Overview

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients to interact with external tools and data. By connecting the PostPulse MCP Server, your AI agent can list and connect accounts, upload media, and schedule posts — all directly from your chat interface.

Setup

Connect the PostPulse MCP Server to your AI assistant.

Remote MCP Server (Recommended)

Easiest option! Just point your MCP-compatible client to our hosted server. OAuth2 auto-discovery handles all authentication automatically.
  1. Add the server to your AI client

    Add the remote MCP server URL to your client:

    https://mcp.post-pulse.com
  2. Sign in to PostPulse

    Your client will auto-discover the OAuth endpoints and walk you through authorization.

    Sign in with Google or a one-time email code. No existing PostPulse account is needed — it is created automatically on the first sign-in.

  3. Connect your social accounts

    Ask your agent, for example, "Connect my LinkedIn account". It calls connect_account and gives you a secure link to approve access in your browser.

    Accounts you have already connected at post-pulse.com/app/accounts are available right away.

Claude Desktop

For Claude Desktop, add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postpulse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.post-pulse.com"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

The PostPulse MCP Server exposes 5 tools that your AI agent can call.

list_accounts

List all connected social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, etc.) with their IDs and platforms.

Parameters:

None — returns all connected accounts.

Returns:

Array of account objects with id, platform, username, name, and needsReauthorization. A new user gets an empty array and a hint to use connect_account.

connect_account

Get a secure PostPulse link that connects (or reconnects) a social media account directly from the chat. The user opens the link in a browser, checks which PostPulse account the social account will be attached to, and approves access on the platform. The tool does not wait for completion — once the user is done, the agent calls list_accounts to confirm the new account.

Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
platformstring (optional)Platform to connect: INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE, TIKTOK, THREADS, LINKEDIN, X_TWITTER, BLUE_SKY, TELEGRAM, or PINTEREST. Not needed when accountId is given
accountIdnumber (optional)Reconnect an existing account from list_accounts (usually one with needsReauthorization: true). The platform is taken from the account

Pass either platform (new connection) or accountId (reconnect).

Returns:

A single-use connection link, valid for 24 hours, with instructions for the user.

Notes:

  • For a new connection the tool first checks that your plan or credits allow another account; if not, it returns the reason and a link to billing.
  • The link is tied to your PostPulse account — do not share it: whoever completes it attaches their social account to yours.
  • Telegram cannot be connected with a link: the tool returns instructions to connect it at post-pulse.com instead.
  • For Facebook, Pinterest, and Telegram, call list_chats afterwards to pick the Page, board, or channel.

list_chats

List chat threads for a connected social media account. Required for Facebook Pages, Telegram Channels and Pinterest boards.

Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
accountIdnumberThe account ID from list_accounts
platformstringPlatform name (FACEBOOK, TELEGRAM or PINTEREST)

Returns:

Array of available chats (Telegram channels / Facebook pages / Pinterest boards) with IDs and titles.
