Weibo

Weibo MCP server

Connect Weibo to your AI tools. Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients can find the endpoint and pull posts, comments, user profiles, keyword search and the hot search list for you. 7 live endpoints, added with one command.

A new account gets 50 trial calls; after that, successful calls are billed from a prepaid balance. See pricing.

Add Weibo with one command

Qovia is also an MCP server. Run this in Claude Code. Finding and reading endpoints needs no key; to call them, set up your API key as in the MCP docs. Cursor and VS Code setups are there too.

FAQ

How do I add the Weibo MCP server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add --transport http qovia https://api.qovia.ai/mcp. Finding and reading endpoints needs no key; to call one, add your API key as an Authorization: Bearer header in the MCP config (see the MCP docs). A new account gets 50 trial calls.

What can an AI do with the Weibo MCP server?

It exposes four tools: search_endpoints, get_endpoint, call_endpoint and get_account. The AI searches for "weibo" with search_endpoints, picks from the 7 endpoints, and pulls posts, comments, user profiles, keyword search and the hot search list with call_endpoint. Calls are billed exactly like the HTTP API.

Does Weibo have an official data API?

Weibo's open platform needs a registered app and user authorization, and public data such as keyword search across Weibo or the comments on any post is generally out of reach for ordinary developers. Qovia serves that public data through one API key.

What Weibo data can I get?

Single posts (full text, author, like/comment/repost counts, views and video plays where Weibo shows them, topics, images, publish time and IP location), comments and replies, user profiles and their posts, keyword search (with a date range and filters such as hot, original or verified users) and the hot search list.

How much can Weibo search return?

Up to about 20 posts a page, up to 50 pages. Text in search results can be truncated and carries no engagement counts; for the full text and like, comment and repost counts, call the post endpoint with the post's ID.

Do I need a Weibo account or cookies?

No. All you need is a Qovia API key: no accounts, cookies, proxies or request signing to maintain.

How is it billed?

Prepaid and per call: only successful calls that return data are charged, and empty results, errors and timeouts are not. Every response says what it cost (meta.charged_usd). Each endpoint's price is in the API reference.

What should I keep in mind when using the data?

Qovia provides a data API service and claims no ownership of the underlying content. Use the data under applicable law and Weibo's platform rules; see our terms of service.

Your agent only knows what you give it

Give it Douyin, Xiaohongshu (RedNote), WeChat and product reviews: structured, per call, nothing charged for failures.
