Chinese Social Signals MCP

One MCP connection that gives your AI agent China's social pulse. Trends, hot-search, viral content and audience sentiment from Douyin, Weibo, Xiaohongshu/RedNote, Zhihu, Bilibili, Kuaishou, Douban and Toutiao — platforms Western agents can't read or reach. Connect from Claude, Cursor, n8n or any MCP client and your agent can answer "what's trending / what are people saying in China" with live data.

📊 Sample Output

This actor runs as a standby MCP server: it starts, answers tool calls at its /mcp endpoint and writes no dataset rows, so there is no row table to show. See the tool list and the sample inputs below.

🔧 Input reference

Field	Type	Default	What it does
enableServer	boolean	true	Enable MCP server mode (required for MCP usage)

💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.005	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Product scraped (apify-default-dataset-item)	$0.05	Single product in the default dataset.

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.05 = $5.00 plus the start fee.

Why it's differentiated

Chinese social platforms are a hard wall for Western AI agents — closed apps, anti-bot, no English. This server fills that gap with live trend/sentiment data, behind a barrier generic scrapers can't cross. Part of the NexGenData China suite (pairs with the China Market Intelligence MCP).
