Do I need a Bilibili account or a paid key?
No. The add-on quietly fetches the visitor cookies it needs on its own, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing to pay.
Which apps does this work in?
Any assistant that lets you paste in a small server config, such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Trae. The project's own setup screenshot uses Trae.
How hard is setup?
You paste a short config block that launches it with npx. Node version 20.12 or newer has to be installed on your computer first.
Can I use this to list everything a creator has posted?
No. That tool is listed but deliberately disabled in the code and returns an error every time, because Bilibili blocks the request.
Can I use this to research a topic before making my own video?
Yes. Search by keyword, then pull view counts and descriptions for whichever results look worth studying.
Will the results be in English?
Mostly not. Titles, descriptions, and tags come back in Chinese, though your assistant can translate them for you on the spot.
Does asking for a specific number of results work?
No. The search tool accepts a result-count setting but never actually applies it, so you always get a full page back.
Can it change anything on Bilibili?
No. Every tool only reads. It cannot comment, like, upload, follow, or delete, so there is nothing it can break on your account.
