# Is there an MCP server for WeChat Official Account articles?

> Let Claude, Cursor or any MCP agent find WeChat Official Accounts, list their article history and read full text, with no WeChat login or QR scan. Setup and costs.

**Short answer: **Yes: the okdata MCP server gives an agent WeChat Official Account search, article history and article full text alongside the other platforms, with no QR login. Reading one article costs $0.02, a page of 10 titles from an account's history $0.04, and account search $0.058 per account it returns.

A strategy lead asks Claude every Monday: "What did 36氪, 虎嗅 and 晚点 publish last week about AI hardware? Three bullets each, with links." Claude cannot open WeChat articles on its own; WeChat answers most automated visits with a verification page. Single-article readers help when you already have a link, but this question starts from account names. The okdata MCP server covers the whole path: find the account, list what it published, read the articles that matter.

## How the agent works through it

1. **Find the account** with [Official Account search](/apis/wechat_mp/accounts/search/). It returns each account's original ID (gh_…). This step is charged per account returned, up to $0.58 a call, so tell the agent to search the exact account name, or skip it entirely by giving the agent the gh_ ID or WeChat ID yourself.
2. **List the history** with [article history](/apis/wechat_mp/accounts/articles/list/): about 10 articles per call, newest first, with titles, links and publish times. Titles are usually enough to decide what to read.
3. **Read the articles** that match with [article detail](/apis/wechat_mp/articles/get/), which returns the body as plain text with the account and publish time.

## Setup

Claude Code reads `.mcp.json`; other clients are on the [MCP page](/mcp/).

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "okdata": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.okdata.online/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${OKDATA_API_KEY}" }
    }
  }
}
```

To test outside the agent, list an account's latest articles by its original ID:

```bash
curl -G "https://api.okdata.online/v1/wechat_mp/accounts/articles/list" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OKDATA_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "id=gh_363b924965e9"
```

## The Monday digest, priced

| Step | Calls | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| History of 3 accounts, 1 page each | 3 | $0.12 |
| Full text of the 12 relevant articles | 12 | $0.24 |
| Weekly total | 15 | $0.36 |
| One-time account search, if you only know the names | 3 searches | up to $1.74 |

## Limits

- Article text comes back as plain text. Images and charts inside the article are not included.
- Reads and likes are filled where WeChat shows them and null otherwise, with the reason in `meta.unavailable`.
- Deleted or removed articles return `not_found` and cost nothing.
- Public articles only. Nothing from inside your own WeChat account is read.

## Other ways to do it

If you just want an AI to read one article you were sent, pasting the text is free and works everywhere. Free self-hosted feeds such as wewe-rss turn accounts into RSS, which any RSS-capable agent can read, though they rely on a WeChat Reading login that needs renewing. For your own Official Account, WeChat's official API returns your published articles directly. Ongoing account tracking is covered on the [competitor monitoring page](/solutions/competitor-monitoring/).
