What is xiaohongshu-mcp
xiaohongshu-mcp is an open-source tool developed based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) protocol, helping users achieve automated operations on the Xiaohongshu platform. It supports multiple functions, including logging into Xiaohongshu, publishing image-text posts, searching content, and getting recommendation lists. Users need to log in manually and save the login state when using it for the first time, after which they can operate Xiaohongshu through simple commands or interfaces. The tool is written in Golang and supports Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Users can run go run . to start the service, connect using an MCP-supported client (such as Claude Code CLI), and easily publish content.xiaohongshu-mcp provides an HTTP JSON-RPC interface, making it convenient to integrate with other systems.
