Summary
Connect the Pinterest API to ChatGPT via MCP. Analyze pins, boards, and ad performance with natural language using AnythingMCP.
Analyze Your Pinterest with ChatGPT
Pinterest has no MCP connector. With AnythingMCP, you can convert Pinterest's REST API into an MCP server and let ChatGPT analyze your pins, boards, and audience insights.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Deploy AnythingMCP
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 2: Get Pinterest API Access
Create an app at https://developers.pinterest.com. Generate an access token with boards:read, pins:read, and user_accounts:read scopes.
Step 3: Create a REST Connector
Create a REST connector with base URL https://api.pinterest.com/v5. Set Bearer token authentication.
Step 4: Expose Key Endpoints
GET /user_account— Your profileGET /boards— Your boardsGET /boards/{board_id}/pins— Pins on a boardGET /pins/{pin_id}— Pin detailsGET /user_account/analytics— Account analyticsGET /pins/{pin_id}/analytics— Pin analytics
Step 5: Connect ChatGPT
ChatGPT connects from OpenAI's servers, so your AnythingMCP instance needs a public HTTPS URL; localhost does not work. You can also use cloud.anythingmcp.com.
- Go to chatgpt.com/plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
- Enter a name, e.g. Name:
AnythingMCP. - Under Connection, enter the Server URL
https://your-anythingmcp-instance.com/mcpand keep Authentication on OAuth. - Select I understand and want to continue, then Create as a plugin. When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP and allow access.
- Install the new plugin from your personal plugins, then type @ in a chat and pick it.
Step 6: Get Insights
- "Which of my pins had the most saves this month?"
- "What's the engagement trend for my top boards?"
- "How many impressions did my pins get this week?"
- "Which board drives the most outbound clicks?"
