NowHum
Setup guide

Connect NowHum to your AI

NowHum keeps the posts you send it by DM on X and Instagram, with captions, top comments and video transcripts. Connect it once and your AI can search and read all of it.

One address for every AI
https://app.nowhum.com/mcp

Before you start

  1. Send NowHum a post. DM any post to NowHum on X or Instagram. No account needed for your first posts.
  2. Make your account. When NowHum asks, sign up with your email. Everything you already sent comes with you.
  3. Connect your AI. Right after you subscribe, NowHum opens Connect your AI by itself: pick Claude or ChatGPT and press Allow. You can also use the guides below, or your Account page, any time.
  4. Ask your first question. Once you've pressed Allow, Open Claude (or Open ChatGPT) opens your AI with “What did I send NowHum this week?” already typed in. Press send.

Any other agent

Any app that supports MCP connectors

nowhum.com/connect
  1. If your agent adds MCP servers itself, the plain MCP address is https://app.nowhum.com/mcp. Most apps then open a NowHum sign-in; press Allow.
  2. If your agent can't do either, make an API key on your Account page: Account › Any other agent › Prefer an API key? We email you a code first, because a key works without you. Send it as:
Authorization: Bearer nh_…

Every connected AI and API key shows on your Account page (app.nowhum.com/account), under Your AI, and you can remove any of them there.

What your AI can do with NowHum

When you press Allow, NowHum shows you this, in one sentence:

Claude can search and read what you’ve saved, and save a post when you ask. It can’t delete anything, post for you, or spend money.

Try asking

  • What did I send NowHum this week?
  • Find that thread about speeding up GitHub CI and check if we’re doing it.
  • Open that post and tell me what the video says.
  • Which AI tools have I saved, grouped by what they do?

What it won't do

NowHum never posts, messages anyone, or changes anything on your social accounts. Your AI only sees your own library, never anyone else's.

Privacy and your data

What NowHum keeps

The posts you send it, their captions, top comments and transcripts, and the notes you write with them. Only you and the AIs you connect can read your library.

Claude or ChatGPT says it can't reach NowHum

Disconnect NowHum in your AI's settings and connect it again with the steps above. A connection lasts 90 days, or 30 days if you don't use it; reconnecting is one Allow.

My AI says my library is empty

Check that you connected the same NowHum account you DM from. Your AI's answer to “who am I connected as on NowHum?” names the account.

I connected two AIs. Is that OK?

Yes. Connect as many as you like; each one shows on your Account page, under Your AI, and can be removed on its own.
