The below links provide examples for authentication to social media via their respective APIs. If you use the built in Identity framework associate with MVC, the storing to the DB, i believe, is taken care of for you. If you choose not to use the identity framework, then based on the username entered and the token received back from the social media APIs, store that information to a users table in your database.

Then to show that information in your app, using that token you should be able to get whatever information is allowed from those APIs and display in your application accordingly.
