Context to know first

What is Meltwater MCP?

Meltwater MCP connects your Meltwater account to AI assistants so you can list saved searches, estimate mention volume, and pull earned-media analytics from chat — read-only, using your Meltwater API token.

How is this different from Meltwater's hosted MCP listing?

Meltwater also offers a hosted MCP server. On MCPBundles that listing (meltwater-mcp) is kept for discovery, but sign-in through MCPBundles is not available yet. This integration works today: paste your Meltwater API token and use the tools below in Cursor, Claude, or any MCP client.

How do I connect?

Copy your Meltwater API token from the Developer Portal, paste it into MCPBundles when you connect this integration, and enable the bundle in your workspace. The token is sent as the apikey header on each request.

Meltwater

Meltwater is media intelligence and social listening: monitor earned mentions, manage saved searches, run analytics breakdowns, tag documents, schedule exports, register streaming hooks, and read owned-channel social metrics over the v3 REST API.

Operational order

  1. Account scope — When the credential spans multiple companies, list companies and workspaces first; pass company_id on downstream calls that require it.
  2. Saved searches — List or fetch saved searches to obtain search_id and query text. Create or update with search_json (omit search_id for create, include it for update). Delete removes the saved search.
  3. Mention volume — Count mentions for a search with optional start_date / end_date (ISO 8601).
  4. Analytics — Pre-built breakdowns (sources, tags, locations, entities, topics, keyphrases, top mentions, shared links, and related views) need search_id, window start / end, and tz. For ad-hoc analysis, read the custom analytics catalog first, then submit a custom analytics job with analytics_json.
  5. Tags — List tag definitions; create and delete tags. Bulk add or remove tags on documents is async (up to 100 document ids per call) via document_ids and tags_json.
  6. Exports — Start one-time or recurring mention exports, poll until status is finished, then download (large files may return a spillover download link). Delete export jobs when done.
  7. Hooks — List REST hooks, create with a target URL (response header X-Hook-Secret is the signing secret for inbound payloads), delete to stop delivery.
  8. Owned social — List connected owned accounts, read supported metric definitions, then query breakdown, heatmap, numeric metrics, or top posts for selected accounts.

Write payloads

  • search_json{"search": {"name": "…", "query": {…}}} with query type boolean, keyword, or combined per Meltwater docs.
  • analytics_json — Full POST body for custom analytics (time window plus analysis or analytic shape per catalog).
  • tags_json — JSON array such as [{"id": 123}, {"name": "priority"}].

Filter sets

Saved searches can reference filter sets; optional QUICKPICK sets are available when listing filter sets for a search.

Gotchas

  • Search and query objects are strict — invalid boolean or keyword fields often return HTTP 422.
  • Export jobs and bulk document tag changes are asynchronous — poll export status; tag add/remove returns 202 Accepted.
  • Hook signing secret is returned only on create — retain it to verify inbound webhook payloads.
  • Export data_url links expire — request download on poll when the job is ready so large exports surface as spillover links.
  • Check API usage for the billing period before sweeping many searches or wide date windows.
