VIRALHUNT + CURSOR
Use ViralHunt inside Cursor
Cursor runs MCP servers, so the same 32 tools Claude gets appear in the agent panel. Add the skill as a rule and the agent also knows the method.
Create a free account and your API key
The Free plan never expires and never asks for a card. Inside the app: Account, then API Access, then New token. It starts with vhk_ and you paste it once.
Create free accountAdd the MCP server
Cursor Settings, then MCP, then Add new global MCP server; or write this into .cursor/mcp.json in your project. Node 18 or newer must be installed.

}Give the agent the method (optional)
Save SKILL.md as .cursor/rules/viralhunt.mdc. It tells the agent to leave drafts instead of publishing, to review with a source, and which template fits which post.
Open SKILL.mdThen just ask
Three things people ask in the first ten minutes, and what comes back. Every answer comes from posts we measured, with links, never from what the model remembers.
“What is rising in my niche on TikTok today, and which of it is still climbing?”
The posts that gained the most in the last day, each with its author, its numbers and a link. On the Free plan the posts are 72 hours old and later and the numbers are withheld.
“When should I post on Instagram this week, and with which hashtags?”
The best hours per weekday measured from the posts that went viral, and the hashtags ranked by the engagement of the posts that used them.
“Turn the top three posts of that page into drafts on my brand template for tomorrow.”
On a paid plan: the agent verifies the source, rewrites for your brand, fills the template and leaves the drafts waiting for your approval. Nothing goes out until you say so.
What the free key can do
Enough to see it work on your own niche. The paid plans lift the limits and add publishing, drafts and templates.
