Use okdata in Trae: real social data while the agent codes

Connect it

1. Open the place MCP servers are added. Settings (设置) → MCP → Add (添加) → Create Manually (手动添加), paste the JSON, then Confirm (确认). In the Agent window, pick Local or Cloud first.
2. Paste the configuration. Replace the key placeholder with your own key.

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "okdata": {
         "url": "https://api.okdata.online/mcp",
         "headers": {
           "Authorization": "Bearer okd_…"
         }
       }
     }
   }

3. Ask it to list the tools. The reply should match the one below.

Check it works

“List the okdata tools.”

okdata is connected with 5 tools: find describe the data you need in words; get up to five capabilities with what they need, the price and a ready call. It never offers another platform in place of the one asked for; describe read the full contract of one to five capabilities: parameters, links taken, price and the most a call can cost, paging, fields and an example item; call fetch one page of data as text: the first lines say what it cost, the balance left and how to get the next page. Failed calls are free; max_price caps a call; read_more read the rest of an answer that was cut at about 20 KB, or the same result in another view, for 24 hours; account balance and the key’s spending limits, a receipt for one call, usage by day or capability; which capabilities are up, even without a key. Only call costs money. The catalog has 214 endpoints on 17 platforms.

None of this costs anything.

A first conversation

“What is on Weibo hot search right now?”

2 tool calls · 1 charged · $0.002

Then try: “Use okdata to list the top ten trends on X in Japan.”

Tips for Trae

• Let the free tools run without asking. Allow find, describe and account; keep call on “ask” if you want to approve every charge.
• Ask for the cost first. “Tell me what this will cost before you call anything” works in every client.
• Give each client its own key. Create one per app in the console; revoking it then touches nothing else.
• Retries are safe. A resent call with the same idempotency_key is never charged twice, and failed calls are free.

What to know about Trae

• A server added under Local works in local and worktree tasks only; one added under Cloud works in cloud tasks only.
• Trae reads timeouts for remote servers from the headers: add "RUN_MCP_TIMEOUT_MS": "60000" next to Authorization if long searches time out.
• A project file .trae/mcp.json works too, once project-level MCP (项目级 MCP) is turned on. Never commit it with a key in it.
