Connect DataLikers to Claude.ai

Overview

This guide walks through adding DataLikers as a remote MCP server inside Claude.ai. Once connected, Claude can answer questions about Instagram profiles, posts, comments, hashtags, locations, and stories using DataLikers data — directly inside the chat, with no copy-paste and no API key handling on your side.

The connection uses OAuth 2.1, so Claude never sees your DataLikers password or API key. You can revoke access at any time from your Connected Apps page.

Before You Start

You will need:

An active DataLikers account (sign up — new accounts include a small starter credit so you can test the connection without depositing first).
A Claude.ai account with access to Connectors (available to Claude Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans, and to free-tier users in supported regions).
A modern browser. The OAuth consent flow opens in a new tab.

Step 1: Open Claude.ai Settings

Sign in at claude.ai.
Click your avatar in the bottom-left corner and choose Settings.
In the left sidebar, click Connectors (sometimes labelled Custom integrations or Tools, depending on the Claude.ai version).

Step 2: Add a Custom Connector

Click Add custom connector (or the + button next to the connector list).
Fill in the form:
- Name: DataLikers (or any label you prefer).
- Server URL: https://mcp.datalikers.com/oauth/
- Leave the OAuth fields blank — Claude.ai will discover them automatically.
Click Add (or Connect).

Claude.ai will fetch our OAuth discovery document at https://datalikers.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server and configure the integration automatically.

Step 3: Authorise the Connection

A new tab will open at datalikers.com/oauth/authorize with a consent screen titled "Claude.ai wants to connect."
The screen shows what Claude can do (read-only mcp:read access to all 29 DataLikers MCP tools), the per-row billing rate, and your current balance.
Verify the redirect destination at the top of the screen is claude.ai. If it shows any other domain, click Deny.
If the destination is correct, click Allow access.

You will be redirected back to Claude.ai. The connector is now listed under Connectors with a green status indicator.

Step 4: Try It Out

Open a new Claude.ai chat and ask any of:

"Find Instagram profiles in Berlin with more than 100k followers in the food category."
"Who are the top hashtags trending in fashion right now?"
"Get the most recent posts from @instagram and summarise the captions."

Claude will pick the appropriate DataLikers MCP tool, call it through the connector, and return the result inline. Each successful tool call deducts from your DataLikers balance at the per-row MCP rate.

Revoking Access

You can revoke the Claude.ai connector from either side:

From DataLikers: open Connected Apps, find Claude.ai in the list, and click Disconnect. The OAuth tokens are revoked immediately, and the gateway stops accepting them within five seconds.
From Claude.ai: open Settings → Connectors, click the three-dot menu next to DataLikers, and choose Remove. Claude.ai will discard its tokens. We recommend also disconnecting from the DataLikers side to ensure full revocation.
