Cross-Platform Identity Resolver
Pin one real person to all of their social handles and confirm the match with shared bio links and emails
https://apidirect.io/mcp?token=YOUR_API_KEY
Find and confirm every social account belonging to {full_name}, who sometimes goes by {known_handle}.
cross-platform-identity-resolver.
Any agent can also call get_skill(skill_id="cross-platform-identity-resolver") to pull these steps on demand.
What it does
Anyone can claim a name; the trick is cross-confirmation. This finds candidate accounts on four platforms, then pulls a full profile to prove they're the same human via reused usernames, shared external links, and a public email.
Who it's for: Investigators, recruiters vetting candidates, and trust-and-safety teams
Inputs
| Input | Required | Description | Example |

How your agent runs it
-
1
search_twitter_users(query="{full_name}", pages=3)Collect candidate X accounts, recording each handle, verified status, bio, and any linked URL.
-
2
search_instagram_users(query="{full_name}")List candidate Instagram handles whose display name or bio overlaps the X candidates.
-
3
search_reddit_users(query="{known_handle}")Match a reused username, capturing karma and account age to gauge whether the account is established or throwaway.
-
4
search_youtube_channels(query="{full_name}", pages=2)Find channels whose description links back to the same website or handles seen on other platforms.
-
5
instagram_user_profile(username=<candidate_handle>)Pull the strongest candidate's bio, external_url, and public_email to cross-confirm it is the same person behind all the handles.
