Setup in 3 steps

Takes about 2 minutes. Use the local stdio package for desktop clients, or the HTTP endpoint for browser-based agents.

No Posterly account yet?

An AI agent can install the MCP server without an API key, call start_signup, and poll get_signup_session while you pay and set a password in the browser.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "posterly": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "posterly-mcp-server@latest"]
    }
  }
}

After Posterly shows the API key, add POSTERLY_API_KEY to unlock scheduling and social account connection tools.

1

Enable API access in posterly

Go to Dashboard → API & MCP and enable the API add-on ($3/month). Then click "Create Key" and copy your bearer key.

2

Add posterly to your AI client

Choose your client below and add the stdio config. Replace the key with yours:

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config

claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "posterly": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "posterly-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "POSTERLY_API_KEY": "pst_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Not sure how? Copy and paste into your AI assistant. It'll handle the rest.

3

Restart your client and start posting

Restart your AI client. You should see "posterly" in the MCP tools list. Try saying: "Run get_mcp_status, then list my posterly accounts".

HTTP

Using a browser-based agent? Skip the install.

Claude in Chrome, ChatGPT Atlas, Cursor in browser, and any other web-based MCP client can talk to posterly directly over HTTP. No local subprocess needed; it is the same key, same paywall, and same 55 HTTP MCP tools.

POST https://www.poster.ly/api/mcp Authorization: Bearer pst_live_your_key_here Content-Type: application/json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/list" }

Auto-discovery: hit /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json for the full server card, or /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource for auth metadata.
