME]". Focus on:
- Outlier videos blowing up relative to the creator's average
- Posted in the last 48 hours
- Across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts

For each of the top 3 viral videos, give me:
1. The creator handle + platform + view count
2. The hook the first 3 seconds make
3. The viral format that's spiking (POV, listicle, transformation, before/after, callout, etc.)
4. One script angle I could ship this week using the same mechanic

Rank top 3. Don't pad.
