Hooklayer — Live TikTok Creator Intelligence for AI Agents

Hooklayer is the viral content intelligence layer for AI agents. Pull real performance data from any TikTok handle in seconds — viral DNA scoring, replicability analysis, format fingerprints, top videos, hook patterns, and a stealable steal_map.

What makes Hooklayer different

Most viral content APIs return raw scrapes — you still have to figure out what to do with the data. Hooklayer returns an agentic chain: one tool call surfaces the next 3 tool calls, with parameters pre-filled. Your agent reads it and chains automatically. No prompt engineering, no glue code.

The 7 MCP Tools

🎯 analyze_account (5 credits) — The agentic anchor

Deep intelligence on a TikTok creator by handle. Returns viral_dna scores, replicability_score, originality_score, consistency_score, audience_fatigue, format fingerprint, top 5 videos, content gaps, and the flagship recommended_chain field that pre-fills the next 3 tool calls.

⚡ score_hook (1 credit)

Score any TikTok/Reels/Shorts hook against proven viral patterns. Returns 0-100 score, percentile rank, matched viral pattern, three rewritten versions at higher quality, and a one-sentence verdict.

🎬 viral_remix (3 credits)

Take a viral source video URL or transcript. Produces a fresh script that mirrors its viral DNA — same scene structure, same energy pattern, different topic. Returns extracted formula, scene-by-scene script, camera shots, text overlays.

📈 trend_pulse (1 credit)

Surface what is actually peaking in short-form video right now for a given niche. Returns 3 rising opportunities (format/hook/style/topic) with growth rates and "what to do" suggestions, plus 2 saturated patterns to avoid.

🔍 find_viral_template (1 credit)

Find proven viral templates in a niche with example videos. Returns niche-fit ranked templates with hook patterns, structure, and real example URLs.

🎙️ match_voice (2 credits)

Extract a creator's voice DNA from 3+ reference samples (URLs or text). Rewrites any draft in their voice — energy level, sentence length, vocabulary, signature moves.

🔮 predict_virality (2 credits)

Score a draft script for viral potential before recording. Returns score, retention diagnosis, pattern interrupts, share triggers, and revision suggestions.

The Agentic Chain Pattern

Call analyze_account once. The response includes a recommended_chain field:

{
  "viral_dna_score": 87,
  "recommended_chain": [
    {
      "tool": "match_voice",
      "params": { "draft": "<<<USER_DRAFT>>>", "reference_samples": [...] },
      "reason": "High-signal voice DNA — consistent across top 5 videos"
    },
    {
      "tool": "trend_pulse",
      "params": { "niche": "challenge_videos" },
      "reason": "Verify their formula maps to current trends"
    },
    {
      "tool": "viral_remix",
      "params": { "source_url": "https://tiktok.com/..." },
      "reason": "Their #2 video has the highest copyable structure"
    }
  ]
}
