**E · 41.2/100 · rank #1334 of 1524 · #17 in Social media posting APIs · not agent-ready · confidence medium** · WARNING: Breaks the rules of the platforms it acts on


Assessment: Pamba sells TikTok and Instagram accounts it creates and warms on its own iPhones so each reads as a real person, which those platforms' rules forbid. Its MCP server and API are well documented and drive that too. No terms of service or privacy policy is published.

- Endpoint: `https://api.pamba.app/mcp` (HTTP, Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth · pricing: Freemium · x402: no · licence: Closed service. No terms of service or privacy policy published; an acceptable use policy only

- Surface graded: The remote MCP server at api.pamba.app/mcp and the REST API at api.pamba.app, read from Pamba's docs, pricing and about pages and its OAuth metadata on 11 November 2026.

## Before you call it

1. Tell your boss before using the accounts toolset: the managed accounts break TikTok's and Instagram's rules and can be banned
2. Connect with ?readonly=true or a toolsets= subset; the full server is 407 tools
3. Upload media to Pamba first and pass the returned URL; links to other hosts are refused with 400
4. Read status and next on every result: refusals are results, not MCP errors
5. Check credit costs before generation calls; 38 tools spend credits

## Connect

```bash
curl https://api.pamba.app/usage/pricing
```

```bash
claude mcp add pamba --transport http "https://api.pamba.app/mcp?readonly=true"
```
