I built an app to 4k revenue, but waste hours per week finding viral hooks.

Summary

A solo builder of the app Magnetic is developing SearchTok, an MCP connector that gives Claude and ChatGPT access to TikTok post metrics and account snapshots for viral hook research, since AI models currently can't see TikTok or Instagram data.

Some background. Four months ago I launched an app called Magnetic and marketed it with shorts on Instagram. One format took off: 3 million views in June, and 200 downloads on my best day. But after just 2 weeks the format stopped working, and I am now averaging 10 downloads per day (down 90%). So I went looking for the next format by hand. Hours of scrolling, trying to guess why one video blew up and the next ten didn't. I looked for accounts with low follower counts but massive outliers. I tried using Claude to generate new hooks but it was so bad, they were very unnatural or just cringe. The annoying part is that if Claude had access to TikTok, its the kind of job Claude is good at. Give it a list of videos with their metrics, and it will find the pattern faster than I can. The only reason I was doing it by hand is that Claude can't see TikTok or Instagram. So I'm building the missing piece. It's an MCP connector called SearchTok. You add it to Claude or ChatGPT and ask things like: - "What's working in the public speaking niche on TikTok this week?" - "Which posts on this account are outliers?" - "What changed on the accounts I track since last week?" It fetches the real posts and numbers and keeps a daily snapshot of the accounts you follow. Claude does all the thinking. The connector only fetches and remembers. Two things I'd like to know from people here: Would you use this as a connector in the Claude app, or from Claude Code? What would you ask it first?
