SparkToro

Official MCP Paid, self-serve Community & Dark Social RESEARCHED Checked 2026-08-24
RESEARCHED Facts from public sources with URLs. No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 1.

Vendor: https://sparktoro.com · entry id 15-sparktoro · source 15-community-dark-social.md line 64

What it does
Audience-research tool that shows what a defined audience (by keyword, website, social account, or podcast) reads, watches, listens to, and follows, by combining social-graph, search, and web-crawl data.
AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it
Vendor markets an "AI-powered audience research" framing, but the underlying product is an aggregation/ranking engine over crawled affinity data rather than a disclosed ML/LLM model; the MCP layer adds genuine LLM-native querying via the connected client, not a SparkToro-owned model.
RevOps role
Audience/attention-mapping layer for GTM and content targeting - tells an operator where a target audience actually spends attention, complementary to (not competing with) the mention-monitoring tools elsewhere in this file.
MCP server
Status bucket
Official MCP
Auth
OAuth (one-click sign-in with an existing SparkToro account); documented to work with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and ChatGPT.

The vendor ships and maintains the server itself. A wrapper built by Zapier, Composio or a similar third party does not count as official. The status was established by hand on 2026-08-24. On 2026-09-04 the recorded URL served a documentation page, not an MCP endpoint. That is where to read about the server, not where to connect to it. An agent needs the second.

Catalogue shape
a fixed catalogue the vendor publishes

A tool below is one the server NAMES. Nobody has called it. That is the same two tier honesty rule the rest of the directory runs on: a named tool is research, and BENCH-TESTED stays the only claim that anybody ran anything.

  • URL

    evidence: in a README table · calling it reads

141 of the 741 entries that record an official or community MCP server carry a harvested tool list. The other 600 are unmeasured, which is not the same as empty. Harvest last run 2026-09-27. Every name across every server is on the tools index.

Command line

No CLI found by the 2026-09-27 harvest across vendor docs, npm, PyPI, Homebrew and GitHub. That is a probe result, not proof of absence.

Paid, self-serve
Can a solo operator reach it
Yes, by paying, no sales call

api_gate, verbatim from the file:

paid (mixed) - the MCP server requires an active paid subscription (Personal $50/mo, Business $150/mo, or Agency $300/mo); the separate REST API is pay-as-you-go credit bundles with no subscription required, and the API docs themselves are free to read without a key.

API documentation

No documentation URL recorded.

727 of 1252 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank.

GitHub health

Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build.

The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale.

A github.com URL already appears somewhere in this entry, which is a seed for that rail and not a measurement of repo health:

On GitHub

github.com/SparkToro tied to the vendor by rule 1, account website https://sparktoro.com has the vendor's domain, confidence strong

Kind is a heuristic guessed from the repository name, topics and description, not a fact the vendor stated. A repository count is activity, not a verdict. Read 2026-09-08.

Jobs it can do

No job tag on this entry.

Reason recorded by the tagging pass: no-job-fits. Audience attention mapping. Not account research, not mention monitoring. Candidate new job: map-audience-attention.

981 of 1,252 entries are untagged. An empty list here means nobody has tagged this, not that the tool does nothing. The vocabulary is closed, so a tool whose job is genuinely not in it stays blank rather than being forced into the nearest tag.

6 source URLs. Raw sources field, verbatim:

Notes, verbatim from the file
A public status page (github.com/SparkToro/status, built on Upptime) tracks live uptime for "SparkToro app, public API, and MCP server" - an unusually transparent, solo-operator-friendly touch rare in this category. The $0/mo free tier covers the core research product but does not include MCP access.
