Claude MCP Integration

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with external tools and data sources. With Trigify’s MCP server, you can query and manage your social listening searches directly through Claude.

Use Cases

Sales Teams

“Show me all LinkedIn posts mentioning our competitors this week and summarize the key themes”

Product Managers

“Create a search for feature requests mentioning ‘dark mode’ and analyze the sentiment”

Marketing

“Get the latest results from my brand monitoring search and draft response ideas”

Developers

“List all my active searches and show me the API response format”
