Give this to your agent

Use my connected Agentik MCP server for this job: china market check.

Check my category’s market in China. First ask me for my category and brand, their Chinese names if I know them, and my home currency.

Search Xiaohongshu notes with tikhub/xiaohongshu-app-v2-search-notes and read the keyword’s popularity with tikhub/xiaohongshu-pgy-get-keyword-stat. Search Douyin videos with tikhub/douyin-search-fetch-video-search-v5 and Weibo posts with tikhub/weibo-web-v2-fetch-realtime-search. Read Xiaohongshu product prices with tikhub/xiaohongshu-app-v2-search-products. See who ranks on Baidu with dataforseo/serp-baidu-organic. Convert prices with frankfurter/latest-rates.

Finish with how people talk about the category, the brands and creators that lead, price levels in my currency, and whether and how to enter.

Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged.
