Detect and Respond to Crises in Real-Time

Transform your crisis response from reactive damage control to proactive brand protection with automated social media monitoring through MCP.

Detect and Respond to Crises in Real-Time

The Problem

Brand crises don't wait for business hours. A single viral complaint, a product safety concern, or an employee misstep can spiral into a full-blown reputation emergency within hours. Traditional monitoring approaches leave dangerous gaps:

Delayed detection

Manual social media checks happen once or twice daily, missing the critical early window when crises can still be contained

Platform fragmentation

Your brand is discussed across Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit simultaneously—monitoring each platform separately means slower response times and missed context

Signal vs. noise

Thousands of daily mentions make it impossible to distinguish routine chatter from genuine threats without sophisticated filtering

Incomplete visibility

Standard social listening tools show you mentions but not who's amplifying them or how fast content is spreading

The Workflow

Xpoz MCP connects directly to Claude AI, enabling you to build automated monitoring systems that watch your brand 24/7 and surface emerging threats the moment they appear.

Example Queries

Ask Claude in natural language. Here are some examples with the underlying API calls:

Detecting unusual volume spikes

>"Count tweets mentioning "Acme Corp" from the past 7 days and compare to the previous 7-day period. Flag if current volume exceeds baseline by 200%."

countTweetsClaude uses countTweets to detecting unusual volume spikes.

Identifying high-risk content

>"Search Twitter posts containing "Acme Corp" AND ("recall" OR "injury" OR "dangerous" OR "FDA" OR "investigation"). Return text, authorUsername, retweetCount, impressionCount, createdAtDate. Sort by engagement."

countTweetsClaude uses countTweets to identifying high-risk content.

Mapping influence networks around negative content

>"For post ID [flagged_post_id], retrieve all users who retweeted it. Include followersCount, isVerified, and description fields. Identify any verified accounts, journalists, or users with >50K followers."

countTweetsClaude uses countTweets to mapping influence networks around negative content.

Cross-platform monitoring

>"Search Instagram posts from the past 48 hours containing "Acme Corp" with negative sentiment keywords. Include likeCount, commentCount, and username. Compare engagement levels to Twitter activity."

getInstagramUsersByKeywordsClaude uses getInstagramUsersByKeywords to cross-platform monitoring.

Why XPOZ

No API key management

Access Twitter and Instagram data through a single MCP connection without obtaining separate API credentials from each platform

Natural language queries

Ask Claude to "find all highly-engaged negative posts about our brand from the last 6 hours" instead of constructing complex API calls

Unified multi-platform view

Query Twitter and Instagram through the same interface, making cross-platform correlation straightforward

Network intelligence

Go beyond mention counting to understand who's amplifying content and how influence flows through networks

Authenticity scoring

Twitter data includes bot detection signals, helping you distinguish genuine customer concerns from coordinated inauthentic activity

Flexible export

Pull complete datasets as CSV for integration with your existing crisis management workflows and reporting tools

Frequently Asked Questions

Detection speed depends on your monitoring frequency. Xpoz queries return results in seconds, so you can run checks as frequently as needed—hourly, every 15 minutes, or continuously through automation. Most emerging crises show detectable signals 2-4 hours before mainstream pickup.

Yes. While Xpoz MCP operates through Claude AI queries, you can integrate these into automated workflows using n8n, scheduled scripts, or other automation platforms. Set thresholds for volume spikes or sentiment shifts that trigger notifications to your crisis response team.

Focus on three signals: volume anomalies (sudden spikes above baseline), amplifier quality (verified accounts, journalists, large followings engaging), and spread velocity (cross-platform pickup within hours). Normal complaints rarely exhibit all three simultaneously.

Xpoz provides access to Twitter/X and Instagram data through the MCP server. For comprehensive crisis monitoring, these platforms typically surface issues earliest due to their real-time nature.

No. The MCP integration means you can query social data using natural language through Claude. Ask for what you need—"show me negative brand mentions with high engagement"—and Claude handles the technical implementation.
