Changelog

Outreach emails now pass authentication checks

Emails sent by the Creatorland matchmaker were failing DKIM authentication because of a DNS misconfiguration, so some arrived with a "not verified" warning or landed in spam. The DNS records are fixed and verified.

• The fix covers every email the matchmaker sends on your behalf, including connection requests, follow-ups, and pitch deliveries.
• No action needed. Warnings clear as DNS caches refresh.

Market sizing from a written brief

count_creators now sizes a market from a written brief, not only from structured filters. It estimates from a stratified sample of the corpus and returns a plain count, or a count range when the estimate is noisy.

• Pass the same brief text you would give search_creators, with or without structured filters on top.
• When sampling uncertainty is above 15 percent, the tool returns a count range instead of a single misleading number.
• Refused or failed sizing requests are not billed. A detailed breakdown costs 1 credit.
• Estimates were validated against a 12-brief ground-truth run over the full 3.1 million creator corpus before release.

Creator replies now land reliably

Two bugs in the outreach reply pipeline could leave a creator reply unmatched or unread, so the brand never saw it. Both are fixed, and the missed replies were recovered and routed for review.

• Replies sent to the base outreach address now match to the right connection by sender email, not only by the reply reference.
• Short replies wrapped in HTML signatures are read correctly instead of coming through empty.
• A reply the classifier cannot read with confidence now pauses the follow-up sequence and goes to a human for review instead of being dropped.

Creator to brand pitches

Creators can now pitch brands from their assistant. The new request_brand_connection tool takes a pitch, finds the right brand contact, and delivers it after review, with replies brokered back the same way brand to creator outreach works.

• Available on Pro. Queuing a pitch is free; 10 credits are charged when the pitch sends.
• Every pitch request gets the same acknowledgement, so responses never reveal whether we have a contact for a brand.
• A creator's first pitch is held for review before anything sends.
• When a brand opts in, an intro email connects the brand contact and the creator directly.

Account status in the site header

The site header now shows whether you are signed in on every marketing page. Signed out, you get a sign-in link and a get-started button. Signed in, you get your name and avatar with a menu that jumps to your dashboard.

Sharper search results and clearer filters

search_creators now scores how well each result fits, and the full filter set is documented so an assistant picks the right filters for the job.

• Each result carries a relative_fit score from 0 to 1 against the top match, so a weak tail is easy to trim.
• All 24 filters are documented, including brand affiliations, audience country and its minimum share, content format, and data freshness.
• The tool now steers toward tight filters for outreach lists and broad ones for market sizing, and it favors precision over raw count.

A larger, fresher creator dataset

Search and profiles run on a bigger set of creators now, with more audience detail behind the filters. A new export pipeline brought in net-new creators and refreshed the data on ones we already had.

• The dataset covers roughly 3.15 million creators across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
• Records carry more audience detail: country and language breakdowns, engagement, account type, and interests.
• Audience-country search filters read this real audience data now instead of thin estimates.
• Newer data wins on refresh, and existing detail is kept rather than overwritten.

Rate benchmarks by creator tier

The pricing and rate skills benchmark by creator tier now instead of blending a whole vertical into one number. A mid or mega creator no longer gets quoted against nano and micro rates.

• Rates normalize by tier, from emerging through mega.
• Measured per-tier medians span roughly 5x from the smallest tier to the largest, so bigger creators are priced closer to what they command.
• The rate-card, fair-price, and one-number-rate skills all read the tier.

Audience reports separate fake and mass followers

get_audience_report splits low-quality followers into two groups now: fake (bot or suspicious) and mass (real but low value). Before, the two were lumped together, which could make an account look worse or better than it was.

• A new mass_follower_pct field reports the real-but-low-value share.
• fake_follower_pct means suspicious or bot accounts only now.
• The numbers line up with the source vendor report, so a credibility read is easier to trust.

Workflow Builder on the use-cases page

The use-cases page now opens with the Workflow Builder in the hero. Instead of reading about the MCP first, visitors can describe a creator-marketing goal and immediately get a suggested workflow.

• The standalone /workflow page still works as a deep link.
• The use-cases page now makes the builder the first interaction on the page.
• The page keeps a single top-level heading, so it stays clean for search and accessibility.

Credits now settle more predictably

Credit packs and promo credits now behave like true balances. Monthly plan credits still reset each billing period, but purchased packs and promo credits deplete permanently as they are used.

• Monthly plan credits reset on the customer's own billing cycle, not the calendar month.
• Purchased credit packs and promo credits are debited at charge time.
• Refund and rebate paths now restore the correct pack or promo balance when credits are returned.
• Vendor-cost tools, including audience reports, continue to avoid promo-credit spend so real data costs are covered correctly.

Search timeout protection

The search_creators tool now has tighter query budgets and better failure behavior under heavy load.

• Expensive search branches now run with transaction-local statement timeouts.
• Timeout failures return a graceful, unbilled narrow-or-retry response instead of hanging or failing unclearly.
• A production incident from concurrent heavy analytics and live search traffic led to additional guardrails for future operational queries.

