Find influencers with Claude.
Connect Claude to 340M+ creator profiles with the Influencers.club MCP server. Describe who you need in plain language – Claude searches, vets, and shortlists influencers with verified emails and contact info, right inside the chat.
Claude can’t see creator data. Until you connect it.
Out of the box, Claude has no access to live influencer profiles, follower counts, or creator emails. The Influencers.club MCP server changes that: a Model Context Protocol integration that plugs Claude directly into the world’s largest creator database – 340M+ profiles built from publicly available data across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter/X, and Twitch.
You describe the influencers you need. Claude turns your words into structured searches, runs them against the database, and reasons over the results – filtering, scoring, comparing, and shortlisting in seconds. No dashboards, no exports, no tab-switching.
Describe your ideal influencer. Claude finds them.
“Micro-influencers in US skincare with 4%+ engagement and a verified email.” That’s the whole search. Claude translates your brief into AI search plus 40+ structured filters – location, follower range, engagement, niche, public bio keywords, growth trends – and returns a ranked list.
Then keep refining in conversation: “only ones who posted in the last 30 days,” “drop anyone under 3% engagement,” “now sort by follower growth.” Each follow-up is a new query, not a new tool to learn.
Claude doesn’t just find influencers. It vets them.
Every profile comes back with 200+ data points Claude can reason over: engagement distribution, growth trends, audience demographics and interests, credibility signals, brand collaborations, and posting patterns.
Ask “score these 20 for a skincare launch targeting women 25-34 in the US” and Claude checks each audience against your brief, flags weak fits, and explains its ranking – the analysis that used to take an afternoon of spreadsheet work.
Contact info, lookalikes, and outreach – in the same chat
Once you’ve got a shortlist, Claude keeps going. It pulls each influencer’s verified email and contact info, finds lookalikes of your best performers, reads their recent posts to understand what they care about, and drafts personalized outreach that references their actual content.
Need the list elsewhere? One prompt exports up to 500 influencers to CSV – ready for your CRM, outreach tool, or campaign tracker.

Finding influencers with Claude, answered
Can Claude find influencers on its own?
No – and that’s the point of this page. Claude has no built-in access to live creator data, so on its own it can only guess. Connected to Influencers.club, Claude searches 340M+ real creator profiles in real time: follower counts, engagement rates, audience data, and verified emails, all returned as structured data Claude can reason over.
How do I find influencers with Claude?
The fastest way needs no installation at all:
- In claude.ai, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
- Enter
https://mcp-dashboard.influencers.club/mcpand click Connect. - Sign in with your Influencers.club account, approve access, and start asking: “Find US fitness influencers on Instagram with 50k-500k followers and 3%+ engagement.”
Using Claude Desktop or Claude Code instead? Install the open-source MCP server locally with your API key – config and the one-line command are in the setup section above.
Do I need an API key?
Not in claude.ai – the hosted connector signs you in with your Influencers.club account directly. You only need an API key for local setups: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients. Get one free at dashboard.influencers.club – new accounts include 10 free credits either way.
What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?
MCP is an open standard created by Anthropic that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources through a single protocol. Think of it as USB-C for AI agents: one connection, works with every compatible client. The Influencers.club MCP exposes creator discovery, enrichment, and audience analytics as tools Claude can call.
Which platforms can Claude search for influencers?
Discovery covers Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter/X, and Twitch. Enrichment goes further – resolving any creator into their connected accounts across 47 platforms, so you see their full footprint, not just one channel.
What data does Claude get about each influencer?
Each profile is built from publicly available data and includes up to 200+ data points:
- Followers, engagement rates, and growth trends
- Audience demographics, geography, interests, and credibility
- Email and phone number, where available
- Connected social accounts across 47 platforms
- Recent posts, captions, and content performance
How much does it cost to find influencers with Claude?
The connector and the open-source MCP server are free. Discovery and enrichment consume Influencers.club credits per successful result – the same usage-based pricing as the API – while reference-data and status tools (like checking your credit balance) are free to call. New accounts start with 10 free export credits so you can test real searches first.
Does this work with ChatGPT, Cursor, or other AI tools?
Yes. Influencers.club is an official app on ChatGPT – there’s a dedicated guide: Find influencers with ChatGPT. The same MCP server also works in Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Zed, n8n, Continue, and any other MCP-compatible client – install once, use everywhere. For the full client-by-client setup, see the MCP server docs.
Is my data secure?
In claude.ai, you approve access with your own Influencers.club account before Claude can run a single search – and you can disconnect the connector anytime from Settings. For local setups, the open-source MCP server runs in your environment and talks to the Influencers.club API with your own API key, with the source code public for full review.
How is this better than searching influencers manually?
Manual influencer search means hashtag browsing, profile-by-profile vetting, and spreadsheets of copy-pasted stats – hours per shortlist, with no audience data to back the picks. With Claude connected to Influencers.club, the same shortlist takes one conversation: search, vet against real audience data, find lookalikes, and export – with Claude explaining its reasoning at every step.
Your next influencer shortlist is one prompt away
Add the connector in claude.ai – no install, no API key – and run your first search in under 2 minutes.
