How to Set Up and Use UnifAPI

UnifAPI is a unified API platform for AI agents that aggregates 400+ public data sources — including web search, social media (Instagram, Reddit, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube), news, SEO audits, and competitive intelligence — behind a single MCP endpoint. Instead of juggling dozens of API keys and integrations, agents authenticate once via OAuth and gain read-only access to live public data across all supported platforms.

Prerequisites

  • A UnifAPI account (sign up at unifapi.com; new workspaces receive free trial credits)
  • Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, or another MCP-compatible agent client
  • Internet access to reach https://mcp.unifapi.com
  • No platform-specific API keys required — UnifAPI handles all upstream authentication
1

Add UnifAPI to Claude Code via plugin marketplace

The quickest path for Claude Code users is the plugin marketplace command.

/plugin marketplace add unifapi-agent/agents
/plugin install unifapi@unifapi
2

Authenticate with your UnifAPI account

On first use, the agent will open an OAuth flow. Complete the browser login to link your UnifAPI workspace.

3

Configure manually for Codex (alternative)

For Codex CLI, add the MCP server URL to ~/.codex/config.toml, then authenticate.

[mcp_servers.unifapi]
url = "https://mcp.unifapi.com"
4

Authenticate in Codex

After adding the config entry, run the login command to complete OAuth.

codex mcp login unifapi
5

Configure for Claude Desktop (HTTP MCP)

Add the hosted MCP URL directly in your Claude Desktop or Cursor MCP config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unifapi": {
      "url": "https://mcp.unifapi.com"
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting UnifAPI

OAuth login loop or token not saved

Ensure your browser is not blocking pop-ups from unifapi.com. After completing the OAuth flow, the token is stored in your workspace; restarting the agent client should pick it up automatically.

Trial credits exhausted and requests fail

Check your workspace credit balance at unifapi.com. Upgrade to a paid plan or reduce request frequency. UnifAPI's tools are read-only so there is no risk of accidental writes consuming credits.

Plugin install command not recognized in Claude Code

Make sure you are running a recent version of Claude Code that supports the /plugin command. Alternatively use the direct HTTP config approach with the mcp.unifapi.com URL.
