2. Download the appropriate binary for your OS from the GitHub Releases page.
3. Grant execution permissions using chmod +x <filename>.
4. Initialize the session by running the login binary and scanning the QR code with your mobile app.
5. Start the MCP server using the binary; ensure it is running in the background before issuing commands via the Python client.

Use Cases

• Market Research: Aggregate trending content and hashtags within specific niches to inform product development.
• Content Scheduling: Automate the batch publishing of image and text-based notes to maintain a consistent posting cadence.
• Sentiment Analysis: Analyze comment sections and interaction patterns of viral posts to gauge audience reception.
• Competitor Monitoring: Automatically fetch data from competitor feeds to track their growth strategies and top-performing content.

Example Prompts

1. "Search for the top 5 trending posts regarding 'sustainable fashion' on Xiaohongshu and summarize the most frequent keywords used in their descriptions."
2. "Publish a new note with the title 'Morning Coffee Routine' and body content 'Starting my day with the perfect brew!' using the image located at /path/to/coffee.jpg."
3. "Check my current session status to ensure the MCP server is connected, then fetch my personalized recommendation feed."

Tips & Limitations

• Session Integrity: Avoid logging into your Xiaohongshu account on multiple browsers or devices simultaneously, as this frequently leads to session invalidation and login failure.
• Headless Mode: Use the -headless=false flag during initial setup to debug authentication issues; once stable, switch to headless mode to reduce resource consumption.
• Rate Limiting: Be mindful of platform rate limits; do not attempt to scrape thousands of posts in a short burst to avoid account shadowbanning or IP restrictions. Always use moderate delays in your automation scripts.
