Facebook MCP Server
Give Claude or ChatGPT access to public Facebook posts: text, video, images and a Whisper transcript. One URL, no API key, no Facebook login.
Server URL: https://shortformkit.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication). Add it as a custom connector in Claude or ChatGPT, or in Cursor, VS Code or Claude Code. It works with public videos and Reels on Facebook: read them, save the media and transcribe the speech.
What your assistant can do with Facebook
- Read a post (
get_video_info): author, caption or text, duration and available video qualities. - Save the media (
download_media): the video as MP4, its audio as MP3, the image or a single frame at a timestamp. The link is valid for 15 minutes. - Transcribe the video (
transcribe_video): Whisper transcript with timestamps in 90+ languages, optional English translation. - Check upload specs (
social_video_specs): Facebook video sizes, lengths and caption limits for 2026, with sources.
Prompts that work
- «Transcribe the video in this Facebook post and summarise it in three bullets: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=...»
- «Save the video of this post as MP4.»
- «What size and length should a video for Facebook have in 2026?»
Add it
Claude: Customize, Connectors, + Add, Add custom connector, paste https://shortformkit.com/mcp. ChatGPT: where your plan offers custom connectors (developer mode), add the same URL. Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http shortformkit https://shortformkit.com/mcp. Cursor or VS Code: the buttons above, or { "url": "https://shortformkit.com/mcp" } in your MCP config.
What it does not do
It only sees public posts, the same as anyone without logging in. It does not post, reply, search, read your feed, DMs or analytics; for that you need Meta's Graph API with your own account. The same features without an assistant: Facebook downloader. All tools and platforms: Shortform Kit MCP server.
