Boring Social Analytics

Track social media performance and analytics across platforms using Boring. Use when the user says 'show my analytics', 'check social media performance', 'how are my posts doing', 'engagement report', 'post metrics', 'view stats', or wants to see performance data for Facebook, Instagram, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok accounts.

Track performance and engagement across all your social media platforms. Powered by Boring.

Security & Data Handling

• MCP link is a credential: Your MCP Server URL contains an embedded authentication token. Treat it like a password — do not share it publicly. Regenerate anytime in Settings.
• Data flow: Analytics queries are sent from Boring's server to social media platform APIs (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, YouTube, TikTok) on your behalf. Only performance metrics are retrieved — no content is uploaded.
• No local credentials: No local API keys or environment variables needed. All auth is embedded in the MCP link.

Prerequisites

1. Sign up at boring.aiagent-me.com with Google
2. Connect accounts — supports Facebook, Instagram, Threads, YouTube, TikTok
3. Get your MCP link: Go to Settings → copy your MCP Server URL (contains your auth token — treat it like a password)
4. Add to Claude: Paste the MCP link as a Connector — no install, no API key needed