Better support for IDE clients

Connecting from IDE-style MCP clients is now more reliable, especially for clients that use branded URLs or native-app callback schemes.

• The branded https://mcp.creatorland.com/mcp URL now advertises matching protected-resource metadata for strict RFC 9728 clients.
• Native-app OAuth callbacks are now supported for IDE clients that use private callback schemes.
• Cursor has been verified end to end with the branded URL.
• The Creatorland Data plugin now points at the branded MCP URL.

Recipes documentation

The docs now include a Recipes section with practical, runnable workflows for common Creatorland MCP tasks.

• New recipe index at /docs/recipes.
• Recipes include casting from a brief, pricing a deal, matching and enriching a list, vetting an audience, reaching out, and monitoring or wrapping a campaign.
• Each recipe shows the prompt, the tools the agent composes, the expected artifact, and the credits or tier gates to know before running it.
• Recipes link back to relevant tools and do-it-for-you skills.

More flexible campaign outreach

Creator outreach now supports more campaign shapes and safer agent-composed copy.

• New structured campaign brief support for casting, product gifting, partner promo, event invite, and paid collaboration workflows.
• Outreach copy can be composed from the campaign brief with deterministic validation and vetted fallback templates.
• First campaigns from new customers can be held for review before sending.
• A preview endpoint lets teams inspect first-touch copy without side effects.
• Intro threads now include a more useful mutual-recap block when a creator opts in.

Campaign Designer skill

The Creatorland skill set now includes a campaign-designer flow for guided outreach setup.

• The skill walks a user through campaign type, offer, ask, exclusions, proof links, and approval.
• It is designed to pair with outreach preview and first-campaign review.
• The guide surface now teaches clients how to use the brief, preview, and approval flow.

Connect from ChatGPT

ChatGPT can now connect to the MCP. We recognize ChatGPT's metadata-based sign-in, so adding Creatorland works the same way it already does in Claude, Codex, Cursor, Perplexity, and Grok.

• Point ChatGPT at https://data-mcp.creatorland.com/mcp and sign in with your Creatorland account.
• Works for ChatGPT developer-mode connectors too.

Audience reports

A new audience-intelligence tool reads a creator's audience: demographics, a credibility and fake-follower screen, and a true-fit read that blends real reach with fit.

• Ask for an audience report on any creator in a shortlist.
• See a coverage and cost preflight before any credits are spent.

Workflow Designer

A new Workflow Designer turns a goal into a ready-to-run plan you can hand straight to your assistant, alongside an FAQ and a knowledge layer that keeps agent answers about the MCP accurate.

Bulk match and enrich

Bring your own contact list. Find for free how many are creators in the corpus, confirm the exact credit cost, then enrich only the matches with full profile data. Contact details are never returned.

• Matching is free; you only pay to enrich the creators you actually found.
• Large results come back as a downloadable file.

Creator avatars in results

Creator shortlists and profiles now include avatars on Pro, served through a signed, privacy-safe media proxy.

Quickstart-first docs

Quickstart is now the docs landing page with a copy-paste connect hero, and use cases are organized by who you are: brands, agencies, talent, and developers.

Buy more credits, and auto-reload

Top up credits yourself at $25 per 1,000, with volume discounts as you buy more, and optionally auto-reload when you run low.

• Dashboard credit-pack selector with tier pricing.

Connect from any MCP client

The server now speaks the full OAuth 2.1 + MCP discovery surface, so any spec-compliant client can connect, not just Claude. Point your client at the branded host and sign in.

• Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591): clients self-register, no manual allowlisting.
• Branded connection URL: https://data-mcp.creatorland.com/mcp, with aligned issuer and redirects.
• Full discovery: protected-resource metadata (RFC 9728), authorization-server metadata, and a 401 challenge a client can bootstrap from.
• Verified end to end for Claude, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex, Cursor, Perplexity, v0, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed.

Connect free, no waitlist

The free tier is fully self-serve: connect, sign in with your Creatorland account, and the server provisions 250 credits a month with no card. Pricing is published in full.

• Self-serve onboarding replaces the pilot framing.
• A pricing-transparency page publishes every tool weight, the price per credit, and the free tier.

Brand to creator outreach, end to end

Outreach is now a first-class capability: initiate a brand to creator sequence, monitor replies, and broker intros, all from your assistant. Connection-enabled workflow skills surface it.

• Connection tools: request a connection, check its status, list your outreaches.
• Wave 2 connection-enabled skills documented on the site.

Live Fair-Rate demo and in-dashboard connection toggle

The homepage runs a live Fair-Rate benchmark you can try without connecting, and the customer dashboard gained a per-brand connection-request toggle.

Credits, in the open

A credits cheat sheet and an interactive estimator let you price a month of work before you connect.

One-click install and request access

Add the connector to Cursor or VS Code in one click, or copy the URL for any client. A request-access form captures teams that want Pro.

• Add to Cursor, Add to VS Code, and Copy URL on the connect pages.
