What an agent can do through this MCP server

These are the tools this server exposes (they drive the full discover → publish → verify → correct loop):

Guardrails baked in: it won't post to the wrong brand, only schedules in the future, and is told not to repost fake news / copyrighted media / spam.

What ViralHunt the platform does (beyond this MCP)

ViralHunt is a full product; the tools above are the agent-drivable slice. The rest lives in the app (and some via the REST API):

• Trending Radar — a live cross-network feed of viral content by niche and time window.
• Cross-network publishing & scheduling — schedule/publish to up to 11 networks (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Telegram, Google Business), per brand.
• Editorial Board (team) — a kanban to curate before publishing: columns, categories, assignments, comments and team chat, so a team manages what goes out. (Cards/columns/comments are in the REST API.)
• Auto-DM (comment → DM automation) — when someone comments your keyword on Instagram, ViralHunt auto-replies and sends them a DM — like ManyChat, but flat pricing, unlimited contacts, and a monthly cap that resets. Configured in the app (runs via webhooks); Facebook next.
• Reports — what each brand/network actually did: posts, reach, DMs sent, replies, top content.

Note: Auto-DM and the editorial board are product features, not tools this MCP exposes today. This server focuses on the discover → publish → manage loop.
