# Xiaohongshu MCP Skill (with Python Client)
Automate content operations on Xiaohongshu (小红书) using a bundled Python script that interacts with the `xpzouying/xiaohongshu-mcp` server (8.4k+ stars).
**Project:** [xpzouying/xiaohongshu-mcp](https://github.com/xpzouying/xiaohongshu-mcp)
## 1. Local Server Setup
This skill requires the `xiaohongshu-mcp` server to be running on your local machine.
### Step 1: Download Binaries
Download the appropriate binaries for your system from the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/xpzouying/xiaohongshu-mcp/releases) page.
| Platform | MCP Server | Login Tool |
| -------- | ---------- | ---------- |
| macOS (Apple Silicon) | `xiaohongshu-mcp-darwin-arm64` | `xiaohongshu-login-darwin-arm64` |
| macOS (Intel) | `xiaohongshu-mcp-darwin-amd64` | `xiaohongshu-login-darwin-amd64` |
| Windows | `xiaohongshu-mcp-windows-amd64.exe` | `xiaohongshu-login-windows-amd64.exe` |
| Linux | `xiaohongshu-mcp-linux-amd64` | `xiaohongshu-login-linux-amd64` |
Grant execute permission to the downloaded files:
```shell
chmod +x xiaohongshu-mcp-darwin-arm64 xiaohongshu-login-darwin-arm64
```
### Step 2: Login (First Time Only)
Run the login tool. It will open a browser window with a QR code. Scan it with your Xiaohongshu mobile app.
```shell
./xiaohongshu-login-darwin-arm64
```
> **Important**: Do not log into the same Xiaohongshu account on any other web browser, as this will invalidate the server's session.
### Step 3: Start the MCP Server
Run the MCP server in a separate terminal window. It will run in the background.
```shell
# Run in headless mode (recommended)
./xiaohongshu-mcp-darwin-arm64
# Or, run with a visible browser for debugging
./xiaohongshu-mcp-darwin-arm64 -headless=false
```
The server will be available at `http://localhost:18060`.
## 2. Using the Skill
This skill includes a Python client (`scripts/xhs_client.py`) to interact with the local server. You can use it directly from the shell.
### Available Commands
| Command | Description | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `status` | Check login status | `python scripts/xhs_client.py status` |
| `search <keyword>` | Search for notes | `python scripts/xhs_client.py search "咖啡"` |
| `detail <id> <token>` | Get note details | `python scripts/xhs_client.py detail "note_id" "xsec_token"` |
| `feeds` | Get recommended feed | `python scripts/xhs_client.py feeds` |
| `publish <title> <content> <images>` | Publish a note | `python scripts/xhs_client.py publish "Title" "Content" "url1,url2"` |
### Example Workflow: Market Research
1. **Check Status**: First, ensure the server is running and you are logged in.
```shell
python ~/clawd/skills/xiaohongshu-mcp/scripts/xhs_client.py status
```
2. **Search for a Keyword**: Find notes related to your research topic. The output will include the `feed_id` and `xsec_token` needed for the next step.
```shell
python ~/clawd/skills/xiaohongshu-mcp/scripts/xhs_client.py search "户外电源"
```
3. **Get Note Details**: Use the `feed_id` and `xsec_token` from the search results to get the full content and comments of a specific note.
```shell
python ~/clawd/skills/xiaohongshu-mcp/scripts/xhs_client.py detail "64f1a2b3c4d5e6f7a8b9c0d1" "security_token_here"
```
4. **Analyze**: Review the note's content, comments, and engagement data to gather insights.Related Skills

xurl
A Twitter research and content intelligence skill focused on attracting WordPress and Shopify clients. Use to analyze Twitter profiles, threads, and conversations for: (1) Identifying what small agency founders and eCommerce brands are discussing; (2) Understanding pain points around WordPress performance, Shopify CRO, and development bottlenecks; (3) Extracting high-performing content angles; (4) Turning insights into authority-building posts; (5) Converting Twitter intelligence into business leverage for clear content angles, strong positioning, and qualified inbound leads.
xlsx
Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like "the xlsx in my downloads") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
