Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote Apify MCP server that lets an assistant collect Weibo hot searches, keyword posts, comments and creator profiles as structured JSON without logging in.

What you can do: Search Weibo posts by one or more keywords, with engagement counts, topics and author details per post line by line as rows of data. Retrieve hot searches with rank and heat, plus the popular feed by category. Pull top comments and some replies from a given post. Look up creator profiles and optionally their latest posts. Output rows can be downloaded as JSON, CSV or Excel.
When to use it: Useful for China-focused social listening, brand monitoring, daily hot-search tracking for news or market research, and collecting comments for sentiment analysis, when you want Weibo data without an account or cookies.
Requirements: A remote MCP endpoint at mcp.apify.com, added with the tool selector for this scraper. An Apify account connected via OAuth on first use. Runs in Apify's cloud; no local runtime, proxy or code needed.

Before you install

Usage is billed at $1 per 1,000 rows with no monthly fee; the free plan includes $5 of monthly usage. Requests are sent to Apify's cloud service, which performs the scraping on your behalf. Data is public Weibo content collected without login.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Weibo: Posts, Hot Searches, Comments & Creators (微博) in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.serenido%2Fweibo/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.
