Smart Post Studio
Read, draft and schedule social media posts to 8 platforms. No post-now tool by design.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http smart-post-studio 'https://app.smartpoststudio.com/v1/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"smart-post-studio": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://app.smartpoststudio.com/v1/mcp"

Smart Post Studio MCP — connect your AI to your social media queue
Smart Post Studio is a social media scheduler for 8 platforms (Instagram, Threads, TikTok, X, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn incl. Company Pages, Fanvue). It exposes a remote MCP server so any MCP-capable assistant — Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code + Copilot, Gemini CLI — can read your queue, draft posts and schedule them.
This repo is the public documentation and example configs for that server. The server itself is hosted; there is nothing to install or run.
Server URL: https://app.smartpoststudio.com/v1/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Auth: OAuth (browser sign-in) or Bearer token
Plan: included on every paid plan, from $8/mo · 14-day free trial, no card
Full guide: **https://smartpoststudio.com/mcp**
60-second setup

Smart Post Studio - URL:
https://app.smartpoststudio.com/v1/mcp - Leave OAuth Client ID / Secret empty
Click Add → sign in with your Smart Post Studio email/password → choose what the AI may do (read, draft, schedule) → Allow.
Claude Code
claude mcp add sps --transport http https://app.smartpoststudio.com/v1/mcp
Then run /mcp and finish the sign-in in your browser.
Cursor / VS Code / any client that uses headers
Create a token in the web app → AI access → Create token (shown once), then see examples/ for a ready-made config:
{ "mcpServers": { "sps": {

Test it
Ask: "What's in my Smart Post Studio queue?"
Tools
| Tool | What it does | Notes |
|---|---|---|
get_connected_platforms | Lists the platforms you've connected and whether each publishes from the cloud or from your desktop app | The AI can never connect a platform itself |
list_posts | Reads your queue, filterable by status (e.g. scheduled) | Newest first |
create_post | Creates a draft or scheduled post: caption, platforms[], optional media_urls[], optional scheduled_at | Per-platform limits enforced server-side (X ≤ 280 chars, Threads ≤ 500, Instagram requires media) |
update_post | Edits caption, platforms, media or time | Requires expected_updated_at — optimistic locking, so two agents can't clobber each other |
cancel_post | Returns a scheduled post to drafts | Not a delete |
get_post_results | Per-platform publish result for a post | Use it for "did yesterday's post go out?" |
Platform keys: instagram, threads, tiktok, x, facebook, youtube, linkedin (personal), linkedin_page (Company Page), fanvue.
Guardrails (by design)
- There is no "post now" tool. Everything an AI creates is a draft or a scheduled post at least 10 minutes out, visible in your Queue with an AI badge. That is a window to intervene, not an approval step.
- Permissions are per connection: read / draft / schedule. Start with read + draft.
- Rate limits: 30 requests/min, 100 AI-created posts/day.
- Media by URL only, public https, ≤ 25 MB each.
- Tokens last 90 days, max 5 per account, revocable instantly under AI access.
- A single post can't mix cloud-published and desktop-published platforms (
mixed_fire_platforms) — split it in two. - Every action is written to your account history.

Example prompts
See examples/prompts.md for a full week. The short version:
- "What's scheduled across all my platforms for the next seven days? Group it by day and flag any empty day."
- "Draft posts about [topic] for Instagram, Threads and LinkedIn — same idea, different openings. Keep Threads under 500 characters. Save as drafts, don't schedule."
- *"Schedule the Instagram draft for Tuesday 10:00 with this image: https://…"*
- "Move that post to Friday." / "Cancel it."
- "Did yesterday's post go out everywhere?"
Which clients can write?
Tested: Claude (all tiers incl. free), Claude Code, Cursor — read + write. ChatGPT: full MCP including writes is Business/Enterprise/Edu only per OpenAI's docs; Pro is read-only. Details and dates: Which AI can actually schedule your posts over MCP?
