Octolens

Octolens is a social-listening platform. A workspace tracks keywords (phrases like a brand, competitor, or product). A pipeline collects matching posts — mentions — from Reddit, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Bluesky, Hacker News, GitHub, Stack Overflow, dev.to, news, podcasts, and the open web. Every mention is AI-scored for relevance, classified for sentiment, and given topic tags. Users save filter presets as feeds, which can drive Slack / email / webhook notifications.

There are two ways to work with Octolens. Prefer the MCP server — it is self-documenting, handles auth once, and exposes purpose-built tools. Fall back to the REST API v2 for scripting, bulk export, or environments without MCP.

Decision: MCP or REST?

• MCP — interactive agent work, ad-hoc questions, configuring keywords/feeds/alerts. Tools carry their own descriptions; you don't need this skill's endpoint catalog. → Set up MCP
• REST v2 — shell scripts, CI jobs, CSV/JSON export, or any agent without MCP. → REST API v2

If the Octolens MCP tools are already connected (tool names start with octolens / Octolens), just use them — skip setup.

Option A: MCP (preferred)

Install the Octolens MCP server (HTTP transport). For Claude Code:
