Remote MCP · your PinTool account

Pinterest research in the AI workspace you already use.

Connect a compatible Claude or ChatGPT client to your PinTool account. When you ask it to use PinTool, it can ground a content decision in actual research rather than inventing keyword evidence.

This uses your existing Free, Starter or Pro allowance. There is no separate machine wallet or anonymous research endpoint.

Start with these read-only actions

Three useful questions for your first session.

01 · Check your allowance

get_pintool_usage

Confirm your connected plan and remaining research allowance before asking for data. This does not use a research credit.

02 · Research a topic

search_pinterest_keywords

Ask for Pinterest keyword evidence around a topic and region, then decide which content angles are worth investigating.

03 · Inspect a public profile

analyze_pinterest_profile

Examine a public Pinterest profile when competitor or niche context would change a content decision.

PinTool has other tools for connected accounts. Start with the three above to verify the connection and understand the result before using broader workflows. A client may list tools without invoking them; you must select PinTool in your AI workspace and ask it to use the tool.

Connection steps

Authorize, research, revoke.

  1. Create a PinTool account or sign in.
  2. Open MCP connection settings and follow the instructions for a compatible Claude or ChatGPT client.
  3. Approve only the requested access on the PinTool consent screen; your password is not shared with the AI client.
  4. Ask the client to check your allowance, then request a specific keyword topic or public profile.
  5. Revoke access in your PinTool connection settings whenever you want.

A first prompt you can adapt

Using PinTool only, research Pinterest keywords for “vegetarian weeknight dinners” in the US. Based on the returned results, suggest three content angles I could genuinely create. State what the results do not prove.

A research call uses the same plan quota as the PinTool website. Empty results are not proof that a topic has no audience. PinTool does not promise search ranking, traffic or automatic invocation by an AI client.

For technical setup

PinTool's remote MCP endpoint is https://pintool.io/api/mcp over Streamable HTTP. It requires a PinTool OAuth connection; it is not a public scraping API. OAuth authorization and protected-resource metadata are served under /.well-known/. The exact client setup and revocation controls are in your account settings.
