Manifold reads public pages and groups with nothing to apply for. | | Login-based servers | Facebook Graph API | Manifold | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Needs your Facebook login | Yes | A Meta app | No | | Pages you do not manage | Yes | After app review | Yes | | Posts in public groups | Some | No, removed in 2024 | Yes | | Video transcripts | Rarely | No | Yes | | Posts or comments as you | Often | Yes | Never, read-only | | Setup | Local install | App review | Paste one URL | ## Things to ask - What has this page posted this month, and which posts got the most reactions? [page URL] - Summarise the comments on this post: [post URL] - What are people asking in this group this week?

No. Manifold is hosted and reads public Facebook through a data provider, so there is no login, no cookie and no app review. ### Can it read Facebook groups? Public groups, yes: your agent gets a group’s posts, newest first. Private groups are not readable. [Facebook tools in the docs](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/tools/facebook.md). ### Can my agent post or comment? No. Every tool is read-only. Your agent reads and reports; you decide what to post. ### Which clients does it work with? Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok, OpenCode and any other client that connects to a remote MCP server. Sign in with OAuth, or use an API key from the dashboard for scripts. [Setup guides for every client](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/clients.md). ### Can it see a page’s ads? Yes, with the ad library tools on the same server, which read Meta’s public ad library by keyword, brand or advertiser.
