xiaohongshu-mcp is an MCP server that enables AI assistants to access and interact with Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) data and functionality.
The tool solves the problem of integrating Xiaohongshu capabilities into AI workflows by providing a Model Context Protocol server written in Go. It allows users to authenticate with Xiaohongshu and perform actions like publishing image and text content directly through AI assistants. The server handles login verification and supports multiple image input methods including HTTP/HTTPS links and local file paths.
Developers choosing this tool should be aware that multiple deployment approaches exist. The project recommends Openclaw deep integration for developers who want to build on top of the server, with separate repositories available for users who have already deployed the core project and those seeking an out-of-the-box experience. For non-technical users or those preferring minimal setup, the project points to a browser extension version that requires zero configuration and runs locally without server infrastructure. The README acknowledges that traditional Docker deployment can present troubleshooting challenges and suggests consulting a dedicated issues thread for common problems, or switching to the browser extension version as an alternative.
The project maintains active engagement with contributors and provides a contributing guide for those wanting to participate. All donations received are directed to charitable causes with records maintained in a dedicated file. The maintainer has established clear communication channels including email contact and issue tracking for corrections or attribution changes.
