# Sprout Social through toolfare

> Impressions, reactions and clicks for every post you published, daily reach, engagement and follower growth for each profile, across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X and the rest — answered inside ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or Cursor. Connect Sprout Social to toolfare once with an API token; your AI reads it through that token, and every read is free.

Page: https://toolfare.ai/sprout-social

## Use it from your agent

Paste this into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any agent with a shell:

> Set up https://toolfare.ai/skill.md, then use toolfare to answer: Which of our LinkedIn posts got the most engagement last month?

Apps without a terminal connect toolfare as an MCP server: https://toolfare.ai/docs#connect

## Use it from a script

```sh
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
curl -fsSL 'https://toolfare.ai/toolfare/toolfare.mjs' -o ~/.local/bin/toolfare
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/toolfare
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
export TOOLFARE_MCP_URL='https://api.toolfare.ai/mcp'
toolfare login
```

Then connect your Sprout Social account in the toolfare console (https://toolfare.ai/sprout-social#setup); calls fail until it is connected.

Sign in once per machine; the CLI renews the sign-in itself. On a CI runner or another server, create an API key in the toolfare console and set it as `TOOLFARE_API_KEY` instead of signing in. Paid calls on one sign-in or key run one at a time. `--max-cost` refuses a call quoted above that many credits (1,000 credits = $3).

## Tools

### How every published post performed

Tool: `sprout_post_analytics`

One row per post published in a time range, with its lifetime impressions, reactions and clicks, its text and its link.

Ask:
- Which of our LinkedIn posts got the most engagement last month?
- What did our top five Instagram posts this quarter have in common?

### Reach, engagement and follower growth, day by day

Tool: `sprout_profile_analytics`

Daily impressions, engagement and follower growth for the profiles you choose, over an inclusive date range.

Ask:
- How did follower growth change week over week on each profile?
- Which network drove the most impressions last month?

### Your connected profiles and tags

Tool: `sprout_list_profiles`

The social profiles your Sprout account manages, by network, with the account’s tags.

Ask:
- Which social profiles are connected to Sprout?
- What tags do we use in Sprout?

## Price

Free to read: it is your own account, so toolfare pays nobody for the data and charges nothing per read. No per-read charge to observe. Reads need no purchase. Like every toolfare call, they run only while your balance holds at least $0.003, and that is not spent.

Balances and top-ups are in US dollars. Quotes and `--max-cost` count credits: 1,000 credits = $3 ($0.003 each).

## Use it when

- You want to know which organic posts worked, across networks, without a Sprout report.
- You want follower growth and engagement next to paid social in the same conversation.
- You are planning content and want the last quarter’s best posts to learn from.

## Look elsewhere when

- You want paid campaign results. Those live in your ad accounts.
- You want someone else’s posts or a creator’s audience. Sprout reports on profiles you own.
- You want to schedule or publish a post. The connection is read-only.

## Limits

- Profile analytics take at most 100 profiles per request; a larger set is rejected rather than truncated.
- Post analytics are paged, so a long range with many posts is several calls.
- Requests share Sprout’s per-token API quota with anything else using the same token.
