FAQ
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools. Originally created by Anthropic, it's now supported by OpenAI, Cursor, Windsurf, and many more. It means your AI can directly schedule your social media posts through posterly.
Does this work with ChatGPT?
Yes. ChatGPT Desktop supports MCP servers. Add the posterly config to ChatGPT's MCP settings and you can schedule posts directly from ChatGPT.
Which AI clients are supported?
Any MCP-compatible client works: Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, Zed, OpenAI Codex, and any future client that supports MCP. The setup is the same — just add the config JSON.
Do I need to keep the posterly dashboard open?
No. Once set up, your AI talks directly to the posterly API. You never need to open the dashboard to schedule posts — though it's still there if you want it.
Can I use the REST API directly?
Yes. The API add-on includes full REST API access at /api/v1/. Use your API key as a Bearer token. Great for custom scripts, automations, and building your own integrations.
What happens if I cancel the add-on?
Your API keys stop working at the end of the billing period. Your posts, accounts, and base subscription are not affected.
